Everytownresearch.org looks like a really great resource! 😃thank you very much for that. So as it looks like, gun laws aren’t the only thing that influence gun violence. But if you ignore the statistical outliers then you see the correlation.
Oh dear 😅 you got me here
I agree, having strong gun law in states around leading to weaker gun violence makes not so much sense. I would guess those states have ether a less dense population or have a historical culture (like an unwritten law in some sort) which prevents gun violence for some extent.
I see 😄 I guess that explains a lot
So the plan should be to make the Poverty gap smaller as well as having some good gun laws.
Hope they’ll do it 🤞🏻
