When Will Enough Ever Be Enough? [[2011 Murder Rate)

This. You need only look across the river for an example of what an effective gun control regime can do.

So it's the availability of guns and not the fact that Detroit is 85% African American with more than 50% of the young population living in poverty? [[Compare that to less than 5% black population in Windsor and an overall poverty rate of less than 10%).


A culture of violence permeates America's urban black community, and you only have to look to murder statistics outside of it's urban cores to see that gun ownership rates are not the cause of the extreme violence Detroit is facing. I would venture to say that people in Michigan's U.P are armed at a much higher rate than those in Detroit, yet they average only 4-5 murders per year in the entire U.P compared to Detroit's 400+ [[The UP's population is approximately 1/3 of Detroit's)
