Just read that Kennesaw, Georgia is celebrating 25 years, of a law on the books that requires everyone in town, to own a Firearm and know how to use it. Bet the crime rate is real low. LOL Well anyway Congrats to them. Silver is such a nice color.
I have never heard of that happening in a whole town before.
Let me end the debate.
I am from originally a place just twenty minutes from Kenessaw Georgia;
the facts are these;
Ken. Ga has the lowest crime in the US of A.
and,
The gun law is strictly enforced! The local militia makes sure of that!
In my neighboring town crime is also very low, here 95 % of the male population carry concealed! 85% of the women do!
Crime is very low!
Carleton Ga it is also a law that all people who legally can own guns, must!
It has a very low crime there too!
Alpharetta Ga also has low violent crime, just last year( or the year before or something along those lines) they had their first murder in 14 years. Alpharetta people are heavily armed too!
Location: In an illegal immigrant free part of the country.

Where I live everyone has many guns and it is a very safe place to live. I don't own a gun and I'm still thinking about whether I would want one. I think if anyone came in this town to cause trouble they wouldn’t get very far.
I would rather be armed in a violent confrontation than not. Life is too short to risk it on the other guy's good intentions. Also never bring a knife to a gunfight, but always hope the ether guy did.
Yes, that's what I said. But it isn't what WorldNetDaily said. When you claim zero, one is a disproof of that claim. And as readily available as that 'one' is, you have to wonder how and why WND simply overlooked it.
You're right...it would be just a guess. That's what you do when you don't know and so posit the answer that you wish were true.
No, rates went down over the long-term reflecting the cumulative effects of on-going population changes. The point was that when you take a look at something other than the cherry-picked data that show up in the WND and other typical right-wing stories on Kennesaw, what you see is that nothing really happened as the result of the gun ordinance at all. Adopting peanut butter sandwiches as the official town lunch would have had about the same impact.
You know, one of the things that criminals most like to steal is...guns! And having a gun in the home increases your chances of dying from being on the wrong end of a gun by a factor of about four. Nice way to 'protect' yourself, there...
The stats actually say that were 3 murders since 1981, 2 by knife, and the one gun murder were 2 out of town drunk men taking the law as a joke daring to shoot each other, and one of the two idiots did it.!!!!
"not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender."
Here is what WND actually said word for word....
That one person who was killed by a gun was 2 drunk men from out of town taking the gun law as a joke, teasing eachother with their guns, and one got shot..... so WND didn't fabricate the story....problem solved!!!
wow sounds like a town that has a few smart people in it! they arent brainwashed by the guns kill people garbage
Brainwashed by the notion that guns kill people? Do you people realize how ridiculous you sound?
The entire UK averages around 200 deaths from firearm injuries in a given year. There are about 600 murders in NYC alone annually. British police officers don't carry guns, and as a result, most criminals don't carry them as well. I know these figures are just averages, and if you don't believe me please feel free to look up the data for yourself. I know this is only one comparison, and it doesn't really prove anything, but I think it makes a valid point.
Personally I would never own a gun. I definitely believe that gun-related death rates are lower in Kennesaw for now, but so many things could go wrong. What if someone gets angry at a neighbor? It is just that much easier for something seriously bad to happen if they both have guns. People lose their tempers easily and do stupid things. To me it sounds like the entire town is a power keg just waiting for a spark.
