New York and Massachusetts may as well be red. “May issue” means “probably won’t issue”

Man, I keep hearing how gun laws never get more lenient, and that everything is the slipperiest of slopes.

Watching from abroad, we feel sorry for an amazing country that has been taken by extreme ideas, up to the point where gun violence is a leading cause of child mortality!
How do you allow this to happen?
And now is not only guns, political violence, racism and a level of social injustice that will bankrupt half of Americas if they you get seriously sick!

What do you mean by may issue? Either you meet the criteria and get one or not, right?

I thought we were all supposed to die in fiery shootouts if law-abiding people were trusted with weapons. I guess not.

Another place you notice this is in movies and TV shows that are more than, say, 30 years old. I watched an old X Files episode a while ago and a dude pulled a gun and everyone acted like it was so unusual and threatening. It’s hard to describe how unusual it felt, you almost have to watch some old movies yourself. They treated guns as unusual and dangerous in a totally different way.

Fun fact: there is a statistical correlation between the number of children killed with guns in school shootings and gun laws becoming more lenient.
No, I didn’t get that the wrong way around. When children are murdered with guns, state governments decide to loosen regulations.

Texas and Alaska in the 80s is wild.

There is no serious argument for gun control. It never has worked and it never will because disarming good people doesn’t help the problem.

Fun fact: from 1777-2018, Vermont essentially had the least restrictive gun laws on earth.

An awesome trend for civil rights.
Interestingly, overall violent (and other) crime down too.

Thank god gun violence is causally inversely correlated to right to carry and this is driving down violence across the nation! /s
This map shows it well, but Texas got constitutional carry pretty late given their reputation
Wow this really shows how the Democrats are coming to take everyone’s guns.
Hmmm. Let’s ask Mexico and Iran how they feel about being massacred by those who are “allowed” to carry weapons.
