And they are not safe because they have guns. They are safe because although they are paranoid right wing gun nuts, they are also law abiding people.
No. They live in an area with other paranoid gun nuts. But they are law abiding people. That's why there is less crime. My dog poops in one place in the yard therefor it will rain tomorrow. Same logic.
Yet statistically all the cities with strict gun control laws have high violent crime rates, and all the cities with high law abiding citizen gun ownership rates have low crime rates. It appears that you failed basic logic in school. Let me guess - environmental science major.
Because the areas with many paranoid gun nut white southerners are low crime areas. You can't seem to get this through your head and instead mindlessly repeat propaganda.
Actually many of the low crime cities are outside the South. Maybe it is time to ask why cities with high gun ownership rates are low crime areas. Being low crime doesn't just magically occur... there is a reason. The reason being that high gun ownership rates by law abiding citizens scares away criminals.
Not necessarily. There are any number of different variables at play that distinguish those areas, apart from gun ownership rates. You're just waterboarding selective stats to concur with a version of "reality" that you favor.
