You are not using logic, your useing emotional feelings.  

When a shooting happens, do you liberial run around yelling "THAT GUN IS KILLING PEOPLE"

I have owned more than one gun and not once have they loaded themselves, aimed themselves and discharged themselves with out a person, NEVER!  The rock had to have Abel,  But you lefties don't understand common sense issues.

Bladeslap, it looks like you may not even understand the issue.  Your state has a gun ownership rate of 11%, and a murder rate of 4.3 per 100,000.   My state has a gun ownership rate of 59.4%, with a murder rate of 1.2 per 100,000.  Big difference!!!   WHY!!!!

The number of guns is not the reason, if it was the murder rate would be Reversed.  
NOT GUNS!  

SO WHAT IS IT!  The culture, that maybe it!  But what within the culture is so different.  Could it be most of you are lefties, that have NO MORALS.  Your state has been ran by democrats, mine republicans, is that the major difference.  I think so, I checked, guess what other lefty states also have high crime rates, high murder rates, so the reason comes from the democrats, that the big difference in the states!
