I'm an outsider, but just spent 15 minutes on Google checking things out, and according to multiple sites there are no areas that have "
prohibited private ownership of guns".
As fly does, you can twist and turn making distinctions about excluding a dozen large cities and such, but it still remains that the US is unique in developed countries in having horrendous gun death rates.
An interesting web site is

Exclusive of those anomalies, the murder rate here is lower than in Canada, or Britain. That is the ‘gun-free paradise’ they want to bring to the whole country. Well, they can just shove it.
There are many other U.S. cities where guns have not been prohibited, and their murder rates are much, much lower. Other forms of violent crime are less prevalent there, as well.
The leftists blame all of that crime — even the crimes that do not involve guns — on guns smuggled in from the unregulated wilderness beyond their enlightened statist control, but WHY didn’t those same guns cause any crimes ‘out there’ before they reached those blessed sanctuaries?
The leftists made a promise: “The government will take all of your guns, and protect you from crime.” The government has failed to deliver. It is time, and past time, for the people to rescind their side of that agreement.

Why do so many idiots believe that the way to solve our problems is to vote for the same shitheads that caused them?
