Gunman kills at least 20, injures 42 in Florida gay club shooting.

[SlowwHand]

it aint a densely populated city waging a drug war

how does Chicago and Washington DC impede the flow of guns when they're plentiful just outside the city or county limits?

Houston is, I think, the 4th largest city.
D/FW is hardly small, nor is San Antonio.

Comparing cities to states is the objection.

If you compare Texas to Illinois, you'll find Texas has more gun murders than Illinois (per capita).

Texas isn't as rural as you think. Most people live in the huge cities. Austin has a very high population density. So does Dallas.

Um... idaho, ND, Utah

[Ben Kenobi]

Harris county has homicide rates at a full third less than Cook

Did you miss this, Berz?

[Ben Kenobi]

So this is your admission you've been getting liquored up in gay clubs for the last 20 years? And the comment wasn't about you. We know where you'd be in a shooting situation.

Try me. Have had my license since I was 15.

The fact that you thump your hollow cave chest over that proves the point. We're not talking paper targets or plinking aluminum cans in the boonies of bum****istan, or small defenseless animals. You go, girl, strap on something else for a change and we'll wait for the news article of the he-man hero who saves the day.

The homicide rate has been declining since the 90's. Probably the best explanation is differences between generations. The millennials commit less murder and use less drugs Berz.

Also gun ownership is at an all time high, thanks to Obama and the rest of the gun control dip****s, but homicides are nothing compared to what they were in the early 90's.

That's because the crack epidemic came to an end in the early 90's.

Um... idaho, ND, Utah

according to my first link those 3 are in the top 25 in gun deaths along with most other red states

the red states have higher homicide rates and more guns with fewer controls, the blue left wing states have a better record

Proves what point? That I've been a hunter for a long time and that I'm reasonably familiar with a shotgun? That you mock "defenseless birds" tells me pretty much everything I needed to know about you being a city slicker.

Crack etc. All drug use causes homicide.
