And which has one of the highest violent gun death rates in the country[
Ahhh but it is. You claim that you can prevent violent people from committing crimes by disarming the regular civilian population. How exactly is that supposed to work?
Actually no. Pro gunners in the US claim that being armed to the teeth keeps your crime down. Stats clearly show that the US has more homicides that other Western Countries (note I say western - compared to third-world countries, it's a paradise). You would think with such a proliferation of guns your country would be one of the least violent first-world countries. It's not. So it's clearly not the guns...
Do you know how big america is, its population ? Its as big as Australia and it's population is not centered on the coast, it's a melting pool of all the immigrants around the world.
Contrary to what you think I never in 51 years seen anyone carry a side arm, except for the occasional cop, Guns are not around as much as you think they are.
Guess you've never been to Montana where open carry is legal, and damn near every pickup truck has a gun rack with at least one rifle in the back.
The cities with the strictest gun control laws...Chicago, D.C., Baltimore.......
Yeah..............and gun runners go to places like GA, AL, TX and other places where the gun laws are lax, take them to Chicago, D.C., Baltimore, etc, and triple their money.
There are no checks on the borders between states, which is why it's so easy to transport weapons from a place where they're easy to buy to a place where the gun laws are strict.
Federalize the gun laws and you could take care of that.
