You do not need a license to buy or own a car.So let’s take driving for example.
Actually cars ARE inert. Until someone starts them up.A firearm is inert until someone pulls the trigger. I have rifles that are 200 years old that have never hurt a fly.
Cars, on the other hand, are not inert. They are mobile objects, and, based on accident data, far more dangerous than firearms. Under 120 million cars kill 30,000 per year. 300 million plus, firearms murder under 10,000. The rest of the gun deaths are suicides.
Idiots love to claim that taking guns away will prevent suicides but real world data proves that to be untrue.
True. Let’s apply that to guns then. I could go along with that.You do not need a license to buy or own a car.
You can have 50 convictions for vehicular homicide and own as many cars as you want.
You can keep them all on your property, and can use them at will, on private property.
All w/o a license.
So much for your example.
That doesn’t account for the other states in the top tier.Yeah, 60% are suicides. That's why the gun death rate is so high in Alaska. Winter is depressing. Look at Scandanavian suicide rates, even higher.
WITH GUN CONTROL.
Actually there is something there. In suicides, women attempt it more often, but men succeed more often. Men are much more likely to use a gun and gun is pretty good at killing. If you could limit access to a weapon doing a vulnerable moment, it might prevent that suicide.A firearm is inert until someone pulls the trigger.

You’re as much a liar as the OP.That is the most common reason given by the progressive left for gun bans.
Don't be even more stupid than you provably are.

Does requiring a car driving licence stop you from owning a car and driving it on the road? No, because, you pass a test, buy a car, it comes with a log book (registration papers) and you drive on the road according to some rules. In the UK, each year, the car has an MOT to make sure it's road worthy. Does this stop criminals using a car? No. Do they have access to one if needed? Yes.
Do car nuts protest that it's against their rights to own a car with such regulation? Do these regulations stop accidents and deaths? Nope, but it reduces them, hence why we all have them.
Gun nuts and guns - GET OFF MY GUNS.
So you regulate cars (no one is banning cars) and everyone is fine. Mention gun regulation to
a gun nut American - GET OFF MY GUNS IT'S MY GOD GIVEN FUCKING RIGHTS
But hey, I can't fix stoopid.
About the same size and population as Colorado.There are 350 million people in the United States. There are 5 million in New Zealand.
There were over twice the amount of gun deaths in Colorado, 845 in one year (2019) than NZ had in 6 years.There are 350 million people in the United States. There are 5 million in New Zealand.
Good, get all the crazies one one area.and people are moving from cali to texas in droves
Our laws act in two ways: pro-active (as in reducing the factors that might lead crime or loss of life), reactive (punitive, punishing tbe actual crime)…right?
As such for any crime we layers of rules and laws designed to prevent it and layers of rules and laws designed to enforce consequences once a crime is committed OR an accidental loss of life or injury occurs that may not be a crime.
So let’s take driving for example. On the preventive side we have:
Age limits
License
A test of skill and knowledge in order to get a license.
A vision exam
All that before can even legally drive.
Then, there are laws that govern the vehicle which the driver needs to follow:
Regular safety inspections
Requiring insurance
working head and tail lights
And more yet for the driver:
seatbelts and car seats
no texting and driving
no driving while impaired
Setting speed limits
All of the above on the preventive side, and applies to all drivers good or bad.
Once something has happened, other laws takes effect.
Are good drivers being punished?
Yeah, 60% are suicides. That's why the gun death rate is so high in Alaska. Winter is depressing. Look at Scandanavian suicide rates, even higher.
WITH GUN CONTROL.
If you look at gun deaths, the state with the highest number is Alaska 23). The state with the lowest is MA (3.4).
If you look at the map at this link most of the states with high gun deaths are not progressive states but deep red.

YES, they do, the tribal police.Also, they don't have enough police....remote Indian villages have no police officers so when something happens, it can take hours for police to get to the scene.....
YES, they do, the tribal police.
And yes, sometimes it takes awhile to get there.

Moron, can't read your own comment?Moron...
There are at least 75 Native American Alaskan villages that don't have any law enforcement, reports The Washington Post. Isolated by long distances and difficult terrain, those residents must report crimes and wait for Alaska State Troopers to arrive in the village after hours of traveling.

“Unfortunately, there are places in rural Alaska that if a woman is raped or a child is beaten, that victim might not get any help whatsoever,” Associate Attorney General Tony West told The Washington Post. “It can take a day and a half before responders show up to the scene of a crime or to a call for help. Imagine if you were a victim of violence and you can’t get help because weather conditions don’t allow you to get out of your village. Where are you supposed to go? You have nowhere to go.”
Alaska Is A Terrifying Place To Be The Victim Of A Crime
Although Alaska has high crime and rape rates, many of its isolated communities don't have police forces.
Good to see tyou do not mind convicted felons having firearms.True. Let’s apply that to guns then. I could go along with that.
So do you want a complete ban, with people given a chance to turn in their weapons, and the government inspecting each house to ensure compliance?Actually there is something there. In suicides, women attempt it more often, but men succeed more often. Men are much more likely to use a gun and gun is pretty good at killing. If you could limit access to a weapon doing a vulnerable moment, it might prevent that suicide.
You can’t automatically assume their lower gun violence rate is due to their gun control laws. There are other factors. Less poverty, smaller cities, more homogeneous demographics. Correlation of two pieces of data doesn’t automatically mean causation.350 in SIX YEARS?
Shows gun control is working
We get that on a weekend
