Diversity is a strength!
The article does a great job describing the elephant in America’s living room.
Imagine if we could just obliterate those neighborhoods in one quick shot. The country would be 42% safer overnight.
Those darn Amish
John Lott is one of the greatest Americans in modern times. He has pretty much single-handedly fought off fake leftist scare tactics with pure facts.
I give him a lot of credit for the spread of concealed carry in the 90-2010’s, and some of the credit for the current permitless carry movement.
America, outside of the blue cities, is “Europe with AR-15’s”
Wrong animal in your metaphor.

I bet if one looked at the laws in these areas, one would see they have some of the strictest laws vs other areas.
The issue is the thugs who infest these areas do all the killing and are not going to follow the law. The general population is too scared to do anything and the cops have been emasculated by the BLM/Soros/Woke folk.
Screw em. I live in the country. Let the gang bangers kill each other. Just another dead statistic. Not worried about them at all because out here, folks know how to shoot to actually hit something.
Here is the one graphic from the FBI UCR (Unified Crime Reporting) database that lays the groundwork for EVERYTHING that follows:
Think about it. Imagine a society where only 100 people live. Think of a plane crash, and 100 people survive in some place cut off from the world.
In that secluded society of 100 survivors, SIX people, identifiable by their sex and the color of their skin, commit nearly HALF the violent crime. The murders. The rapes. Beating people up. Robbing them of their food or belongings. Six people rampaging through this small community. Imagine in a normal world, if you lived in a community and six people commit half the violent crime...what would happen? Likely, those six people would be banished...if they made it out of town. Especially after committing violence against someone who is well known or loved by someone.
What makes this far, FAR more startling is that of the six out of 100 men...it isn't actually all of them. It is only one third of them or TWO people out of that 100 people in that society (according to a study by a very Leftist organization that probably wants that number inflated...so for the sake of balance, let's say it is only ONE out of every six black males who have a felony criminal record.)
To put that in perspective, it could be at the very least, just one black man, or two black men who might be responsible for nearly half the crime.
(Note that I make the assumption that in all of this that there is no easy way to tell which one or two men out of six is really murdering, raping, assaulting, or robbing people in this small society. This is where increasing the volume (going from "6 in 100") to ("600 out of 10,000") makes the point. If you are the police, responding, it isn't "John" as it might be in a 100 person society, it becomes looking for someone who looks like "John". This is a terrible thing for the other five percent woh are trying to support a family, live a law-abiding life. It is that malignant and dangerous one or two percent. That is the sad, sad truth, borne out by the FBI Crime Statistics database. It is unarguable if one accepts those statistics in the graph above as anywhere near the truth.
Well, that explains why I’ve been feeling so safe since moving to a small rural town.
Is there some common demographic and political component to these counties? I think Lott is closing in on the part the media doesn’t want to talk about.
Nuke them from orbit.
“Well, that explains why I’ve been feeling so safe since moving to a small rural town.”
Us too, though the situation isn’t new, it’s been basically this way for decades.
WOO HOO!! Chicago is the murder capital again! #1 with a bullet baby!
My neighborhood of 30,000 is 20% minority (indians and Asians), 20 miles from 1.5 murder per day, blue run Dallas.
We have had 3 Murders in the 23 years I’ve lived here. 2 were husbands killing their wives, one one a Cartel Lawyer FBI informant shot by a Cartel khit squad.
When my kid was 14, EVERY ONE of his friends had an AR-15. When they turned 21, they all got concealed carry permits.
Its DEFINITELY not the guns causing the crime in the blue cities.
For later...
