Anyone who actually thinks about gun issues and researches them.....will tell you...guns will not cause law abiding people to commit murder........those who use guns to murder other people are not normal.....actual research shows that those who commit murder are violent criminals with long histories of violence and crime going back to their teens......throw in drugs and alcohol and the myth of the normal gun owner who murders the wife over a burnt dinner or shoots the other guy over a fender bender are just that...a myth........
Wyoming shows this.......
Wyoming: 'More Guns Per Capita Than Any State,' Below Average Gun-Related Murders
CBS News’ Ted Koppel asked, “So what you’re telling me is, people need to be able to take care of themselves?” Steward responded, “Absolutely.”
The high rate of gun ownership in Wyoming–coupled with a correlating below average gun-related murder rate–dovetails with what studies showed as private gun ownership skyrocketed nationally between 1994 and 2009. According to the Congressional Research Service, the 192 million guns in private hands in 1994 swelled to 310 million firearms in 2009. At the same time, the “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide” rate was 6.6 per 100,000 Americans in 1993. Following the exponential growth in the number of guns, that rate fell to 3.6 per 100,000 in 2000. It fell to 3.2 per 100,000 by 2011.
