Apparently not so. Although making less restrictive gun-laws in other state might have different results.

The conclusion is that Its not the guns, its the people the determining factor in crime rate

Basically yes. Comparing violent crime rate per capita to gun control rank, there's effectively no correlation between the two. Societal factors are probably the biggest indicators.

Chicago Mayor Lightfoot: "The problem is all the guns coming from Indiana where they're easier to get."

Chicago Tribune Reporter 45Doll: "Well if guns are the problem and much easier to get in Indiana, why isn't all the shooting going on over there?"

Later that day...

Chicago Tribune Editor: "45Doll... you're fired!"

 

 

Get ready for it. There is probably already a Manchurian candidate on the way to Maine to do a mass shooting.
