I’ve got a lot of issues with the story.
It rates regions with the northeast being least violent with the south being most violent (and includes the fact that there are lots of guns in the south) However, there are a lot of guns in the west and midwest but they didn’t mention them.
Very weak attempt to tie legal gun ownership to high crime rates.
Imagine a city where the law-abiding are prohibited from all gun ownership.
100% safe, right?
(Washington, DC. No crime at all...)
Southern states - Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, (Maryland), South Carolina and Alabama - have the highest percentage of black Americans that (politically incorrectly) skew the statistics.
Maine, Vermont, Idaho and Montana have the lowest.
