The statistics are readily available. The "good guy with a gun" is just one of many myths imagined by gun advocates to justify their fear of a problem that they help perpetuate.

"He wants that state to be the most violent and backwards place in the union. Texas won't be outdone tho, they're gunning(don't ask me how) for the number 1 spot.
