If you look at the more dangerous cities (NYC, Chicago, LA) you invariably find that they have the most onerous gun laws.  Look at the states with the most relaxed gun ownership/carry laws, and you find crime is going down.  Possible exception to this is Phoenix, AZ, but that's due to the illegal immigration problem that the Feds don't want to do anything about.

Offered by Crusader who feels "reason" is becoming a lost element in modern discussions. ::)

Explain New Orleans then. (I have my own, demographically related theories on that )
