DC, Maryland and Illinois have tough gun laws, but DC, Chicago and Baltimore all have high homocide rates.

States with tougher gun laws might well be expected to have fewer gun deaths. Take a look at the states with tough gun laws versus those without and you'll probably expect fewer beating deaths, knifing deaths and other murders. That doesn't suggest, however, that people in the tough gun law states refrained from murder because they couldn't procure a gun. Ed
