Analyze the following study according to the criteria set by your instructor:A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine concludes that the number of handgun deaths in Vancouver, British Columbia, between 1980 and 1986 was less than one-fifth that of Seattle, 120 miles to the south. Seattle's population is approximately 490,000, whereas Vancouver's is about 43,000.In Seattle, handguns may legally be purchased for self-defense. After a thirty-day waiting period, a permit to carry a handgun as a concealed weapon can be obtained. Recreational uses are minimally restricted. In Vancouver, self-defense is not a legal reason to purchase a handgun. Concealed weapons are not permitted, and recreational weapons may be fired only at a licensed shooting club.Dr. Henry Sloan, chief

investigator for the study, said 388 homicides occurred in Seattle during the study period, while 204 occurred in Vancouver. The number of gun-related deaths in Seattle was 139, compared with 25 for Vancouver, he said. He stopped short of saying his findings prove Seattle's less strict gun-control laws cause more deaths, but said, "It virtually explains it."Note: New gun-control laws went into effect in 1978. Sloan said Vancouver's laws were made stricter in 1978 but didn't change significantly.-Adapted from Associated Press What will be an ideal response?
