Smart. Criminals don't pay attention to gun free zones. It only makes them soft targets, and people more vulnerable.

Baltimore has gun free zones that even include some members of law enforcement.

Wonder why Baltimore has 15 times the homicide rate of Wyoming with such strict gun control. While Wyoming is perhaps the most lax state in America when it comes to regulations.

Comparing the entire state of Wyoming with its farflung population of 585,000 with a densely packed major urban area like Baltimore is like comparing oranges with Corgis.

At least your posts are good for a laugh. Carry on.

Federal gun laws are applied to both equally so it is very much a relevant comparison.

I suppose that's one way of admitting gun laws have no impact on crime. When people are piled on top of each other like rats their behavior does tend to degrade.

another doozy from our good friend lovecrowds.

Talking about the murder rate in one of the most sparsely populated states in the country. A quick google search shows that Wyoming has 7 people per square mile. Jesus, that's a barren wasteland.
