Just a thought, but I would bet that Tombstone, AZ in 1881 (the year of the OK Corral gunfight) had a lower murder rate than Chicago, IL in 2012. AND a lower murder by firearm rate.

In Tombstone, four men get killed in one day in a notoriously tough town and it creates a legend that survives to this day, some 130 years later

Four people get murdered in Chicago and it’s a slow Monday evening

I seem to remember that Tombstone had a “check your firearms” kind of policy put in place by Wyatt. Anyone know if this is correct? Lower population, lower murder rate. Plus not a whole lot of ebt card holders then either.
