I was trying to say I agree with you re community policing. Sorry for the confusion.

And there's plenty of empirical evidence that gun free zones don't kill people as much as a preponderance of guns. Europe as a whole is basically a gun free zone and guess what...very little gun violence. The same goes for Japan.

America has an absurd number of guns and an absurd amount of gun violence. Take away all the guns and the gun free zones will be safe.

There's no evidence at all - anywhere - that a lot of guns = safety. That's ideology. Practice what you preach.
