I do believe over the last few weeks the NRA has helped expose the fact that Chicago is the most crime-ridden place in America ...and this while having the most stringent gun laws.
Social conservatives need to step in and point out that in 1910, the US had about 100 million people, 80 percent were poor (small farmers, factory workers),20 percent cannot read, only 6 percent graduate from High School, women and nonwhites were not treated equal, no gun regulations or limits on what you can own, yet the entire number of murders for the year was 230 (Chicago alone has over 500 murders). What did the Americans of 1912 have that with little or no gun regulations, less education and material wealth that prevented them from killing each other like we do today. According to liberal thinking such an armed, poor, less educated society should not be peaceful, yet it is more peaceful compared to our more advanced and materially better off society. Social libertarians need to ponder on this as well as Dems.
