Actually it doesn’t, compare states with lax gun laws vs those with strict gun laws and there is no correlation whatsoever. In fact population density is a much great correlation with crime. Time to ban big cities
I could do the homework for you, but I have participated in a lot of gun debates and they go nowhere.
I could post DATA, real data, that clearly shows that countries, like Canada, with stricter gun laws and requirements, have far fewer gun deaths per capita.
I could post DATA, real data, that clearly shows that states that institute stricter requirements to own guns have lower RATES of gun violence and that the largest % of gun violence in those gun tight states are due to purchases made OUT OF STATE from states with relaxed gun purchasing laws.
I have been participating on discussion forums for years, knocking myself silly posting data, charts, statistics, and always the rebuttal has been, BUT....
But the 2nd amendment, But my rights, But no one gonna take my guns (no liberal ever said they would unless you shouldn't have one), but but but.
The unique thing about the U.S. is how easily so many gun owners have bought into whatever the NRA has told them, sort of like Trumpers that way, whatever Trump says (no matter how wrong he is) is believed, no questions asked.
SO, no, I don't intend to go back n forth with you all day long, because I KNOW and YOU KNOW that you are wrong. AND I KNOW now matter what I posted you would have a "but" .......... so I am out of this conversation because a conversation requires both parties to have some common agreement, and we don't.
