I know Chicago isn't number 1 in murder rate, but they still have a huge gun problem that wasn't solved by gun control They're also, as I mentioned, surrounded on all sides by areas with far looser gun laws and have no effective border with those areas, so yeah, that's going to have an effect. But there is less of a gun problem in those areas that don't have as strict of gun control No, there isn't. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/27/states-with-strict-gun-laws-have-fewer-firearms-deaths-heres-how-your-state-stacks-up.html http://fortune.com/2018/03/20/gun-laws-gun-crimes-state-gun-regulations/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/02/21/states-most-and-least-gun-violence-see-where-your-state-stacks-up/359395002/ States with fewer gun laws consistently have higher rates of gun deaths than those with tighter gun controls. Alaska, Alabama, and Louisiana are three of the most gun-friendly states in the country and they also have the highest rates of firearms deaths. Not far behind are Mississippi, Oklahoma, Missouri, Montana, and South Carolina, all of which have few restrictions on gun ownership. The states with the lowest levels of gun violence? Maine, New York, Hawaii, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, all of which have much stricter gun laws. This is exactly why it's important to look at trends and not just shout out "B-but, Chicago!" whenever gun violence is brought up. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster.
