This is the truth. Whites in Chicago have about the same homicide rates as Whites anywhere else in the country, and about the same as in Europe. It’s a cultural problem, and not anything else.
Yes, but the cultural solution may be the same.
I speculated that for just $10,000, a whole bunch of .22LR pistols and ammo could be purchased and distributed in high crime neighborhoods to people who were legally able and willing to arm themselves. Including the engraving that they were not for resale and should be returned to the issuing organization “if found”, so they could quickly be traced to their real owner.
Assuming only one in four homes and apartments were armed this way, it is likely the level of crime would plummet.
Even non-violent street crime would be impacted, because they would never know if someone was drawing a bead on them.
