POST#1 States “...New York has the highest violent crime rate of any state in the area and has the most restrictive gun ownership laws”….

It is common knowledge, or at least the information is easily accessible from reputable recognized sources to prove or refute many of the claims presented as FACT on this board.



In the area means what?
The FBI’s annual Uniform Crime Reports has broadly categorized it’s report by States, Geographic Divisions and Regions.

Most restrictive gun ownership laws means what?
Do you know of, and if so can you provide a link to another measure, in addition to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence RATINGS of State gun laws (to stop gun trafficking) that can be used to compare “restrictions of gun ownership laws?” http://www.bradycampaign.org/stategunlaws/



Using those sites;
New York state does not have the highest violent crime rate of any state in the area.
New York state does not have the most restrictive gun ownership laws.
