This is not a new result. Several such studies have been conducted with
similar findings. The most convincing have been those that correlated
lead levels in persons convicted of crimes compared to those who had
not been. I don't recall the cites, but I do recall the correlation was
fairly high. Some similar studies also examined levels of mercury and other toxic substances. Of course, illegal drugs and their effects also correlated with crime even more. Firearm violence is first and foremost a symptom of drug trafficking and abuse, not of firearm availability. -- Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------- Constitution Society 2900 W Anderson Ln C-200-322, Austin, TX 78757 512/299-5001 www.constitution.org [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
