DC has the strictest laws and has the highest gun homicides, homicides period and gun robberies statistically.
California has the highest number of gun crimes.
On the other end... Alaska has some of the most laws. When's the last time they had an actual school shooting.
Tap'n while driving...
Where's your source? I'm talking per capita, not total gun crimes by the way. Obviously CA would have the most, they have the most people along with a pretty high per 100,000 rate.
We have been raised on a culture of violence, it is in our blood. Why did our country reelect President Bush and Vice President Cheney when they lied their way into killing hundred of thousands of innocent Iraqi's, and it was obvious by November of 2004 they had done just that?
Americans are insular, violent and, as this forum proves, very ignorant people. Massacres like this should really surprise no one.

Odanny I'm beginning to have the opinion it's the rsult of technology. All of these recent killings have been done by young men in their early 20's and that's not a coincidence, this is the insta gratification generation that expects everything a mouse a click away that whines and cries about it when it isn't.. They have grown up in the computer era where life revolves around Facebook, their phone, a video game or even a forum like this. That has become this generations world until they get a cold hard slap of reality from real life when they become adults and some of them can't handle it.
DC has the STRICKEST laws. Number one in 2 categories.
What's left to argue?

LOL. How about the other states right up there. DC is a city. Of course it has a higher rate. To say the gun laws there are ineffective would be correct, but to say that's the reason for it is idiotic.
On the other hand, you have a lot of states with lax gun laws in the top 5.
Also, here is deaths from fire arms per 100,000. This includes accidents, which should be included for obvious reasons.
1. DC
2. Alaska (is it AK? I thought that was Arkansas? )
3. LA
4. WY
5. AZ
=6. NV
=6. MS
8. NM
9. Arkansas
10. AL

All besides DC have lax laws.
There are more people in the DC area then Ak.
But these are deaths, not necessarily homicides.
Question ???
Cigarettes kill millions more than guns. Yet they are not illegal. What makes you think guns will ever be banned? Just curious.
