(57,640 posts)designed to obfuscate. Obviously it doesn't hold up to scrutiny, as the numbers I outlined provide clear and convincing evidence for. Quite obviously your NRA deterministic argument doesn't hold water. If the factor were a gun ban, areas furthest from the border and furthest away from access to gun would have higher homicide rates rather than lower ones.
Mexico is a failed state because of the drug war. US guns make that war horrifically deadly. To ignore that in favor of gun evangelization is entirely illogical and and obvious attempt to distort the record for craven ideological purposes.
You need to quit justifying the unjustifiable. More guns do NOT ever make a safer society. They always lead to more deaths. Just admit that you have determined that the right to bear arms is more important to you than the death toll. At least that would be an honest way to deal with the issue rather than manipulating statistics in ways that any child can see are dishonest. Just because the NRA feeds you numbers doesn't mean they are accurate. In fact, you can count of the fact they are false.
