It seems to me you're ALWAYS yelling for more guns.

How about you provide anything to back up what you're saying?

I do think the presence of cities is a huge factor, I agree with you there. NH, VT, and ME are extremely safe places to live, and they have no large cities.

But look at the top 5 most violent states. DC is the worst place to live, but it's not a state, it's just a big urban area. Outside of DC all the most dangerous places have lax gun laws.

Who cares whether I cite homicides versus gun related crimes? The stats at the DOJ back up that a gun is the most frequently used weapon to commit a homicide. (Big surprise)

Prove your believe that lax gun laws stop gun related crimes, if not all crimes. After all carrying a gun will deter any crime right? If most homicides are gun related crimes, the states with lax laws should have noticeably lower crime. And they don't. Across the board there is either no correlation or the case is stronger that the lax gun law states have more crime.
