In countries where regular policemen don't use guns they solve things by not shooting people.

When the public fear their government it is called tyranny. When the government fears the public it is called liberty.

hahahahah oh the irony!!!! distric of columbia Nº 1 hahahahaha guess what CCW IS BANNED IN COLUMBIA! that statistic proes me right

[Ishmael G]

where did I suggest that chicago was a city I said: compare Austin Texas with Chicago, (or any city with CCW). To solve the density problem, look at the gun deaths PER CAPITA! if you do so, you'll see that criminals tend to operate in cities where guns are banned because that way they are 100% sure that law abbiding citizens dont stand a chance of fighting back, there is nothing more dangerous to a criminal than a trained armed citizen scared to death trying to defend his loved ones

[David Robinson]

Gun murders per capita by state - google it.

[David Robinson]

you do know chicago is a densely populated city, not a state?

[David Robinson]

Just seen your page comments. You're obviously a troll and therefore anything that spews out of your head is automatically narcissistic, ignorant and wrong. Have a nice day.

[Ishmael G]

what? were do those statistics come from? did you make that statistic up? they certainly dont come for the US government because according to the NBS Chicago is the murder capital of the US.

yep that's right it's very eassy to transport a gun, just as eassy as transporting it from Mexico to Texas... and that's the way gangs get their guns and criminals get their guns ^^

[David Robinson]

Oh i get it. You don't understand what philosophy is.

[David Robinson]

I don't get the emphasis on state comparison mainly because transporting guns state to state is easy as driving a car into another state. But since we're talking statistics, Illinois' gun murder rate per 100,000 people is surpassed by 21 other states with higher gun murders including Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and every state with low levels of gun control/high ownership. Coincidence?
