Texas and Florida have a dramatically larger firearm death rate as California. Common sense gun control works.

"In 2005, California’s firearm mortality was much more in line with other large states like Texas and Florida. Since then, California has tightened its gun laws. Florida and Texas have gone the opposite direction.

During that time period, California’s firearm mortality rate dropped, while the rate has increased dramatically in Florida and Texas."

The link wasn't really clear on who is being shot???
Are they talking un-armed victims being shot?
Are they talking about bad guys being shot?
Both?
Of course in a state that it is Okay to shoot bad guys then the number will reflect a larger amount of shootings.
I did see that they claim suicide as a shooting.

@Dainbramadge I always use this website as a reference when somebody talks about mass shootings. It's pretty accurate, up to the most recent day.

Keep in mind, this is just keeping track of what they call mass shootings, which means somebody shooting at multiple people at once. That means that technically, even if I miss every one of my targets, if I'm shooting at multiple people, that's a mass shooting.

@LordShadowfire Damn. That's some pretty play by play info. LOL
Thank you for that link.
Really a shame that nobody is willing to do what really needs to be done and is proven to work in similar situations.

@Dainbramadge I know, right?
