Crime requires its weapon

No, not every crime requires a weapon. Fraud and simple theft do not. But, take murder: it almost always comes with use of a weapon. Rape is often accompanied by the use of a gun or a knife. Bank robbery comes with a gun.

So, if we can see so many of the serious crimes require weapons, why can we not also see there is advantage to the absence of weapons? Indeed: To say that America is the most incarcerated nation in the world might be to suggest we have more robberies and such than many nations do. The people in those other nations might be no better than ours, but they do not rob the banks as often. Now, this makes sense: If they don't have the weapons, they can't rob their banks as easily.

Where the gun is, crime will rise? It's a thought. And, it may be a fact.
