- This also ignores the actual rates in neighbouring cities, it

- Does Virginia Beach (is that the name?) has similar population,
- looser gun laws, and 1/7th the homicide rate. Virginia Beach is
- across a bridge from Washington DC.

- Virginia Beach is NOT across the bridge; it is a state away, about
- two hundred miles. Your description would apply to either Arlington
- or Alexandria, which are "across a bridge" and which have rates
- approximately as you describe.
