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. [OC] by quantuminous
Certain regions within the city are more dangerous for a young black man than if he were serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. Areas like Auburn Gresham, Austin, Garfield Park, etc. are literally warzones with 10x the per capita homicide rate of the city as a whole. It's pretty hand wavy to point at rural counties where the homicide rate can swing a lot by having one more or fewer murder per year when these areas with a similar population to the rural county are dropping 40+ bodies a year in a few block radius.

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

Batteries are cheap, movements are costly. Not worth letting the moisture in.

>every gun purchaser is an upstanding legal citizen
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.
