There are around 16,000 murders by gunshot each year in the US. Of cases where the perp is known, at lease 80% of those murders are committed by someone who either could not legally possess a firearm and/or was using a stolen/illegally purchased firearm.

Law abiding gun owners (45 million) own at least 320 million legal firearms and untold trillions of rounds of ammunition. If we were as dangerous as people believe, the murder rate would be 100x higher.

Pre pandemic deutschtown was pretty great. E Ohio was a little seedy but some good spots.

Since then drug dealing and use has gotten bad near the Sue Murray pool, and more trouble makers on East Ohio.

But, things are rapidly changing to make e Ohio a vibrant business district. Subba Asian and EYV restaurant just opened. Siempre Argo and Fig Ash are great. Allegheny City Brewing is cool and is building a new tap room on East Ohio. Fig & Ash owners are opening a bar/rest/music venue called fat cat. Park house is renovating. James st pub will be opening later this year. A bike repair shop is about to open. Government Center bar/coffee shop/record store/music venue is open. Wagsburgh pet supply store is really nice. Spak Brothers just bought a building on the street. Plus more in the works.

Federal Galley is fun. The community garden is great to hang out at on Thursday nights. The elks club has banjo night. Farmers market in the park is nice. Lots of live music around.
