The top ten homicides states are all red. You have to get to the 15th state before you find a blue one (Nevada), and then the 20th state before you find another one (Colorado).
You are the one who has not done his research.
That's NOT what you said
you said that CA has a murder rate equal to the country average all the states with lax gun laws have higher murder rates than the average
you were wrong just admit it
and FYI I never mentioned red or blue states because that is quite irrelevant to the false claim you made
Wow are you ever WRONG
UT is considered to have the most lax gun laws in the country and what's the murder rate in UT?
in 2017 the murder rate of CA was 4.6 per 100000
The murder rate in UT was 2.4 per 100000
NH has had the lowest murder rate in the country at 1 per 100000 in 2017
NH gun laws are far less restrictive than those of CA
You might want to actually do some research before you say shit so you won't sound like such a ******* idiot.
Huh?
States with the most (and least) gun violence. See where your state stacks up.
I used MURDER RATES or can't you read?
List of U.S. states by homicide rate - Wikipedia
Here are the top ten by homicide rate. Look at all that red!
8 out of 10. And even though Nevada is light blue, it has pretty lax gun laws.
and it has NOTHING to do with the gun laws
And unlike you I don't see the world in just red and blue
CA has the strictest gun laws in the nation yet 23 states have lower murder rates even though the gun laws are not as strict as CA
UT has some of the most lax gun laws in the country yet the murder rate in CA is twice as high
NH has the lowest murder rate in the country and gun laws nowhere near as tough as CA
Gun laws do not have anything to do with the murder rate.
If they did CA would have the lowest murder rate in the country and that hasn't ever been true
You know, you just outlined how criminals get guns. Because we don't have a NATIONAL gun law, and states are free to set their own explains the problem perfectly.
People go buy their guns in Utah or Nevada, transport them to California, and sell them on the black market, tripling their money. Now, mind you, the guns were bought LEGALLY in the states with the lax gun laws, and transported where they were sold on the black market in places with strict gun laws.
If you want to see how it works, I recommend watching a documentary from VICE Channel called "The Iron Pipeline". It shows how lots of guns in strict gun law areas end up getting there. Most of the time it's from people who bought guns legally in other states.
