Was looking for something that discussed that gun crime attributed to permit holders but was that elsewhere?

I'm sorry I thought the sarcasm was implied. My mistake.

This move further emphasizes the need for federal reciprocity legislation, which nearly passed in 2013.

The 2015 Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act was introduced in the Senate earlier this year by Texas Senator John Cornyn and would treat concealed carry permits like driver's licenses, allowing citizens to travel from state-to-state with their permits recognized. As a result, it will be easier for citizens traveling across state lines to avoid being unfairly charged or prosecuted for exercising their Second Amendment rights.
