Yeah, guns make Detroit a more violent place than it otherwise would be. The problem is people still have to live and work there without being victimized.

And to anyone who says, "they should have given the robbers what they wanted" can metaphorically ride the toe of my boot to hell.
-How do you know the robbers would not have killed them anyway?
-What makes you think working class people can just give away property to anyone who threats (see reply title).
-It wasn't theirs.
