I think you are missing the point though. I know that there are many Americans who don't love guns. But the point is that there are enough people who do to make a generalization. New Jersey had over 250 gun homicides in 2011. That's more than the number of gun homicides in the entire country of Canada on almost any single year (whose annual record is usually like 200). All in one state. And you're right--New Jersey is one of the least pro-gun states.

That's a really bad fact. And that's exactly my point. 270 gun homicides in a single state in a given year is seen as "pretty good", when in many countries that would be the worst homicide tragedy in national history when you consider the relative geographic and population size of that one region. But instead, it gets justified. It's pretty good, don't generalize. I'm not generalizing, but clearly there are more gun lovers in one of the best states than in an entire country bordering. That's a problem that is going entirely unaddressed. It's bigger than just the NRA.
