And more cars = more car accidents and more multi-story homes = more people falling down the stairs. As a society, we're concerned with overall safety and reducing overall violence and crime metrics.

While an interesting metric, a sample size of 3 (states) seems insanely low to draw cause between guns carry == safety. There has to be more meaningful ways to glean that data, no?

May as well tie it into most popular music if we're using sample sizes that small.

I wasn't making the argument that more people carrying == safety. I was countering the argument that more people carrying inherently means less safety.

But the argument you responded to was that more guns were related to more gun deaths. You might as well have countered any tangential "argument".
