Obama said, "We know that the states with the most gun laws tend to have the fewest gun deaths." Well, he is either wrong, or lying. 15 states with the strictest gun laws: California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Rhode Island, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. Roseburg is in Oregon. Columbine and Aurora shootings both occurred in Colorado. California is home to four of the top 30 "murder capitals." New Jersey is home to the most murderous city in the U.S. and holds three of the top 30 "murder capitals."
