I am kind of surprised by some of their choices, interesting list though. I'm glad I don't spend too much time near any of those cities.

[IbanezBassist_v2]

St. Louis #2! Woo Hoo!

[DShiz1029]

Orlando is 11...LMFAO! I hate this city.

[Eastwood]

I don't live in any of them, but I bought a gun anyway. Can't be too careful in any big city.

[Quastor]

St. Louis #2! Woo Hoo!

A seconded Woo Hoo for St. Louis.

Of course, I actually live in county, not three hours away. ;)

Yeah Yeah! I am originally from St. Louis. :p

[Raider87]

See Chicago isn't bad at all... I dunno why everyone thinks it's all bad.. I mean sure there are bad areas but what city doesn't have their "ghettos"... and I bought some guns too haha you never know.... I but a 12 gauge to keep at home so my mom doesn't freak out when I move out... she's gets scared easily

[FallenAce]

Make sure you teach her how to clean it and take her to some shooting practice too. You'd be surprised how many people can't work a safety in times of trouble.

[sonicbrew]

I have a house in Flint that has been on the market for 3 years now. I am actually on the southern border of another town and my neighborhood is nice. However, there are areas like any other city that are really bad. Hell, here in Columbus, OH I see more crime related stories than I did in Flint, MI

Ya you're right... I'll have to take her to the range sometime... I showed her how to handle the safety but hopefully she'll never have to use it

[CaptainHowdy101]

I was under the impression that the lower the numbers, the higher the rate for that category

[Bakkster]

The numbers are rankings by per-capita rates. So Flint has the largest portion of its population getting murdered every year. Yeah, Michigan will ****ing kill you :p

Related story: An acquaintance of mine was chilling in his house near downtown Saginaw, MI with his 2 friends and his younger brother. Out of nowhere, 4 black guys break down his door, pistol whip him and his friends, and tie up his brother downstairs while they rob the place. Fortunately about 95% of the violent crime in MI is concentrated in these three cities, leaving everyone else pretty safe.

^That is why I have a Walther P-99 with hollow points under my bed and a Benelli-Nove
.12 gauge in the corner of the living room.

[Coldplayer]

Well we need them to keep away the nuts that have guns to kill us, it's a crazy crazy thing.

[FrshChees]

A New York city ain't there?!? I thought Brooklyn was near the top. And I was pretty sure Albany was in the top 10. oh well...glad they're not atually, i like life...and not being raped

[jaydajedi]

pretty hard to belive Phoenix didnt make the list
we are #1 in auto theft, home invasion, illigel imagrent traffic, and #2 only to phillie this year in cops being murderd.

[gh2masterwellalmost]

Then another person gets one. Then another one. Boom... HEADSHOT.

Hey quick revolution people? No takers? Awwww :p j/k

Anyway wonder which towns in UK would go on that. Liverpool? Birmingham? The outer boroughs of London?

And in America the only place I've spent a considerable amount of time was San Antonio and that was quite rich and middle class. Well I'm sure I could of found the slav- I mean cleaner's houses somewhere

"Well MY TOWN is worse than YOUR TOWN"

[Bakkster]

Why do you think Americans needed to carry guns in the first place? Oh yeah, some pansy Brits in red jackets decided to stand in fields in straight lines while we picked them off. :p

[DIEGOROBOT26]

I sure as hell don't live in Candem but I do hear stories about it being rape city, well at least we're close to the top of the list.
