Well, that's obviously because the neighboring states and counties don't have the same laws and supply weapons to the inner city conflicts. The gun control works, it just needs to be universal to see results. We're also going to need more money to study the cause of this violence. Then we'll need more money to provide "opportunity" to these poor misled youth who feel that violence is the answer. Then we'll need some money to make the inner city more "green" to improve the quality of life of these poor victims of the corporate gun culture.



Did I get the anti gun argument right?

Close - you didn't sound quite self-righteous and smug-enough about it. Work on it!

Even though I hate when anti-rights groups use the argument that Chicago is a contaminated sample because places outside Chicago have fewer gun laws, I'm willing to argue that states like Texas are abnormalities when it comes to gun laws graphed against gun murder rate (although it sickens me that 2 non-gun murders can be considered better than 1 gun murder by some people) because the only states which exhibit this relationship are literally fighting the drug war because of the countries they border. Is the Texan gun murder rate higher than Mexico's and the liberal media have just forgotten to use that tidbit after they spent all that time digging for facts? Looks to me that the high density crime (and incredibly strict gun laws) of Mexico diffuses into the lower density crime of Texas. You know, like logically; the further you get from the source the lower the rate.

But in the Chicago experiment I'm supposed to believe that source of Chicago's crime is the relative peace (and fewer gun restrictions) of the surrounding counties and results from the low density crime diffusing INTO the high density crime? I'd be more worried that Chicago was ruining my nearby property value than my nearby property was causing the property value in Chicago to go down.
