Most small towns have close to zero gun crime...it has nothing to do with people owning guns or not.
Where are you from that 25k is a small town? Where I live there is only one city with a population of 3500+ in the county. There are only 9K residents in the whole county.
Proportionately very few of the cities in the US west of the Mississippi are over 25k.
When we talk about going to “the city” (meaning a place with a movie theater and a restaurant) we mean the 45 minute drive to the city with 8k people.
I would never want to live in a place that big – 25K people is a recipe for insanity.

That would be the only real solution to Chicago's gun crime. Short term it would be bloody, but in the big picture fewer would die and the quality of life there would improve dramatically.

More guns in Chicago is not the answer...that is just a pro-gun persons ignorant opinion because they don't understand the situation in Chicago.

Right...black people are the problem.
So if I call you a racist...are you going to cry about it...because you seem pretty damn proud of it.
