Regarding the crime rates in big cities: Duh, there is a higher concentration of people in cities VS rural areas, so you'll have a higher concentration of crimes. When you measure per-capita, it equals out. Or maybe better for cities.

Here's the case of the 11 year old kid:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Brown_case

Nowhere does it say that it was illegal for his father to gift him the gun. It's a "youth model" gun. Which means those types of guns don't need to be registered. We're not talking about cork or cap guns, these are real ****************ing guns that use real ************************ ammo.

If you don't think that's ****************ing insane I have nothing to say to you anymore on this matter.

Same of the other anarchist "our government is out to get you" tin foil hat conspiracy theorist that's on this thread.

I have an idea, let's give our children "youth model" cars so they can drive themselves to kindergarten! Or youth model butcher knives, or "youth model" blast-charge nail guns, or "youth model" bottles of rum!

If I was a cartel leader I'd find a poor Russian brass with a big store house of Kalashnikovs because that would be WAAAAAAAAAY cheaper than retail market US guns.

We do have youth model cars... they're called bikes; I rode them to school.

They had youth model cigarettes. But they were made out of what wanted to be gum.

In no way do those compare to youth-model guns, which are ACTUAL guns that use ACTUAL ammo. Obviously the "quotes" in "youth model" went over your head.

Bicycles cover actual ground.

Candy cigarettes come in actual packs of 20.

Its called advertising. Don't get angry at the product; get angry at marketing.

You don't light up candy cigarettes and they have no nicotine. Which is the purpose of real cigarettes.

"youth guns" still kill. Which is the purpose of real guns.

candy cigarettes are more like cap or cork guns. Pretend. Toys.

Seriously, dude, you can't be as dense as you're (hopefully) pretending to be.
