Good grief, stop with the apples to oranges and atleast try and semi-intelligently explain why you think it's not a fair comparison.

Is it the size? Is it the ratio of Black to White in the population? Is it that Michael Moore said so?

You want to know what's apples to oranges? Poverty levels, literacy levels, and the color of the land. What does any of that have to do with crime rates? There are poor, backward ass, country folk in the mountains that are way worse off than some "city" folk, yet they don't go around killing each other on a daily basis. Why is that? There's poorer, dumber, and yet less violent people out there.

Bottomline is pretty clear to me. Gun control at any level does not work, period. I challenge anyone to show a concrete example of how gun control works to help any crime rate anywhere. It doesn't. It is strictly a political strategy that works on the masses that don't use common sense, hence why they buy into it.
