YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.

    It seems like New York goes in the right direction then, nice to see! I bet one sees the difference in the statistics for gun violence compared to other states of America. Umm, is NY a state or a city or both? 😂 not so sure right now

        If you order by “Murder Rate (per 100,000) (2019)”

        Do the states with less murders per 100,000 than New York have more strict gun rules? (In case you happen to know that)

            Everytownresearch.org looks like a really great resource! 😃thank you very much for that. So as it looks like, gun laws aren’t the only thing that influence gun violence. But if you ignore the statistical outliers then you see the correlation.

                Oh dear 😅 you got me here

                I agree, having strong gun law in states around leading to weaker gun violence makes not so much sense. I would guess those states have ether a less dense population or have a historical culture (like an unwritten law in some sort) which prevents gun violence for some extent.

                    I see 😄 I guess that explains a lot

                    So the plan should be to make the Poverty gap smaller as well as having some good gun laws.

                    Hope they’ll do it 🤞🏻
