>The only states approaching 50% ownership are the Dakotas and West Virginia. Most of America’s guns are represented by gun nuts owning multiple.

I'm not sure why legal gun ownership rates have much bearing on this? If the people using guns for violent crime do not legally own them, why would we care in the about legal gun ownerships rates?

So your claim is that 80% of guns are owned illegally, and these guns account for all crime? They claimed the disproportionate deaths are due to rate of gun ownership. They’re not.

Please quote me when you're attempting to voice my claims. I never claimed that.
