Unintended Consequences?

[Mortblanc]

Yes, you folks get a very sensationalized view of the US.

One of our major statistical jokes is that the highest rates of violent crime are in the urban areas where gun control is the most strict.

I live in an urban area where every household is armed and our crime rate is almost zero.

We claim it is because everyone knows everyone else is armed and therefore minds their manners. In the city where GC is strict there is no fear of self defense and the criminals are bold.

And you folks do not count things we do in both directions. If you guys had to count whining until everyone around you slit their wrists in frustration as a violent crime your murder rates would be higher than ours.

Sorry, but I meant to say that I lived in a rural area, although in my region even the cities are less strict.

My state specifically prevents local governments from passing their own restrictive GC laws just to keep the crime rate down.
