Yeah. After all, the 1934 law was so effective in reducing gang violence. In 1930, when machine guns were legal, the homicide rate in Chicago was 14.6 per 100,000 population; by 2000, with machine guns illegal, the rate had dropped to 22.1 per 100,00 population.

Thank you I was hoping some smart individual was going to find the statistic that put Chicago on the list in post 30.

Tied with Dominica it seems.
