   Thanks. Terrific response. It’s nice to hear from someone who doesn’t “know “ all the answers.

   I’m curious about how one measures “unreported” crimes? It’s hard to believe that can be done with any measure of accuracy.

   Instead of just making up facts, you could search for the actual data.

   In general, crime rates are higher in cities compared to rural areas. This is especially true for violent crimes. Here’s a breakdown:

   Violent crime: Rates are more than double in urban areas. For example, in 2021, there were 24.5 violent crimes per 1,000 people in cities, compared to 11.1 per 1,000 people in rural areas [USAFacts, Where are crime victimization rates higher: urban or rural areas?].

   Property crime: While cities also have higher property crime rates, the difference is less stark compared to violent crime. It’s important to note that rural areas can sometimes see higher rates of theft, particularly from isolated homes and farms [Deep Sentinel, The Hidden Truth About Rural Crime Rates].

   The other crime being covered up, doesn’t need to be a NYC crime to qualify. Now, that being said, I’m not happy about how the laws are being stretched (although, legal). It’s just lawyers doing what we all hate them for.

   And for the same reason, the combatants hid amongst the civilians. I’m not saying that excuses the killing of civilians.

   That’s how lawyers exist. No law is so clear that it can’t be questioned.

    The manufacturers would then just rename their products as shoulder rest.
