Deterrence works great, but why is Texas so popular with criminals? The prison population in Texas exceeds the population of Alaska, Washington DC, Vermont, and Wyoming.

"The prison population in Texas exceeds the population of Alaska, Washington DC, Vermont, and Wyoming."

we call those places half-way houses. After living there for awhile, they rarely go back to a life of crime.

All of Washington, DC's prison inmates are housed in other states.

How's that number compare to those in other states?

My point was of course that it's best to round up all the gangstas in a state where everyone is armed to the teeth.

"U loot, we shoot".

Why did they disarm the N.O. populace if that's the solution ?

OK, lets ALL get guns and cary them around. Lets get big bright chrome ones, and show them off. It ought to solve all of the country's problems, including those caused by the lazy bums who make me feel threatened when they panhandle... lazy bums, they sould be in workhouses!

I'm sure that will solve lots of things, in this age of incompetence

I wonder what the gun deaths rate (accidental or not) is in TX or AZ, compared to elsewhere. Im not saying that gun laws are wonderful, and I am a multiple gun owner myself... But something makes me uneasy about seeing that munch of folks...

I thought those were panhandlers in that picture.

On second thought.

Kinda fat for panhandlers and not dressed as well as many.
