Conservatives are the biggest hypocrites on gun laws. They always push for lighter gun laws in other people's neighborhoods, except tighter gun laws in their own backyards. They then ignore the deterministic effect that poverty has on murder rates. It's the combination of poverty AND guns that produce the high murder rates in the inner cities. For example, they might have loose gun laws in a few rich, white suburbs and still enjoy low crime rates, except those people aren't as likely to be driven into crime as people in poor areas are. Additionally, you have poor white areas with lower crime rates in rural America. However, this ignores the fact that it is the combination of guns AND poverty that produce the high murder rates in the inner city. Ask yourself this: What if the dirt poor hillbillies living in rural, economically depressed farming communities had loose gun laws and access to firearms? Let's put firearms into a large percentage of the homes of poor dirt farmers living in the woods in struggling agricultural communities if loose gun laws are such a great thing...
