“…but if we rank the states, California’s rate of firearm violence ranks 29th out of 50 states for homicides and 44th for suicide.”"Gun violence" is a completely fabricated term for which there are no accurate statistics since it also includes both homicides and suicides.
Yet that in no way proves that gun laws are effective since they don't actually prevent anyone from getting a gun and we have endless ways to commit suicide without guns.“…but if we rank the states, California’s rate of firearm violence ranks 29th out of 50 states for homicides and 44th for suicide.”
So yeah, if gun violence in general is decreasing, it’s safe to assume gun homicides are. Why would that be hard to believe?

What do you suggest?They are slowly tightening the noose.
And you will do n-o-t-h-i-n-g about it (outside of windbagging and crying.

Off hand, I think it starts with rejecting the propaganda of the silly libtards.What do you suggest?
You've done nothing so far, in spite of your incessant bleating.They are slowly tightening the noose.
And you will do n-o-t-h-i-n-g about it (outside of windbagging and crying.
What do you suggest?
So again, just what do you suggest?Stop whining and do something meaningful
They don't give half a shit about your nonstop crying and diatribes on why you're right
Lol why would preventing people from getting guns 100% be the only standard for evidence for gun control working? That’s just something you made up on the spot. If gun violence is on a downward trend after passing so many gun laws, obviously it’s safe to assume gun control laws work. Again gun violence per capita is lower than the national average. You can pretend that doesn’t matter if you want but it’s stupid lolYet that in no way proves that gun laws are effective since they don't actually prevent anyone from getting a gun and we have endless ways to commit suicide without guns.

Why should I worry? You've done nothing. And you won't. Because your politicians are way too chickenshit to tighten any nooses.
Tell ya what - wake me up the first time you grab a gun
Explain why a city like Chicago that has some of the strictest gun control laws in place anywhere in the country is a shooting gallery, Billy?California is a shining example of success for curbing gun violence with gun control legislation. It doesn’t come from one specific policy - but a combination of several.
“For the last 20, maybe even 25 years — except for the two years of the pandemic, which have increased homicides and suicides across the country — our rates of firearm violence have trended downward,” said Wintemute, who directs the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento. “And this has been at a time when most of the rates in the rest of the country have gone up.”
California’s rate of firearm mortality is among the nation’s lowest, with 8.5 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2020, compared with 13.7 per 100,000 nationally and 14.2 per 100,000 in Texas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported. And Californians are about 25% less likely to die in mass shootings, compared with residents of other states, according to a recent Public Policy Institute of California analysis.
….California has done a lot to prevent high-risk people from purchasing firearms. We’ve broadened the criteria for keeping guns out of the hands of people who pose a danger to themselves or others due to mental illness. If you’re convicted of a violent misdemeanor in California, you can’t have a gun for the next 10 years; that offense has to be a felony in most states….
….We require background checks, and not just from licensed retailers; in most states, purchases from private parties require no background checks or record keeping of any kind. We have a system, that we’re evaluating now, for getting guns back from “prohibited persons” — people who have been convicted of violent crimes or who are facing domestic violence restraining orders. And we enforce these policies, unlike a lot of other states.
California Has America's Toughest Gun Laws, and They Work
The grotesque toll of gun violence is again being debated in Congress. States are not holding their breath. Particularly California: In ways that have tended to be underreported, the state has significantly lowered gun deaths, Dr. Garen J. Wintemute, an emergency room doctor and longtime firearm...www.yahoo.com
Is there actual data to back that up? In order for that even work, Illinois itself would need those laws.Explain why a city like Chicago that has some of the strictest gun control laws in place anywhere in the country is a shooting gallery, Billy?
Tightest gun control laws, 29th in homocides…….hmmmm, you just destroyed the premise of your own thread.“…but if we rank the states, California’s rate of firearm violence ranks 29th out of 50 states for homicides and 44th for suicide.”
