I guess the painstaking work of searching for stats...

Simple notes:
1- There are other countries in the world and other gun policies. The US has a far liberal gun policy than any other Western country. This is the result. -->http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/03/americas/us-gun-statistics/index.html
2- The US is not just Chicago and Texas. Here are the stats.
This one shows mortality-->https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm.htm
This one shows gun ownership-->https://qz.com/437015/mapped-the-us-states-with-the-most-gun-owners-and-most-gun-deaths/
3- Gun violence is not just about the policy. There are other factors affecting the numbers. In Texas, death penalty risk is far serious than any other state. The organized crime problem are much more serious in some states.
4- This expression "more guns in Texas, but safer" is not rational, because it is not about the number of guns in a state; it is about the rate of gun ownership.

You may or may not have Facebook but Avi Yemini makes some interesting points in this video...Perhaps not exactly in the same vain as what you're talking about but interesting nonetheless. https://www.facebook.com/OzraeliAvi/videos/750650041726138/

It is a lot to talk about what he says. One important point: The most of the mass shootings in last decade were committed in public areas that guns are not allowed. Orlando 2016 was in a bar. No "good man" could take a gun with him to the bar and stop that massacre. Virginia Tech 2007 was a campus shooting. No "good guy" is allowed to take a gun to the class. Sandy Hook Elementary shooting was obviously unstoppable. The last one in Las Vegas was also unstoppable because no "good guy" in the area could respond the shooting from that distance with an ordinary gun. Only a professional with a sniper gun could finish him before he could kill more people than a suicide bomber could do in a bazaar in Iraq. So, how could we stop these shootings?
