Only a 1/4 of them die because the majority of the shooters use pea shooters(9mm) and are poor markspersons(How's that for PC?).

They must have excellent EMS as well.

By the time the vics get to the hospital the die has been cast the majority of the time.

The above was my experience as an EMT riding the fire engine and the rescue truck in the slums of Atlanta.

Had a guy shot 23 times with a 9mm one call. His worst injury was a fractured femur. He lived to tell the tale.

They're not comparing it to the smaller cities which have less people,like the ones you noted above.

.
Are you sure? If you are looking at cities purely by population, Chicago wasn't the first "major" city to open.

According to the most recent census Chicago is only 2.7 million people. (Edit the 2019 census is incorrect depending on where you look, I see it differs from 2.7 to as much as 8)

Phoenix is 4.5 million people and we've been open for months, 5th largest city in the US according to google.

Maybe it's the news in your area keeping you guys isolated from the rest of the country happenings??

What constitutes a major city these days anyway?

I think I found the answer. Google to the rescue

Major city defined by population:

major city means a zone with a population concentration in excess of 250 000 inhabitants or, where the population concentration is 250 000 inhabitants or less, a population density per km2 which justifies the need for ambient air quality to be assessed and guaranteed;


I think that opens it up to a lot of cities across the US that I'm sure have been open for quite some time now.
