Jamilah's Syllogism

I'm trying to figure this out here...[Read]

If her major premise is that people with guns result in more murders...

And if the NRA, one of the most heavily-armed citizen populations on the planet, brought tens of thousands of members and supporters into the mix and not a single murder occurred because of them...
