A pro-gun argument pushing back on the idea that more firearms lead to more violence, aimed at gun-rights supporters and against stricter gun laws.

• The claim: places with lots of guns, like Idaho, actually have less crime, not more.
• Idaho is said to rank among the four lowest states in the country for gun killings.
• Cities are blamed for driving up the numbers, with 23 of 27 high-homicide cities described as Democrat-run.
• The point is that looking at whole states versus individual cities changes the story about where gun violence really happens.

Outlook: Expect this framing to keep fueling the gun debate, with both sides picking the numbers that back their position.
