I don't know if we can equate low crime rates with just high gun ownership, without looking at ALL factors that might contribute to those low crime rates. We have to look at every piece of statistical data. Otherwise, it sounds like propaganda. Plus, in areas where crime rates are higher, those residents tend to victimize one another. They rarely go out of their neighborhoods. People who dwell in the Southside of Chicago and Compton, usually stay there -- Hence the terms, black-on-black crime and brown on brown . . .</p></blockquote><p></p>
