How come there are no massacres in the states with gun control?

The three states (actually, jurisdictions) in the US with the strongest gun laws are California, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia. In recent memory, there have been no major massacres in any of those states. All the massacres seem to be in states with weak gun laws, such as Columbine High in Colorado, Virginia Tech in Virginia, and now Fort Hood in Texas.How come there are no massacres in the states with gun control?
California is in ****! Its a lost state, they want our help!





And it wasnt someone that went nuts b/c we dont have strict laws, he was upset and planned to do this b/c he was a wuss who didnt want to hurt his ';people'; in iraq. He had no balls to stand up for a country that gave him a medical degree, in a country where he borrowed freedom and stole lives.How come there are no massacres in the states with gun control?
Perhaps there hasn't been a recent massacre in California and DC, but they certainly have their share of murders involving guns! And I recall last year a guy in California walked in an opened fire at a Christmas party killing some people.





As far as Fort Hood, that is a Military base and many of the soldiers are issued guns. That doesn't mean they carry them all the time, usually just when they are deployed, but I can't think of a place with more gun control then a Military base! When my husband was in the Military and we lived on base, it wasn't even allowed to have a gun in your base housing if it was registered.





These people that commit these crimes are crazy @sses. They would have got their hands on a gun one way or another.
Maybe not massacres... but tons more homicide. Baltimore has super strong gun control and is, as far as I know, still crime capital of the United States. Don't even get me started on new jersey. And have you ever actually been to DC. Spend a week in Southeast DC, you probably won't come back.
Yet more people are killed by guns in those states and D.C. You look only for the massacre. Look for the total killed and it will be higher in those areas, higher crime rates also.





Kinda like a plane crash a lot of people are killed all at once so it makes the news but a fatal car crash every 30 minutes no one pays attention.
Interesting take on the subject....





Why then does California have a 72.2% Per Capita gun crime and Texas has 64.8% Colorado is 58.3 and Virginia is at 64.8





Alaska has virtually zero gun control laws and their gun crime statistics are 45.9








Your assertions don't add up when compared to the facts.
im not a redneck and you can just give up cuz even if you stupid mother ******* wanna give up your rights im not letting you take mine with them so i don't give a **** what kind of laws get passed im keeping my guns all 5 of them and there is not shyt you can do about it as for you question it is completely retarded look at the murder rate of the three places you just mentioned cali haha ever heard of compton they got a higher body count than any mass shooting new jersey yeah great place to live and district of columbia don't get me started on the crime there you gotta be out your ****** mind
You know, how many gang related shootings get reported?





Probably never because the media focuses on celebrities.





To the media inner city kids are roaches.





It's sad but that's reality.








To kill this thesis, you must look at the places of highest crime, so what if you can't let people get guns legally. People will get them illegally. Look at the inner cities of California. Where I am from. It's dangerous. I'm not walking around down town LA at night.
You really think gun control works because you have a bad memory? I remember last year a man in California dressed in a Santa Claus suit killed ten people including himself. All gun control did was prevent any of the victims from defending themselves.
There's a whole bunch of states left without massacres there skippy. Many of which have very lenient gun laws. As for California, New Jersey and the District of Columbia. Lets talk violent crime stats.
That's anecdotal. Massacres are a rare event, trying to infer anything by looking at a few cases isn't very convincing. It's also data mining. Why look at just massacres? Why not look at all gun crime.
Wackos will find ways to kill regardless of state laws. McVeigh could just have easily blown up a federal building in California.
Just like a lib, try to blane a gun for the nut that is doing the killing. What if he used a pipe bomb? Would you want to outlaw pipe? Planes were used on 9/11 why don't we outlaw them?
Pretty sure the hypothesis you're trying to promote, is completely invalid. Too many co-factors and extraneous factors exist.


The gun laws are a moot point here.
Actually, those states have the strongest laws protecting gun rights, not the weakest.
Maybe not but even adding the number of ';massacres'; those states mention still have a higher rate of gun crimes...
all the massacres are where the nuts show up.should we ban cars,highway accidents kill more people than guns! what the fk! typical liberal stupidity......
It's BECAUSE THEY DON'T GIVE US NATIONAL ID CARDS! Hurrrr. I luv me some amabO! WE NEED A NATIONAL ID CARD SO PEOPLE CAN BUY GUNS! HURRR.


Two words: The Constitution


You're not banning guns get over it.
this is the most weak argument for high gun control ive ever heard. do some real research please.
Massacres are a random event. It has nothing to do with politics.
Drunken hillbillies often go beserk.
Good ol' boys just gotta shoot someone, now and then....
