FTFY, because the FBI begs to differ

In 2019 (last publicly released data from what I can gather) we had 25 murders that whole year, and less than half of them of them were with firearms.

None of them were with rifles of any kind (contrary to the push for an "assault weapons ban" rifles quite literally are not a problem here) - more people were killed by knives (7), bludgeoning instruments (6), and hands and feet (2) than rifles of any kind, not just so called "assault weapons".

To be honest I don’t know why you would ever want to drop in. The appointments make it so you are in and out quick as heck.

This does make me feel just a little better. Granted, it’s not perfect and if someone truly wants to do something, you really can’t stop them, but at least we are doing better than some states who will give guns to anyone with a pulse.

After I left that comment, I checked the real estate there out of curiosity and it's ALL new construction. It never really made sense to me that there's a place so sparsely populated so close to really dense areas, including Providence.
