Comment on US and UK murder – rate and weapon by Chazz

Coming from TX no more means you are able to use a gun responsibly than coming from innr city New York. For example TX has a firearms death rate of 11 per hundred thousand of population and New York has a firearm death rate less than half of that at 5.1 per 100k
NJ has even less at 4.9 per 100k Alaska has a gun death rate of 20 per 100k of population.
DC is the only place in the USA that has tight gun laws, but also has a high (the highest at 31.2 per 100k) of firearm deaths. It is however, surrounded by states that have very lax gun control laws. Again I will provide the evidence to support what I am saying, you can find it at statemaster dot com.
