November 14, 2017 By Calvin Freiburger
Whenever something as horrific as the weekend’s Las Vegas mass shooting takes place, people have an understandable tendency to let it grow in their minds into a fear of an ever-present danger that could happen again at any moment.
So it’s important to take a step back and examine crimes such as homicide in context. The simple fact is that murders are rare in most of the United States … but the parts in which they aren’t rare tell us a great deal about the real solutions to gun violence, and how wildly they differ from the policy prescriptions of those doing the most to stoke fear.
