oh lord .... (and I say this as an agnost),

Ok since you really do not seem to understand, let me do you a favour:


Its not about the number of people within the city, but about the density of people, the differences in education, economic welfare (differences between rich and poor), the social situation that determine crime rates.

THIS APPLIES TO EACH CITY IN THE WORLD, whether or not gun control.

>From the city website:

>Kennesaw once again was in the news on May 1, 1982, when the city unanimously passed a law requiring "every head of household to maintain a firearm together with ammunition." After passage of the law, the burglary rate in Kennesaw declined and even today, the City has the lowest crime rate in Cobb County.

I can't believe anyone would be able to draw any conclusion at that. Again you're implying that a conclusion can be drawn out of a piece of advertisements like this.

Flaw1. The crime rate in the whole US declined in the 80's and early 90's. Some experts hint that this might have to do with the abortionrights earlier resulting in less children born and raised in difficult family circumstances.

Flaw2. So the burglary rate has declined... how about gun related crime such as homicides, accidents and suicide? where are the numbers?

Flaw3. What does it tell me it has the lowest crime rate in cobb county? Absolutely nothing. It does not tell me whether is was not that already before the new law and i does not tell me anything about the numbers and trends of other cities whatsoever.

Flaw4. Crime rates < > gun related incidents. Apples and Oranges. I could live in the city with 0% crime, but if lots of people die because of gun related accidents or suicides, does that make right if it involves your kid? Do I have to remind you that a gun in the house is 40 TIMES (!!) more likely to kill friend than foe ?

Flaw5. You cannot project any result of a law to any other city without considering the differences in demographics, income differences, unemployement etc.

Flaw6.The statement does not quantify anything and as such how would it compare to any city in lets say Canada or Europe?


Jake, just like many Gun loving americans, you are not applying logic to the matter..... because you just are not willing to accept the results you may find.
