I love the way people like to separate murders and gun murders.
Facts:
Amsterdam, where our lovely gun hating Battus lives, has a higher murder rate than any other similar sized city in the US except Washington DC.
Speaking of Washington DC, they have some of the most restrictive laws against guns. Ooops! Seems the cities with the highest murder rates in the US have the most restrictive gun laws. Cities with the most relaxed gun laws have the lowest murder rates.
In GA, a town called Kennesaw passed a law several years ago where everyone was required by law to own a gun. ALL CRIMES, including murders, dropped and have not risen.
It makes sense that the fewer guns you have, the fewer gun murders you're going to have. But dead is dead. Compare apples and apples if you're going to look at murder rates.
