Hill and his team looked at the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey, comprising data collected from 1973 to 2018. Data initially appeared to indicate a positive connection between gun ownership and happiness. But once researchers delved deeper and factored marital status into the analysis, they found that gun owners were more likely to be married than non-gun owners. Researchers concluded that it was not gun ownership but rather being married that was producing the group's happiness. |

What a worthless 'study'.
Why would such a distinction be important? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
