The raw data actually paints another picture entirely. As other posts here have hinted at, the incidence of gun violence in America is not evenly close to being evenly distributed geographically across the country. If you were to compare (legal) gun ownership and gun crime statistics between America's urban areas versus everywhere else you'd see the opposite picture emerge. It's not people in backwater towns with a shed full of guns responsible for America's gun crime problem. It's gang members in the large cities.
