Because of niggers, not guns. Get out of the inner cities, and there is virtually no gun crime
unless they count suicide. Go to wrong parts of Chicago, though. Yeah - it's not going to be a fun vacation. Even if you don't run into any actual gang/gun violence, you'll see the effects of it everywhere. Last time I was up there, even in the "decent" lower-class neighborhoods on the outskirts of Schaumburg had bullet proof glass with bullet impact damage in most convenience stores.
Out where I am though, everyone has a gun. Often even a few that they're probably not supposed to have, and gun crime is practically zero. What few black people we have, I would not classify as niggers. They just want to go to work, support their families, and be left the fuck alone like everyone else. Though the next decent sized small town up from us might be getting culturally enriched soon. Seeing a lot more ghetto niggers walking around causing trouble. Pretty sure there's some kind of program either funded by the government or NGOs to move city niggers into peaceful neighborhoods for the sake of tanking the local housing market. You can tell the difference between the local black population and the city nigger new arrivals from a mile away - from the way they dress, and talk, and carry themselves is entirely different. Almost as clearly as looking at their skin color.
