Trying to turn correlation of shootings to gun laws of the immediate area to causation is misleading.

The Chicago and Kennesaw comparison was just off the top of my head. The trends do follow at the city, state, and country level per capita. Just people who are anti gun will see it their way and find "loopholes" in my beliefs and visa versa. As somebody else stated that all mass murder shootings but one have happened in gun buffer zones (backing up my previous statement) so why would we expland our gun buffer zone(s)? It just does not make sense to me. Criminals will always get firearms, it might be harder but they will still do it. Then good people will be left hung out to dry.
