So is the population...
Take out all of our criminal sanctuaries and the US's crime rate is lower!

Take out all of our VICTIM ZONES and it's almost nonexistent!

Glad that I won't waste my life surrounded by fear and paranoia.
Fear and Paranoia is coming from the LEFT the RIGHT has a viable solution that is working and more people than you care to realize by pulling your head out of the Liberal Msm's talking points tell me what to do so I can live my life thousands of people have concealed weapons permits.
And more are getting them everyday obama is still in office.
The only thing is they cannot take them to school which is wrong so I am glad to see these schools being PROACTIVE instead of living in fear of what if's

What it doesn't show is a correlation between guns and murders...US has 2.5 times the murder rate yet 15 TIMES the gun ownership and an INFINITELY bigger supply of guns...so the US citizen is SEVEN times MORE RESPONSIBLE with their guns!

Take away our victim zones/cities and that grows exponentially!

It's when we disarm honest citizens that crime is able to grow and prosper.

We're pretty close to that now and it doesn't seem to be working.
The crucial fact you fail to consider is that the GUN GENIE is OUT of the BOTTLE and is never going back inside. It's a fact, like hurricanes and earthquakes. Bad people will have them. PERIOD.

The only way to combat this is to allow Good people to have them as well. Not as a requuirement, but as an option.

Just as the suspected presence of an unmarked patrol car keeps folks from speeding, the suspected presence of one or more individuals being able to defend themselves and others will deter criminals.
