Bingo!! So in other words, it's not the presence, or lack, of guns that matters, it's the "way of life" embraced by the citizens of an area, that ultimately determines levels of violence. I think that's what you are saying, and I agree!!

Therefore, if we want to reduce the violence, the way to do it, is to encourage people to adopt a way of life that's more similar to what people do in the Dakotas (work, family, church, love). But liberals, instead, tend to mock the way of life in the Dakotas, and instead of telling blacks in Chicago that they need to change, they pat them on the head, say "there, there", and give them a welfare check. The Obamas tell the citizens of Chicago how swell Beyoncé and Jay-Z are, which legitimizes that "way of life".
