A study conducted by FOX News Digital shows higher gun ownership “[does] not correlate with more gun murders.”
FOX News Digital compiled data from FBI stats on 2019 and reported “many states with higher percentages of gun ownership had lower or similar murder and gun murder rates to states with strict gun control.”
The findings showed, “Montana and Wyoming came in the top spots for states with the highest percentages of gun ownership, with more than 66% of households with at least one firearm. However, the states also saw murder and gun murder rates similar to states with strict gun laws.”
FOX News Digital compared Montana with Massachusetts, a state “which tied with New Jersey for lowest gun ownership in the country,” and found that Massachusetts murder rate was similar to Montana despite Montana’s higher rate of gun ownership.

John Lott has well documented that entities with easy access to CCW have lower crime rates.
Duh! John Lott published that well-researched conclusion decades ago. Where have these nimrods been hiding?
They seldom stray from this in their never ending assault on guns:

I do not understand any of this. What are they trying to actually say?
They mean states and cities with restrictive gun laws have more shootings.
Melanin.
It’s crazy.
It’s almost as if, gun’s don’t kill, people do.
A smart A.I. would figure out that the way to reduce murders is to reduce people.
When blacks moved up from the south to the urban areas and populated urban areas where the work was that’s when gun restrictions started happening.
Can it be that the roots of Gun control in America are racist?
Ooopsie,
Truth slips out.
Correlation is not causation. It might be something else. But what?
On Tucker’ show last night he spoke of Brazil’s new laws permitting firearm ownership resulted in a dramatic decrease in crime. It was a good segment!
Yes, and I was making the same case by citing the inverse.
The dirty little secret is that the metro area of the ten major crime centers, all heavily black and Mexican, all in blue states account for almost all murders. But for them, America would have the per capital murder rate of Switzerland.
But for them, the Black vote would be low and the Progressives would be in serious trouble
I think we saw that. But who knows.
“..But who knows...”
Apparently the Brazilians know. It is a matter of record. And an impressive one at that, something like 34% decrease in crime once the people were allowed to buy and keep firearms.
Yep, gun control is racist since it’s primarily aimed (no pun) at whites.
The hard data nobody wants to unpack is that high gun crime is driven by blacks, period. Gun laws and firearm ownership % have ZERO to do with it. States with high % of black people have elevated gun crime, states without significant numbers of blacks have low % of gun crime. The math doesn’t lie.
