We are being compared to Mississippi recently but mor for our lack of economic growth.
I do see some similarities in that the poorest rural folks often are where gun violence is more common in domestic disputes and local gang violence.
We had a bad stretch of gang shootings locally last spring/summer. Rumored to be drug related.
Most often the weapon was a sawed off 22 or shotgun.
They won't be turning them in.
RCMP sent in a special gang squad and seem to get that under control as nobody has been shot on the street locally.
Have to agree we have weaker law enforcement in some rural Sask areas where homicide rates are high.
Some may referred to as no go zones.
Also notable urban areas like Mississauga and Surrey would probably receive an F.
I agree gun laws/gang violence/drugs need more enforcement in easily identifiable areas.
I don't see how seizing everyone on Agrivilles guns and sending them to Ukaine is going to have any effect on any of that?
But I can't argue with your point that areas with high levels of visible minorities that live in less than ideal economic conditions always live with more violence.
