I’m 81 haven’t had or never will have a gun for 21years.you can shoot all you want at those ranges but in a moment of danger with the adrenaline surging through your body you might just have a heart attack before anything else . I still walk around Miami , New Orleans , shoot dice in a couple of illegal games in Orlando ( not now sadly because of virus) still no need for a gun I’m from Boston , Massachusetts is one of the hardest states to get a permit and every year is ranked lowest or next to lowest in murders by gun
I've only been able to find one year that MA was rated the lowest, 2015. The charts I've reviewed show the state to be mid pack on firearm homicides. There are other factors that influence firearm homicides and all homicides, income levels, education levels, and the percentage of poverty. To claim gun control is the major factor is bogus.
