I'm not fully prepared to defend this stance, since I'm not sure what he means
either. However, it might be a reference to the body of evidence that suggests
that _everywhere_ that guns become more accesible and free, the armed and
violent crime rates drop.
So he might be saying that the fact that these inferior (to the second) laws
that make guns difficult to just have around all the time, increase the general
level of violence in society.
