"The important pair of observations are that gun availability does not correlate with homicides or violent crime, but select cultural attitudes and realities do."

"gun availability does not correlate with homicides or violent crime" = opinion, not supported by facts.
I'm sure culture also plays a role, but that article is factually inaccurate to say that gun ownership and homicide or violent crime are not correlated. Many studies have proven that link does exist. Here is one clear example.

The Relationship Between Gun Ownership and Firearm Homicide Rates in the United States, 1981–2010...
Objectives. We examined the relationship between levels of household firearm ownership, as measured directly and by a proxy—the percentage of suicides committed with a firearm—and age-adjusted firearm homicide rates at the state level. Methods. We conducted a negative binomial regression analysis of panel data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Web-Based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting Systems database on gun ownership...

LTC Kevin B. Yes. Higher guns equals higher GUN violence. Not higher OVERALL violence.

LTC Kevin B. The first and fourth of these actually appear to support your assertion. Those actually look at OVERALL homicides, not just gun homicides as your original post did. They only offer the abstract, I would like to see the actual data. But the abstract appears to support your argument.

What a joke. After clicking on this unsecured blog written by God knows who....we'll call him/her "admin." I'm scrolling through and the author references "this one study" which is a blog entry they wrote two years prior. I'm sure none of this is based off empirical research.

And the blog entry from two years earlier references just one study. What does that study indicate? Try not to laugh as you read this:
-87% of the respondents have owned or carried a gun
-81% of the respondents have been shot or shot at
The only study referenced by either blog actually undermines their own blogs. You can't make up this stuff.
If those blogs had been submitted anywhere for a peer review, they would have been immediately rejected.
