Don't blame the tools
There are so many misconceptions to the Gun Control Debate. But, one interesting one is how studies measure the idea that states with loose gun laws have higher rates of gun violence. First, there is the suicide fact that around 2/3 are suicides. But, probably more interestingly is that studies that make this claim count guns sold legally (which there are going to be more of in loose gun laws states no matter what) but not legally and have to include guns sold in that state that were used in crimes else where.
