“...just compare Chicago or D.C. to Alaska or Wyoming...”
Hate to point out a non-sequiter in a cause with which I agree, but I have a duty. Chicago and DC are urban. They are cities. Alaska and Wyoming are sparsely populated states. Naturally you have less crime, because there are less people per square mile, regardless of the gun policy. I used to read New American, until these sorts of leaps in logic got on my nerves. I agree with them, but they are not an effective voice.
