Quoting a comment shown on Instapundit (massively edited):
According to Everytown, the state with the strongest gun laws is CA, and they’ve had 16 mass shootings so far this year according to the Gun Violence Archive data. The state with the highest number of firearms per capita is Wyoming, and they have had 0 mass shootings so far this year. The state with the highest gun-ownership rate is Montana, and they have had 0 mass shootings so far this year. California’s gun-ownership rate of 28% is almost a third of that of Montana, but they have had 16 mass shootings. According to Everytown stats with respect to gun-related violence in Montana and Wyoming, 84% of gun-related deaths are suicides in Montana and 86% in Wyoming. 11% of gun-related deaths are homicides in Montana and 10% in Wyoming. In California, 45% of gun-related deaths are homicides.”
As they say: factor out gangs, Democrat-run cities, and suicides, and US gun deaths drop below Europe's rates. The places where the sickness is worst are the same places with the most gun control. This is laughably obvious to anyone with a brain. It's the people, not the guns.
(Note, again, Wyoming for the win!)
A criminal doesn't care if the weapon of choice is legal or not. All gun laws do is disarm law-abiding citizens and leave them defenseless against the bad guys. And because the left dreams of a "bad guy" government, they know an unarmed populace is the key to making that happen.
