When reading the article on the shootings that precipitated the Governor's order, I did think to myself, "This sounds like an average Wednesday in Chicago "
Cook County, Illinois's estimated 2023 population is 5,299,802
New Mexico is the fifth largest by area of the fifty states, but with just over 2.1 million residents
Just by population, Cook County would have 2.5x the number of shootings, but you need to factor in that the people in New Mexico are so spread out that most of them have nobody within shootin distance
