Washington D.C. used to have the most stringent gun laws in the US, luckily the courts struck down that law. The murder rate since the ban has risen 134% whilst the nations murder rate fell 2%. When the ban ended the amount of violent crime decreased. At the same time Virginia Beach had the lowest crime, one of the lowest, murder rates when they had less stringent gun laws.
NYC, everyone loves that place, until they get mugged. In 1960 only 19% of all murders involved usage of a gun, after they restricted handguns the number jumped too 49%. There are only 28,000 legally owned handguns in the city, and 1.3 million illegal ones. Meaning people where obtaining them illegally regardless of the law, meaning gun control fails.
In maryland 1986 small cheap weapons, saturday night specials, was made to lower the amount of murder involving a small quarel then driving over to the nearest gun dealer. In 2 years murder rose 20%. Its murder rate was 33% higher then the rest of the nations.
New Hampshire has little gun control, and little crime.
Vermont has the lowest gun control (higher number the better) and rankes 47th in murder, and 49/50 for all crimes.
States that passed ccw laws murder dropped 8.5%
Guns do make it easier for bad things to happen, but they also make it easier to deter criminals and defend oneself. Guns deter more crime then they cause. Gun control is doing the opposite of what it is supposed to do.
