I wonder how many towns with populations of 15,000 - 35,000 have gone 30 years without any gun deaths.
I'm guessing that out of the 18,000 or so cities, towns and villages in the U.S., and a conservative guess that maybe a third to a half of those are in the 15 - 35K range, probably about a third of those would have gone 30 years without a gun death.
2000
Yeah, it's a total guess. But I would bet for sure, that at least 1000 small towns, cities or village have had no gun deaths in 30 years.
That's why the guards with guns in every school is so ridiculous.
If I'm wrong, then make it 2 or less gun deaths in 30 years, and for sure it's at least 1000 small towns, villages or cities.

Oh wait. It says "as a victim, attacker or defender"
Does that mean that when a little girl accidently shoots herself or her brother, that doesn't count ?

"He said there have been few accidental shootings in Kennesaw in his 20 years with the department, and none involving children."

So I guess it's a trade off. Less burglaries, but more accidental gun deaths. The town grew from 5000 in 1980 to over 30,000 now.
He said a few. What does that mean ? Maybe 4 or 5 ?
Where is the freedom in that ? The local government ' requires me to own and maintain a gun ' Reeks of big government and Socialism , Commie dogs !

I completely agree. If it's OK.I would like to put a twist on what you said.
Fuck them.
I will have to admit that when every man, woman & child is fully armed there will never be another gun death. ROFLMAO

I think you & I both know that the 2nd trumps the life of any American including bullet riddled bodies of 6 & 7 yr.olds. sarcasm

interesting.
"In March 1982, 25 years ago, the small town of Kennesaw – responding to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun. Since then, despite dire predictions of “Wild West” showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or defender."
