How does that change the fact that Alaska has one of the highest rates of gun violence in the nation. Gun violence includes people who are shot, but survive due to medical care, and therefore cannot be counted in the murder rate. Once you include all shootings, Alaska is much less safe than Washington DC or Chicago
You will note (or should) that I've not mentioned owning some kind of weapon.
The problem that I have is people carrying them where ever they go. That is absolute nonsense.
Like I previously wrote, there is a time and a place for everything.
People that legally carry with CCWs, rarely have their licenses revoked because they have committed a crime.
We have been photoed, fingerprinted, passed FBI background checks, paid the fees, passed firearm proficiency tests. We have been found 13 times less likely to break the law. We make personal safety our responsibility. In the past 3 years we have grown to over 11 million from 8 million CCW licensees.
It shows how the states with looser gun laws have the most gun violence
It does not attempt to connect the dots son, it arbitrarily scores a state based on their existing gun laws for whatever criteria they consider relevant. For example thy have Montana listed as F, they have one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the country. Despite this they also have one the lowest rates of murder by firearm. Why would give them a F? LOL
Nope, fix the gun problem, and fix the murder problem
Remove the guns from the ghettos and see if the huge murder per capita goes down. No reason to remove guns from the rest of the country that has a low murder per capita. Let's see how successful you can be at removing these illegal guns in the inner cities.
