re: #308 Political Atheist
Perhaps we should review the gun death stats that were not in human hands at the time. The re read the FBI Gang Threat assessment.
The best start to reducing violence (guns or not) is start by getting after the most violent people, particularly those violent people who use guns.
Gun murders per 100,000 persons 10-19 years of age:
1. New Orleans…………………………………………………….25.6
2. Kansas City………………………………………………………11.3
3. Memphis………………………………………………………….10.7
4. St. Louis…………………………………………………………..10.6
5. San Francisco…………………………………………………….9.9
6. Detroit………………………………………………………………..9.5
7. Chicago……………………………………………………………..7.9
8. Philadelphia………………………………………………………..7.5
9. Jacksonville………………………………………………………..7.1
10. Los Angeles……………………………………………………..6.7
