Interesting, Florida ranks 30th in guns per capita. Connecticut (Sandy Hook) is 25th. Colorado (Aurora) 20th. Illinois (Chicago) is 35th, California 40th, and New York is 50th.
Wyoming has 19.2 times more guns per capita than Florida yet only averages 1.4 times more gun related murders. So is the issue the number of guns?

This will never end until America stops seeing the middle class as an ideal, but as a cultureless disease that offers human beings nothing but sterile consumerism. I mean taking away the guns might stop the killing, but that's just a band-aid for the underlying existential nightmare.

Is their middle class particularly happier than ours though? If we gave them guns would they shoot each other? At least the lower classes in this country shoot each other over money and influence. That at least offers a potential tangible gain.

There's 33.6 times more people in Florida than Wyoming, yet Florida only has 1.8 times more guns. Not trying to make a point. Just adding some numbers to the mix that seem to contradict the "more guns = more mass shootings" narrative.
