It would be illustrative to add violent crime rates to that graphic depiction!

By state there really isn't much correlation of higher gun ownership translating to lower violent crimes. Unfortunately.

I thought about that as crime statistics by City are readily found but gun ownership by city is not something I have been able to locate yet.

yeah... my point is that while a state may have a relatively low incidence (statewide)... There can be big cities in those states that are quite high... IL vs Chicago, IL.... CA vs... Los Angeles, CA.

I agree with you on that too. Unfortunately I don't think there are any gun ownership by City list or graphics that could be used to make the case. The closest thing would be tracking crimes with guns before and after constitutional carry or similar events. Everywhere I have heard sheriffs and police chiefs claim that gun crimes would increase the opposite or nothing happened.

My point is that stats and charts like that can be manipulated to advance the underlying agenda.

We can assume legal gun ownership is relatively VERY low in Chicago or Los Angeles or San Francisco or New York City. Yet violent crime is high.

Of course the antis and tyrants will never point that out. Instead they'll cite stats for the whole state of NY or CA and show how it's lower than Oklahoma or Texas (with presumably higher gun ownership rates).
