One of Ms. Cruz's featured points involved Luxembourg. To wit, Ms. Cruz asserted that tiny Luxembourg with admittedly restrictive gun laws fared no better- indeed, worse- than larger Germany with less restrictive gun laws with respect to gun homicides.
Of course, Ms. Cruz advertises herself as a "researcher" which apparently means she has the same credentials as a medical doctor, lawyer, astronaut, or professional jai alai player. Let's look at the facts:
Ms. Cruz used a table from the Kates-Mauser op/ed:
Note Luxembourg. It's key to Ms. Cruz's "research."
As we see the table plainly says Luxembourg has a murder rate of over 9 people per 100,000 people (2002).
But here's where a real, actual, honest to God, semi-sober , not in the bag, totally unfucked-up "researcher" might have done her homework.
The actual murder rate for Luxembourg (2002) was 0.9 not 9.01 as asserted by professional researcher, Jennifer L. Cruz. Which renders her further conclusions about guns, gun control and all matters rather moot -or silly. BTW, Kates and Mauser , in subsequent editions of their op/ed, omitted Luxembourg.
More to follow as Jennifer L. Cruz is simply a goldmine of foolishness.
