TBD

That's probably due to the 100% Korean population in Arlington.

Homicides per 100,000 people = #DIV/0!

My place is safer than South Korea.

Why is that? Is it because Koreans live there or because they don't own any guns?

There are plenty of places in the USA where the number is low.

Where I grew up in Louisiana, probably 70 to 90% off all people have guns.  Because they HUNT (maybe the people in your county are hunters, I have no idea, I didnt grow up around here and the only hunters i met around here lived in Westminster).  When hunting season starts, kids skip school in my hometown.   

But there have also been ZERO murders in the town this century…

So, I can play your game.

We can all find numbers to support our ideals.

My hometown supports your guns are ok theory.

The national numbers, however, support my guns are not that great theory.

Oh, any my hometown is also segregated.

So, I suppose no place is Utopia.

I was trying to confirm if this was factual…but in 2011 it definitely was 0 in Arlington
Arlington reports zero homicides in 2011

never knew that James was a vigilante too

"Between the prosecution and the defense, this much is clear: near the Bound Brook train station in March 2011, James Ford fatally shot a fellow Bloods gang member, leaving his body lying against a mound of dirt"

I actually don't think all guns need to be outlawed (for home protection, police officers (but should NOT use them unless absolutely needed), the military, and for hunting). 

But I do feel like we have a serious problem with gun violence in the USA.

What is the solution? 

Who knows?

Everyone seems to be either this or that.

On that note…James is the 5th Monkey

I feel like I'm at the airport and Fox News is on

I don't watch the news, but if I had to, it would definitely NOT be Fox News.

If I'm not mistaken, it's America's highest rated news network. Which just says a whole shit load about our country. I think that's gone on for 12 or 13 years straight as well.

That would explain why he's always throwing feces around here.

this is an interesting retort… please elaborate.  not sure how this is inaccurate.

you mean simply saying something is factually inaccurate is not enough for you?

yes, because doing a drive-by "that's wrong" is meaningless.  how is the statement wrong?

edit: apologies.  my sarcasm meter was off…

Maybe, if, until they got out.

Stop with the whole "criminals wills till get them" BS. 

If that were the case, why don't all of the criminals in South Korea have guns?

They are criminals after all.

No one said ALL criminals would have guns but anyone who had a gun would be a criminal.

I never said you did.  I was pointing out that 'banning' something does not make that thing go away.  If you are not intelligent enough to recognize that fact then there really is no point having this discussion any further.  Enjoy your rose colored glasses.  Next!
