Yes, and for all the insistence that states with more lax gun laws have lower crime rates (ostensibly because criminals might think twice among an armed populace), those same states also have the highest rates of death and injury by gun, because in states where there are more guns, there are more accidental shootings.

But indeed, lax gun laws play a role in putting guns in the hands of people who should not be armed.
