My ACME Catalogue Bullshit Detector is going nuts with this article.
States with “strong” gun violence prevention laws were defined as those that add significant state regulation that is absent from federal law, such as restricting access to particularly hazardous and deadly types of firearms (for example, assault weapons), setting minimum safety standards for firearms and/or requiring a permit to purchase a firearm, and restricting the open and concealed carrying of firearms in public.
Well, well, VPC. Looks like you have this exactly ass backwards. And what the hell is a "rate of gun ownership?" Have you gone through every cabinet, cupboard, and gun safe in every state? I don't know what an "assault weapon" is, but I'm hell of a lot safer with my AR than without it. Further, how would you know if my Sig is under my jacket?
Pound sand, idiots.
