I love the reply Larry Pratt gave an anti-gunner who persisted in blaming Washington D.C.’s high crime/murder rate on adjacent states which allow “easy access” to firearms. Of course, a similar situation is said to exist vis a vis Mexico v. Texas.
Just as nearby Alexandria Va. has a fraction of D.C.’s murder rate, El Paso Texas is considered one of the USA’s safest cities. Nevertheless, the guns somehow become “evil” once they cross the D.C. city limits or the Mexican border.
“You are looking at the wrong end of the telescope” said Pratt. Touche.
