Don't let the facts get in front of your witch hunt. |
Or yours. Every major city in Texas has much lower murder rates than Chicago despite having little gun control.
Plano, Texas 1.9
El Paso, Texas 2.4
Corpus Christi, Texas 3.9
San Antonio, Texas 6.6
Austin, Texas 3.5
Arlington, Texas 5.9
Fort Worth, Texas 6.3
Dallas, Texas 10.9
Houston, Texas 9.2
The point is, murder rates are not affected by gun control.
