I read a statistic stating that somewhere around 80% of the violent crime in America takes place in about 5% of the counties.

In other words, there are certain niche demographics in America that are pulling up those gun murder stats, and it's generally not a problem for most people who enjoy 2nd Amendment protections.

shows that 5 counties in the state of Washington account for almost all the state's violent crime.
