    Texas gun laws are among most lax in the nation. https://usat.ly/2A9DzPt  #TexasChurchMassacre

        Chicago isn’t even in the top 20 metros for murder. Neighboring metros like Gary with looser gun laws have higher crime rates. Your point?

        It’s not the laws. Guns dont kill people. People kill people. And laws don’t always stop criminals. That’s my point.

        Then explain why every single state with the lowest rates of gun homicide and suicide — CT, MA, HI — has strong gun laws.

        BTW studies show the one group that ISN’T affected by strong gun laws is law abiding ppl. In MA, 97% of ppl who apply for guns get them.

        So quite the contrary of NRA rhetoric, all available data shows gun laws reduce gun crime but don’t affect the law-abiding.

        Plus anything w/o a source I tend to disregard. It's obviously a BS meme.

        No, it doesn't. That is hardly the demographic that leads the way in murder. Would you like me to tell you which group does?

        That's what you've been led to believe because those numbers go unreported and the media doesn't focus on it. I have numbers for you.

        Until that changes, more deaths at the hands of home-grown terrorists will happen. If laws don't change, there is no right to outrage.
