Half the violent crime is committed by blacks.
Quality of life is inversely proportional to population density.
“it is hard to overlook the fact that so much of the country has both very high gun ownership rates and no murders.”
This.
He’s talking half the counties here.
sort of true. Murder rates per population is a bit different than just the raw data.

I find it interesting that according to the latest Telegraph, a majority of the states with the most murders are in the south of the US except for Texas. And we all know what happens to murderers in Texas. So maybe the aspect of a noose is a better deterrent than the US liberal media is willing to admit.

“68 percent of the murders occurred in only 5 percent of counties.”
And .... do these 5% have anything in common?
Any correlation between the murder rate and whether a county is politically red or blue?
So even in the worst 2%, the murder rate is barely above average. A county with 10,000,000 people has more murders that a county with 10,000? Thank you Captain Obvious. The statistics in this article mean nothing until they are adjusted for population, e.g. x murders per 100,000. Even in violent cities, the murders tend to be concentrated into the worst neighborhoods. Most of LA, NY and Chicago are safe. Stay out of the ghettos and red-light districts and the murder rate is similar to flyover country.
