Oddly enough, a majority of both gun owners and non-gun owners agree on some common sense gun control measures. Why won't legislatures pass them?

And these gun control measures seem to work

@ElwoodBlues we can pass all the gun laws you have in mind. My question is who obeys these said laws??? That's right....not criminals. So please feel free to take away more of my so called freedoms. Does matter violence can break out anywhere at anytime and anything is a weapon if you know how to hold it

@Brewboy35 According to your logic there's no point in having any laws at all, LOL!!!

In fact, as the data charts show, stricter gun laws correlate strongly with reduced gun violence. You have presented an argument claiming that correlation shouldn't exist, but the strong correlation still exists.
