If you plot gun-ownership vs. gun deaths, they correlate, Emil Kirkegaard notes, but that includes suicides. If you plot gun-ownership vs. homicides, they don’t. The real question is, Does gun ownership predict homicides taking race into account?
But then again, we know that homicide rate is mostly related to which % of the state is Black. The leftists are trapped. To show that gun ownership causes homicides — how could they not? it’s an effective and easy to use method — they need to control for the confounders. But that would mean doing regressions and seeing that Black% is the main variable, a big no-no.

Overall, though, it does seem like more guns means more homicides in general, net of demographics, and our county-level analyses back this up, just not entirely convincingly so.
Note that obviously non-white wrongdoers are often documented as white in order to throw off official statistics.
The legitimacy of the American regime is drawn from the Constitution accepted by the Founding Fathers in 1789.
Did the Founding Fathers intend to arm Blacks, Mexicans, traffic cops, women, enforcers of divorce “court” orders, SWAT, Israelis, or the institutional progeny of slave patrol against normal white Americans?
The Founding Fathers dueled. Do the American Bar Association, National Judicial College et al. have any right to prohibit normal white Americans from privately settling their differences by ordinary means of volleyed gunfire on stake of life and limb?
