Maybe if that town canceled their gun law crime would go higher? Maybe. Maybe their better crime rate is nothing more than an overall drop in crime in the past twenty years? Is the town safer now because it has fire arms? Maybe. But it's not as safe as my town, and in the mean time I don't have to be worried about all of my neighbors packing heat.
I explained why. There are many similar towns with the same gun regulations and yet very different crime rates. Its because towns and communities living there are different. There are MANY more reasons for crime rates other than this one thing. So your town is safer not necessary because of that particular thing. And THAT town is more crime prone also not necessary because of that particular law.
