Run a correlation of gun ownership and high crime zones and the author of this piece would be throughly debunked. There are places in America where every 2nd or third household has at least 1 firearm and the crime rate is virtually nil. That's not to say gun ownership isn't also very high in LA, even though higher legal boundaries exist to it there than elsewhere, but the correlation between crime hot spots and gun registrations is statistical fantasy.

That's not to say gun ownership isn't also very high in LA, even though higher legal boundaries exist to it there than elsewhere, but the correlation between crime hot spots and gun registrations is statistical fantasy.

That's the key. People who want to commit crimes w/ a gun probably don't bother to register it. No amount of laws will keep criminals from owning guns and if criminals know that their prey are unlikely to have a gun with them (because it's illegal thanks to liberal meddling), the criminal knows they are at an advantage and will take advantage.
