Well well well! Kind of blows gun control theory now doesn't it. Then compare it to Chicago and their gun laws and crime.
CONCORD, N.H. —As the debate over gun control rages in Washington and across the country, a look at New Hampshire's laws shows that the state has a mostly hands-off approach.
The "AR" does not stand for "assault rifle." It is the initials of the company that first made the gun.
To some, the AR-15 looks like a military assault weapon, but the National Shooting Sports Foundation calls it a civilian sporting rifle popular with hunters.
Gun Crime In New Hampshire Is Well Below National Average
According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program, New Hampshire's rate of violent crime in 2011 was 188 per 100,000 people, the third-lowest in the country, behind Maine And Vermont. Only Hawaii had a lower murder rate than the Granite State's 1.3 per 100,000.

Oh yes, that theory is blown to hell because of a teensy little state with a population scattered around the mountains and no cities larger than the average metropolitan 4-block area.
Are we still going on about gun control? Geez, don't you guys have anything else to talk about? No, guess not, the news cycle must be slow again. We need another tsunami, that way we can all talk about how we can go about banning them from existence
Oh yes, that theory is blown to hell because of a teensy little state with a population scattered around the mountains and no cities larger than the average metropolitan 4-block area.
Damn. How could we all have missed that?
All those guns should have turned everyone into crazy kids ring lunatics according to you and ellemint. It is amazing that it can be so peaceful in NH or the many other states with little gun control.

yep, goes to show from what you said that most crime including gun crime happens in urban areas that are more likely to be democratic and have more gun control laws than cities that have less gun control.

As usual, you missed the point.
Half the people in that state can't even see their neighbors' houses, let alone organize gangs or crime of any kind.
That tends to keep the gun crime rate down.
Gun crimes of other kinds still happen just like anywhere else. Of course you're not interested in those, because it doesn't fit your agenda.
So yes, NH is a great place to be if you're worried about gang violence. Otherwise, not so much. Guns are the weapon of choice when you decide to kill someone!

So how do you explain the fact that Hawaii, which is ultra-liberal and mostly urban and has strict gun control laws, is even safer than New Hampshire is?

Guns are the weapon of choice when you need to protect yourself or your family.

A woman in Elm City, N.C. was home sick from work when she heard a banging at her back door. The noise turned out to be a pair of home invaders who forced their way inside as the woman fled to retrieve a gun and hide in a closet. Eventually the burglars made it to the room where the homeowner was hiding, and when they opened the door, the woman fired at them, striking one and causing both to flee. Neighbor Wayne Crumpler spotted the home invaders after hearing one of the criminals screaming for help in the street.

Right-to-Carry permit holder saves woman from vicious beating, WITI, Milwaukee, Wis. 03/12/13, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee, Wis. 03/13/13
Charlie Blackmore Jr. was driving home from work at 4 a.m. through West Allis, Wis. when he noticed a man beating a woman who was lying on the ground, who according to Blackmore suffered a “big laceration by her eye” and what looked like a broken nose. Blackmore, a Marine Corps veteran and Right-to-Carry permit holder, immediately pulled over, exited the vehicle, and ordered the man to halt the attack. The attacker complied, but then moved towards Blackmore, at which point the veteran drew a 9mm pistol. Recalling the moment for local media, Blackmore stated, “I mean I’ve already made it up in mind that if he came at me I was going to have to take him down and I told him that. I warned him multiple times not to come towards me because he was a big guy and I wasn’t playing around and he didn’t seem like he was playing around.” The criminal then began to walk away, with Blackmore following him as he called the police on his cell phone. A short time later police arrived and captured the criminal. Following the incident, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. had kind words for Blackmore and reaffirmed his recent support for armed self-defense, noting, “I want to get to a day when acts like this are viewed as a citizen doing their civic duty. Criminals have got to be reassessing things right now. They have to be asking themselves if it is worth it anymore, might they face resistance or be shot? That’s a good thing.”
Aside from the fact that you're completely off topic, do explain to me the need for multiple guns, which seems to be the standard here on CD. Or at least to hear you manly men bragging about it. How many guns does it take to kill an intruder?
