I bet the rate in my neighborhood is way lower.

Is it because way less people in my neighborhood own guns?
I dont know.  YOu say "I bet" without providing any numbers or links to back it up.

Anyways, why don't we go back to discussing Foo Fighters shows?

Also, future warfare will be almost 100% conducted by drones.

Hmmm good question.

I live in Fairfax County.
Population 1.13 million
2013 homicides:8
Homicides per 100,000 people=~0.7
And I bet there's quite a few ex-military good old boys in Fairfax County who own guns. As well as Muslims.

Oh, and the Foo Fighters still suck.

You say your place is safer than South Korea?  Korea's rate was 0.06.

Your county's rate is 0.7.

Your county is more dangerous than South Korea in regards to gun violence.

I live in Arlington. 
Population 225,000
2013 homicides: 0
Homicides per 100,000 people = #DIV/0!

My place is safer than South Korea.

What I am saying is that my county is significantly below the national average (like 7% of the national average) with likely an average number of gun owners compared to nationally. How do you explain that?

There are plenty of places in the USA where the number is low.

That's probably due to the 100% Korean population in Arlington.

Why is that? Is it because Koreans live there or because they don't own any guns?

Where I grew up in Louisiana, probably 70 to 90% off all people have guns.  Because they HUNT (maybe the people in your county are hunters, I have no idea, I didnt grow up around here and the only hunters i met around here lived in Westminster).  When hunting season starts, kids skip school in my hometown.   

But there have also been ZERO murders in the town this century...

So, I can play your game.

We can all find numbers to support our ideals.

My hometown supports your guns are ok theory.

The national numbers, however, support my guns are not that great theory.

Oh, any my hometown is also segregated.

So, I suppose no place is Utopia.

I was trying to confirm if this was factual...but in 2011 it definitely was 0 in Arlington
Arlington reports zero homicides in 2011
