Alaska's contradiction? Lots of guns, few homicides

  I lived half my life in Alaska and there is a dark side to things there when it comes to shady activities.  Lots of criminal activity to be exact and much of it polices itself.  If you know what I mean.   I think I'm just saying that Alaska may not be the best example of more guns less crime.  It has a very small population and many crimes aren't reported to the police.  Especially in the towns and villages out in the middle of literally nowhere.   But I will agree with the fact, if you are going to do something illegal to an Alaskan, you'll probably be met with loaded gun in your face when you do!   They'd hang you as a rug on the wall if they could too!  lol

Mike, I think that could be said about anywhere we live. There seems to be a dark underbelly and wickedness in high and low places everywhere. Luckily though, if we have a means to protect ourselves we are one step ahead of the darkness. And that doesn't just mean with a gun if you know what I mean?

Definitely Tara!  It is almost surreal living in America and just taking a step back to try and process what's really going on in the country today.   I sometimes feel either the American in me no longer exists so there is no reason to be a part of the madness or that people who understand what their liberty truly is are being pushed into a rather uncomfortable place.  Where it is rapidly becoming too cramped for liberty to stick around and she is going to only stay with us if we decide she is worth the effort.  Never in a million years would I have felt or thought the way I do today.  It is truly bizzarro world.  The organized crime syndicate who call themselves the government need to be shown that they have no authority over anyone.  I think it would be easier than people think it would be to just stop participating in their game of full Monty.  Like those old "your brain on drugs" commercials, just say NO to the crooks and enforce their impotency upon them by not even giving them the acknowledgement they feel entitled to.  

"This is a gun-crazy state. Guns are everywhere. About 58 percent of Alaskans own a gun, according to the Washington Post. Given that the >U.S. Census says the average household size in the 49th state is 2.65 people, there is, on average, 1.53 guns per household.
The state's gun-homicide rate is a low number. At 2.6, your odds of being shot and killed in Alaska are lower than your odds of being murdered in the European principality of Liechtenstein(sold as hunting gear mostly) (2.8 per 100,000) and about the same as your odds for being murdered in Luxembourg (2.5 per 100,000)."

I think it's even more guns in Switzerland compared to those 2 Eu countries. I feel like this example shows that firearms themselves aren't the problem, no matter how much media tries to demonize it.
