Its hard to give much credence to an article that starts with dishonesty before it really gets going.

Alaska has the highest rate of gun violence in the US, for instance, and does not require background checks for handguns, but more than 80% of incidents are suicides, according to the CDC.

Federal law mandates a background check at retail, for EVERY firearms transaction, so while Alaska itself 'does not require' the federal government does.

Everytown and LCPGV are deliberately misleading people, and they know they're doing it.

Everytown conceded limits to its study, most notably due to the federal ban on gun research ...

There is no ban on research. More dishonesty from everytown.

I'm shocked.
