Big Surprise! States With Loose Gun Laws Have Higher Rates Of Gun Violence

The States and Their Gun Laws
The Center For American Progress (CAP) has commissioned a study that shows what anyone paying attention knows: gun laws prevent gun violence. Yes, the CAP is left leaning, but that's one thing about lefties - they care about facts.
What they found:
"While many factors contribute to the rates of gun violence in any state, our research clearly demonstrates a significant correlation between the strength of a state’s gun laws and the prevalence of gun violence in the state. Across the key indicators of gun violence that we analyzed, the 10 states with the weakest gun laws collectively have a level of gun violence that is more than twice as high—104 percent higher—than the 10 states with the strongest gun laws."
If only the people living in the red and orange states cared about facts.
