Not really. Lumping gun violence statistics together or lumping gun violence statistics together is still just.... lumping gun violence statistics together. Citing Chicago as a failure of gun control based off one set of numbers isn’t any better than saying gun violence happens more often by lumping in self inflicted gun violence.
On the Chicago example we agree. Laws that can be ignored by driving an hour to a less restrictive state aren't really going to have much impact. I suppose I should refer you to my post above and reiterate that my real issue is with how much of the media picks up these "statistics" from Everytown, or like minded organizations, and runs with them as fact. I think it's fair to say that most of the media would land on the anti-gun side of the ledger with only Fox being a major news outlet on the other side. How much have you seen about the Gonzalez girl vs. the student who's pro 2A? Hell, CNN just called the JROTC kid a liar when the kid claimed they wouldn't let him ask his own question and instead gave him a scripted question.
