(17,502 posts)there is almost perfect correlation between violent crime and wealth inequality. That is true even down to the county and zip code level and has been well established criminologists and evolutionary psychologists. That is also why part of a city will be very safe while ten blocks over will be an urban Mad Max.
Identity politics is the domain of the far left and far right.
The consensus among criminologists is that there is no correlation between guns and crime. Any other view is denying science. Also, if we have more guns than anyone else, how come our murder rate isn't even in the top 100? Norway, Iceland, Canada, and Switzerland all have high gun ownership rates. It's easier to legally own a gun in any of those countries than in NYC or New Jersey, and we all know how safe Camden and Newark is. If you count the illegal guns, according to InterPol estimates, France has more guns than people.
