Surely most of the " murders " in those cities could be put down to just pest control... :?
Rather like the Stabbings in London... Not much of a problem to honest folks.

I know with today's ultra offended populace, it makes me a sexist who objectifies women.......but I just appreciate beauty.

Amen to that :D the only problem I've had with the ladies who shoot is that they have been better at it than me... :lol:

3rd in murders? Hardly. More like 83rd, with a rate of 4.9 per 100,000 population.

Number 1? El Salvador, with a rate of 108.6/100,000.

I am tired of both political extremes in this country lying to make their spurious points. And even more people who swallow those lies whole.

Just for the record St Louis doesn't have anything special in the way of gun laws. Missouri just passed Constitutional Carry and has had licensed concealed carry for 12-15 years before that. St Louis gets a bad reputation partly because it's scored separate from the larger metro area since it's surrounded by St Louis County but is not legally part of the county. Don't get me wrong, the city IS bad, but as a resident of an adjoining county (St Charles) I'm not all that affected by what goes on in the City. We get a couple free baseball ticket a year and that's pretty much the only reason we go there.
