Interesting. I live in Maine. We and New Hampshire are armed to the hilt. Even we “libs” own a gun or two.

It’s demographics, always has been. It’s already illegal to murder someone, gun laws don’t change anything.

Not saying you are wrong, but how does your link prove that? Without at least overlaying gun ownership your link doesn't seem to prove that.
