I get that, criminals don't abide by gun laws. There have been no credible scientific studies showing a causal link between gun laws and crime rates.
I'm wondering how Bloomberg or whomever Newsome got his 37% stat from manipulated the facts to come up with that figure. Maybe they flat out made it up.
Of course the gun death rate includes suicide which makes up over half the figure- gun suicides could have fallen while gun homicides stayed the same. Also, if non-gun homicides increased, the overall murder rate may not have had the same decline as the gun death rate.
It's hard to find up to date relevant data to make an apples to apples comparison to fact check these clowns.
