Gunfire death rate in Louisiana is highest in nation

[LaAngler]

Notice how they blame the number of guns as the cause, etc.. blah blah blah....ya right....

"The equation is simple," said Kristen Rand, the nonprofit's legislative director. "More guns lead to more gun death, but limiting exposure to guns saves lives."

The Violence Policy Center concluded that Louisiana is among states with "lax gun laws," meaning states that add little or nothing to federal firearm restrictions, and that permit open or concealed carrying of guns in public.

Louisiana and Mississippi require no permit for the purchase of handguns or rifles, according to a synopsis by the National Rifle Association, which rejects the notion that stricter gun laws reduce violence crime.
