I worked in Detroit for many years. I would tell people that the murder rate in Detroit was about 25 times that of Northern Ireland at the peak of the troubles there. People didn't believe me. They saw media stories about killing etc in Northern Ireland and positive developments in Detroit.

However, the murder rate in Detroit was several hundred times higher than most of the other cities in Michigan.

Violent crime in America is limited to certain areas. The vast majority of Americans are honest and law abiding. People who want gun control and other government control ignore the fact that most Americans are not violent.

Chicago has had about 450 children shot so far this year. Chicago has extremely strict gun control probably similar if not stricter than Britain.

No one in government proposes any solutions other than more bureaucracy and more government control of honest law abiding citizens. No one in authority proposes actually cracking down on actual violent criminals.

‘The vast majority of Americans are honest and law abiding’

I agree. Please dont think I am saying or think Americans are all violent savages.

Seriously, virtually ALL of the violent crime in America is commited by Democrats, and against Democrats.

The Democrat party, though, claims that only by disarming the Republicans will they be safe.
