Even so, I can't emphasize enough how nice it is to not even have to think about it happening. I haven't looked recently, but I seem to remember statistics of something like 10 firearms deaths on average a year. Thats like a quiet morning in Chicago.
Tru Tru on the always a first time for everything

Although, when you look at the statistics of gun violence, from what I recall the majority of it tends to come from specific blocks of specific cities. Like the majority of the city is pretty ok, but there's some specific spots that are fucking warzones. I've seen some articles presenting this back in the day. But I haven't been keeping major tabs on it or anything though
