Anyway, are there Freepers out there that can look at this and give us feedback. I will continue looking for Nevada gun laws.
I think they are comparing state murder rates. Chicago is a city.
Suicides are included in those stats most of the time, as are criminals shot by the police. The higher number of gun deaths per 100,000 doesn’t necessarily mean people are shooting each other left and right.
Notice they jump from “bleak murder numbers” to “gun related deaths” in the next sentence.
Problem here is Clark County (Las Vegas). The rest of Nevada has next to no violent crime. Also, with the exception of Clark and Washoe Counties, Nevada has no people.
I understand it is State the are talking about. But Chicago is part of Illinois. Are they saying that the murder rate is so high in Nevada, it outsrips Illinois?

Suicide deaths are ranked #8 and many of those will be with a firearm.
Smells like BS and more Fake News. Some libs playing with numbers to manufacture the answer they want.
I’m sure organized crime has nothing to do with their bleak murder rate. Obviously too much freedom is the issue.
I’m sure they are referring to per capita numbers. Chicago may win on totals, but many locales have higher per capita #s.
Then again, Prostitution and Gambling are known as motives for murder too.
i stopped looking at Nevada gun laws when i read they do not recognize my Colorado CHP.
Just returned from Front Sight near Pahrump, NV after attending a 4-Day Defensive Handgun class with daughter...
We were there when the Las Vegas incident occurred, along with several hundred other heavily armed and ammo-ed up fellow students and instructors...
I can’t imagine a safer place to be, and never heard so much as a discouraging word...Open carry around Pahrump, and free access to ammo in mass quantities doesn’t seen to turn the locals into homicidal maniacs that I noticed...Very polite, friendly folks in Nye County...
Clark County, not so much...
It’s the nut behind the bolt, not the gun...
