Do gun policies save lives? Do gun policies save lives? Lack of research means we just don't know I'm presuming that Rand discounted biased studies. Not. Quote: As the debate over guns rages, a study out Friday underlined one key fact: There is little research in recent years to show whether gun policies can stem the bloodshed. The RAND Corp., an influential think tank, created a research initiative called Gun Policy in America to provide a factual basis for the debate about gun policies to determine which work and which don’t. But in reviewing available research, RAND found a lack of studies that documented laws reducing violence rather than just coinciding with the results. A review of thousands of studies yielded 62 with causal results about gun policies, only two-thirds of them in the last 15 years.
