States like New York, Illinois and California have some of the strictest gun laws in the United States. Alongside this commonality, they also align in some of the highest homicidal rates in the nation.

What does this teach us about gun control? Let’s break it down.

The video below has already garnered 1.7 million views after NYPD investigators released surveillance footage from a smoke shop in Harlem, showing what appeared to be a minor dispute, turning into a cold-blooded killing.

WARNING: The footage shared in the tweet below contains graphic material and may not be suitable for everyone.

This tragic event happened Sunday evening inside a Lenox Avenue smoke shop in Harlem. The man in the black jacket is seen pulling out a gun and shooting the victim in the head. According to authorities, the man was taken to NYC Health and Hospitals/Harlem where he was pronounced dead.

So, what does this teach us about gun control if situations like this keep happening in cities where strict laws are already in place?

The constant argument from the left suggests that stricter gun laws mean less shootings- the problem is, they haven’t.

Homicides remain at a record high in these cities, further solidifying the right’s argument that stricter gun laws only limit law-abiding citizens from defending themselves, legally.

Criminals are already obtaining firearms illegally. What’s our guess? In making it more difficult for Americans to arm themselves, it only makes it easier for criminals to kill and steal from them.
