craddock 0 #3 September 19, 2006 WTF? What does this article have to do with guns? Mabey Dallas has a lot of jaywalkers or underage drinking. What a poorly written article That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #4 September 19, 2006 HEADLINE FBI says Dallas most dangerous large city in 2005 The large city with the highest crime rate was Dallas, with about one crime reported for every 12 people. Los Angeles ranked eighth, with about one crime for every 26 people. It means.. that If you want to be safe in Dallas..... you need to carry.. sorta like that whole premise that Heinlein came up with... ie Lazarus Long....... an armed society is a polite society. ( if You KNOW that the person you want to attack is armed and not your typical victim..... perhaps you will NOT attack that or any other EASY victim... caue they might b low your fucking head off) And if you have listened to ALL of the gun threads around here... there are some just ITCHIN to do that....unless.......its all just bluster.

craddock 0 #5 September 19, 2006 "HEADLINE FBI says Dallas most dangerous large city in 2005" I am pretty sure the FBI did not say that. QuoteIt means.. that If you want to be safe in Dallas..... you need to carry It means what? I understand the premise quite well and fully support ones right to carry. However I do not see how a city is DANGEROUS based on what could be petty crime for all we know. The article just claims "crime". Then Kallend wants more guns in Dallas. What if all the crime is Jaywalkers? They make no mention of violent crime in Dallas, but if that is the case then I agree with you that it could be better if more people were armed for their own saftey That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue!

craddock 0 #10 September 19, 2006 The amount of crimes commited in Dallas does not make me insafe visiting there unless the crimes are of a violent nature. How do you define "safe"? Do you feel less safe if there are a lot of women arrested for prostitution? Hell Chicago has a high murder rate and I feel perfectly safe down there. Although I do agree that it would be safer with more guns in the hands of the good guys. So all in all I will agree than more guns = less crime here in the states. I don't carry a gun myself but am all for you carrying one if you chose to. I would rather you did in fact. However the article is just plain stupid and should have no meaning on either side of the gun ownership debate. Thanks for wasting my time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"More guns less crime" now do the murder rate for those 10 cities! Watch NYC and Chicago fall! Weirder to me is that across the country (and locally for SF and Oakland) many cities are having record murder counts. Both this year and last year are near historical highs, so it doesn't seem like noise. Whole lot of shootings going on. Beats me why. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
