Weak gun laws correlate with higher US gun violence

Evidence

Because of high demand and lax gun laws, the United States is the largest importing market worldwide for civilian guns (Kramer, 2012). It has the most heavily armed citizenry and the highest rates of gun homicides, gun suicides, and accidental shootings of children in households. The states with the weakest gun laws have the highest rates of gun violence (Beauchamp, 2013). — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1338
