The Heritage Foundation data sources contradict its report that the US city with the 30th highest rate of homicide was 2.4 / 100K. One of their referenced sources- "CHR&R" (footnote 25) - has more than 1K counties with higher homicide rates. Here's that data. Relevant links are in the comments.

But it's illegal and impossible to purchase a handgun across state lines, so that's entirely pointless to bring up.

"Illegal and impossible" glad you believe that every gun purchaser is an upstanding legal citizen and responsible gun owner.
By the way, if you have more of what you're smoking I could use some this weekend when I visit my conservative Trump-supporting in-laws. Thanks!

Yes they have to pass a background check. Responsible - not since people stopped being charged for violating straw purchase laws, the ATF is busy with important things like whether a rifle has a 15.9" or a 16" barrel and shooting women holding babies than stopping crimes with victims.
