From Bearing Arms we get some statistics. Everytown Head Tries to Spin Away Decline in Public Mass Shootings
Math is hard, especially when the numbers don't tell the story that you want them to tell.
There is a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth on the part of the gun control group, Everytown. If you are interested, click thru. As far as I'm concerned, it's the same old song and dance.
While [Everytown for Gun Safety president Nick] Suplina credits the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and unnamed "improvements to state laws", he ignores the additional states that have adopted permitless carry over the past few years and seen their crime rates decline dramatically. In Alabama, for instance, homicides in Birmingham have dropped by 42% this year, despite Mayor Randall Woodfin's claim that the state's permitless carry law led to an historic increase in murders in 2024.
That is one city.
Louisiana also adopted permitless carry in 2024, and homicides in New Orleans have dropped 21% compared to the same time period in 2024. Other cities in permitless carry states that have seen double-digit decreases in their homicide rates include St. Louis (down 43.9%), Dallas (down 34%), Louisville (down 33%), Phoenix (down 33%), and Memphis (down 12.5%). According to the anti-gunners, these cities should be in the midst of skyrocketing murder rates, but we're seeing the opposite instead.
