How could this be?

Democarps tell me that their gun control measures always fail because of the states next to them have all the guns and criminals go next door to get them.

But the Virgin Islands... are islands. Surrounded by water, not other states.

Hmm. This is a mystery. Are the homocides done with bricks? Maybe a sock filled with loose change? What is going on here?

As I recall, 80% of the homicides are committed with firearms.

Legal restrictions on guns are good at stopping people from legally owning guns. They have little or no effect on preventing criminals from accessing guns.

People who are willing to commit murder are a tiny percentage of a population. Thus, only a tiny number of illegally owned guns are sufficient to meet the criminal demand.

A knowledgeable source who lived in the Virgin Islands for several years told me it is the most corrupt jurisdiction in the United States.
