Somehow, smaller cities with “different demographics” can have a much, MUCH higher gun ownership rate and have little if any “gun violence”.
I wonder what’s different about Chicago?
Chicago has a huge problem with youth gangs. And these gangs are full of ghetto culture attitudes. Such as settling all slights, real and imagined, with violence.
Yes, the demographics of various cities, unfortunately, seem to be a strong predictor of what sorts of problems those cities have.
There does NOT seem to be a connection between strict guns laws in various cities, and their gun violence rates. If anything, some places such as Chicago have an inverse relationship of those factors.
