Forget it, folks. It's the one little itty bitty place they can point to, and they're gonna stick with their Kennesaw meme until someone pries the guns from their cold, dead hands.

Yep, just a 20+ year jolt in the backs of the ignorant people who are not willing to realize that when people are armed, less crime happens....by 85% in this town....so sad people will not realize this....
Population means something? I though it was gun ownership is what was bad....
Why does this town have 85% less crime AND a suburb of Atlanta than the rest of GA?
Population means everything, it is a small town that has low crime and no murders.
Is this the new talking point for gun nuts? The subdevelopment I grew up with had no law that made guns mandatory, yet we had no shootings and probably still haven't had a shooting and the subdevelopment I grew up in was about the same size as this town.
Find me a big city anywhere in the world with this law and I might take you seriously. Or better yet find a state that is super pro gun that has shown a decrease in gun violence and you might be on to something, but this is just a small town in the Altlanta metro, it means nothing to your point.
You have failed to answer the OP....when you can adequately do this, then you may be worthy of an answer....saying the "population" is why they have little crime, is not an answer....remember this was is the early 80's when this was enacted....was crime a problem then?
No, let me answer, if you say the population is the reason that there is so little crime, then why does this small town have 85% less crime than other towns.....
Oh, and there are over 100+ other town with less population than Kennesaw....

Tell us your town, and then lets see the stats. for then and now, are they the same? What years are we talking about....

But I thought that guns in Illinois, Chicago to be exact...we damn near banned....but yet this town continues to have murders....I though the more law evoked on people, the better the town would be...

Wrong..... NH and VT could both be pointed too.... But that isn't the topic here.
This link is to my county and contains crime stats. I would guess guns would be found in better than 50% of homes here... http://nationexplorer.com/nh/carroll
