Good , but let us look at the crime states in a different way, if you removed Chicago, Detroit, LA, and Cleveland, the gun crime rate drops by 80% , but these cities have some of the strictest gun laws . Also , you mentioned banning rifles correct? Most gun crimes are committed with handguns, only about .06 % of crimes involve a rifle . I think funding mental health research, funding after school programs and reminding people how important two parent households are , would be the first true steps in ending crime in America - I am going to end my debate here with you, which was very good. but imgflip has a limit on responses. Take care friend and I hope you think about the points I made.
