Most armed state Wyoming reported less homicides in 2018 than a one square mile area of St. Louis (illegal, Missouri)

I love Wyoming. If there is a gad then Wyoming would be evidence of god's existence. The people are friendly, good neighbor mentality. I lived a third of my life there, no regrets.
The air is clean, wild life is abundant, and crime is very low. Crime like taxes in Wyoming is very low and reasonable. I can certainly think of worse places to live and St. Louis is one of them. So is Illinois, CA, Detroit, NY and Texas.

Wasn't the OP comparing an entire state to a city?

OP also created another thread comparing UT and WY to Oakland. I actually pointed out on that thread that NYC has a lower crime rate than Cheyenne, WY, and you guessed it no response from the OP on that one.

If I lived in East St Louis , Detroit, Baltimore, ect.... I would.

Who would want to move to St Louis ?

Oakland Black or African American: 24.31%

So, basically oppress a race into poverty and as they start to recover and have more poverty related woes you blame it on them for their race?

That's some really screwed up logic.

What do you have next? Maybe blame Native Americans for having large patches of tribal land in the west relative to the east?

Honestly, have you never heard of making sure you are comparing apples to apples????

Haha, you beat me to it ! Wild horses and coyotes don't shoot too many people, and pretty much, that is all you have in Wyoming.

But gun lovers look for any shred of a statistic they can to make owning an arsenal logical.

The only point is: we need to send more people to live in Wy.

Way to few people/ sq. mile.

In fact lets send more people to whatever place the OP wishes to compare.

Gangs are the dominate force as it relates to retail sales of recreational drugs and rely on density of population.

More people= more sales.

St Louis Metro population- 2.8 million

State of Wyoming population- 578,000

Ultra-liberal Massachusetts, which is the 2nd most gun-unfriendly state, also has a lower murder rate than Wyoming.

I had a friend who lived in WY and she said it was kinda like the old west around there. People looked out for each other and had their own brand of justice. She told me once when a local was known to be beating up his wife, the men in the town got together and roughed him up good making him think twice about ever doing that again. And the cops turned a blind eye.
