No it's not, because, again, who, not where. We don't need a chart to know it's happening in the ghettos at a much, much higher rate. It's on the news, in the papers, near every day.

xoB, what is the "it"

I think murders is the thing we really care about.
UT says "it" is gun murders only in the "ghetto"
I have been saying all along "it" is all gun deaths in the US.

W. T. F?!

This DEFINITELY qualifies for Weird News:

Thousands in China witness a mirage of a floating city in the sky

And there is video, 16 whole seconds of video:



It was a Fata Morgana.

I hope you paid attention to the newscaster (?). There's gonna be quiz later.

that was fun.

I feel like I've seen that with a ship before, but never a city floating in the sky.

"It" = activity with guns that attracts the attention of cops and media, from shots fired to murder, happens at a much higher rate in the ghetto than elsewhere. Being concerned only with murder doesn't change the ratio. The more dense urban areas(cities) the more ghettos, the more violence with and without guns. Yes, violence with guns happens everywhere, but the point I was making is that's why the states with more cities, have higher per capita gun crimes, not because of the ability to carry concealed or open.
