New Hampshire has the highest median income in the entire country. Obviously less poverty means less crime.

New Hampshire is ranked 47th in per capita gun ownership.

Alaska is #1 (61.7%), Arkansas #2 (57.9%) and so on.

SEC is well represented.

Missouri tied for 35th, Georgia at 28th, Florida at 24th, Texas at 18th, Tennessee at 15th, Kentucky at 14th, Mississippi at 13th, South Carolina at 12th, Louisiana at 11th and Alabama at 8th.

I think its safe to say that the number of guns themselves are not the problem...

Irresponsible, incompetent, and criminal gun owners are the problem.

Or, maybe it’s the other way around.

I had received my information from a trusted source, but she might've said 13th instead of 3rd and I misheard it. According to the data linked below, NH ranks 13th in gun ownership which is still very high.

I would make the following 2 points:

1) Guns aren't the problem. People are the problem.

2) Most of the areas with the highest murder rates also have some of the strictest gun laws. Taking guns away from law-abiding citizens might make some of them sitting ducks, but it won't solve the problem of gun violence.

Just say black people. And then tell us why that means violence is lower.

Some people need to get their facts straight. New Hampshire does not have the nation’s 3rd highest “gun ownership rate”, nor does it have the highest median income.

Legalize marijuana and
1) win some dopehead votes from the progressive left
2) reduce the unsuccessful war on drugs and get revenue on the books
3) put a large dent in the progressive narrative of systemic racism against blacks
4) promote this as helping to reduce overall gun related incidents
5) win over more black votes
6) secure more freedom for Americans

Go for it for 4 years and then re evaluate.

They had the highest median income in 2016. They’ve been in the top 10 ever since from what I saw. It’s splitting hairs. My point remains. Extremely high income areas usually has much less crime.

This really is the answer and I don't mean that with a racist connotation. It is a homogeneous group that is more educated with higher income
