Illinois is 7th from the bottom with all the shootings going on in Chicago every week?

Florida 35.3%
Delaware 34.4%
Maryland 30.2%
California 28.3%
Illinois 27.8%
Connecticut 23.6%
New York 19.9%
Hawaii 14.9%
Rhode Island 14.8%
New Jersey 14.7%
Massachusetts 14.7%

Suspect that this list, reversed, would be the states with the highest crime rates...

Legal guns .

Like all gun stats, this only names legals.
Illegals probably add another 25%.

I find it hard to believe that only 28% of people in Illinois are gun owners, but what do I know, the Illinois State Police are supposed to keep those records away from politicians. How can an accurate determination be made if those records are confidential? Something tells me that they’re not.
