Murder rates for specific ethnicities in the US as compared to specific ethnicities in the Old World are quite meaningful.

All American ethnic groups are less violent than their counterparts abroad!

Guess what Chicago has that Vermont doesn't?

A bumper crop of criminals.

, the draconian measures -- which lasted more than three decades -- didn't had the desired effect.

Reporters always make the same assumption about what the "desired effect" of someting like this is. I think they are mostly wrong. I think it is the principle that a country or a districts subjects should not have the effrontery of being armed. It is disrespectful of the Rulers. Criminals being armed is not really seen as much of a problem. The crime rate and armed criminals accomplishes the desired purpose of keeping the regular folks off balance and depending on the rulers for protection. That increases the rulers' power over their subjects.

Amusingly, this is a devastating thing to point out to the left if they insist that guns are the problem. Point out that because guns *can’t* be the problem, because there are many places with far more guns and much less gun violence, the problem *must* be that the *people* who live in gun control areas are more prone to violence and murder.

So they don’t need gun control, but to control their own people. Figure out what people are causing the gun violence and homicides, lock them up and throw away the key.

And we all know who those people are, don’t we?

This argument would make liberals gnash their teeth.

If black people are eliminated from the killers and the victims, America’s homicide rate approaches that of Europe.
