% are meaningful. 12K in Boston is literally nothing. Politicians wipe their a** with that.Nor is it particularly meaningful.
Middlefield population: 385. Savoy: 645. “There are more gun owners in Brookline than people in Middlefield and Savoy combined.” Who cares?
Number of licenses by %.
Boston: 12,302
Amherst: 634
Brookline: 801
Cambridge: 1,307.
If that 12K became 100K, now you are talking.
When a politician thinks "will I get f*cked if I vote for this" - it is clear that anyone elected by people from Boston is pretty safe when it comes to 2A.
