A big source of guns in areas that do have strict gun control in the US is other states. The recent shooting in the NYC subway, for example, was perpetrated by a man from Milwaukee, WI. With no such thing as internal border checks within the US, it would be quite difficult to maintain a two-tier gun control system.

Are you saying you consider Milwaukee rural? Half a million people live there and it's the most populous place in WI.

More meant to illustrate how porous state borders are with guns despite the varying legal regimes en route.

Rural-urban borders are even more porous, if anything. So many roads to cover.
