“Puppies play until they collapse. Dogs know when to take a nap.”
The metric would be simple.
Example: Staten Island (pop 474k) has 4x the gun ownership per capita of the Bronx (pop 1.4m).
That’s quoted from a Tweet, and I would expect that subsequent Tweeters pointed out the absurdity of comparing very-low-crime Staten Island to very-high-crime The Bronx. Even so, the essential difference is population density, not firearms ownership: Friction begets fractiousness.
But in typical Marxist Upside Down game fashion, the double-dip dipshit is on to something, she just has it ass-backwards. Her claim is that legal gun ownership denotes bad neighborhoods, which would only be true in big cities – where measuring gun crimes would be a better RiotScore™ tell.
But that one metric might be all the RiotScore™ that’s needed: Gun-crime arrests in a one-mile radius in the past year – with any number above zero being a red flag.
Gun owners don’t commit crimes, criminals do – with whatever weapon is at hand.
