So if guns are as easy as purchasing candy, and unfortunately they are, it does not matter if we are talking about Chicago or Norman Oklahoma, the more guns available, the more guns used, the more opportunity for injury and death.
Then you’re going to have a tough time explaining why gun homicide has dropped 49% in the last 30 years. If ease of access and a flooded market were proximate causes, you’d expect gun crime to increase at or about the same rate as gun ownership. It doesn’t, so they aren’t.

I love crap like this. If you want to talk about gun homicide deaths dropping by 49% that still would not change that we are averaging 100 deaths per day. Way to aim low.
