El Paso, America’s safest big city, undermines Chicago’s case for gun control

Washington Examiner via Instapundit

Chicago, Ill., a city surrounded by the rural midwest, has tight guns laws. El Paso, Texas, has lax gun laws and neighbors one of the most violent cities in the world. Yet, El Paso is the safest big city in the U.S., whereas President Obama cites the murder rate in his hometown as a reason to implement his gun control agenda.

Do the Republicans even look at this information?  Why can't it be presented in election campaigns?  Why do we get a government that works against us rather than for us?
