> the most gun crimes occur in Democrat-run gun-grabber areas The most full stop, yes. But that's not surprising, is it? Since densely populated places disproportionately vote blue. But not the most per capita: https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/116676/documents/... https://www.forbes.com/sites/ariannajohnson/2023/04/28/red-s... | |||||||||||||||||

I haven't read that but "gun death rate" is not the same as "gun crime rate"... Of course I expect guns to be used more in areas where they are available. Many legitimate self-defense cases are imperfect as well, and technically count as crime for BS reasons. Gun suicide rates probably would be higher with more guns owned by the public. In summary, I don't think you are right and I would still support broad gun ownership rights even if you were correct about per capita. I am more worried about the public not having guns than having guns. | |||||||||||||||||
