Oddly enough though, the inverse does exist. If you flood a township with guns, as they did in Kennesaw, Georgia in the early 80s; By passing a law requiring every head of household to own a firearm, they were able to drop crime in all forms by over 80% in the township proper. 25 years later they were able to celebrate 25 years without a single murder in the township, despite population growth of 500%.
Also interestingly, the areas immediately surrounding Kennesaw have the same levels of crime as ever, which illustrates that yes, they didn't solve crime, they only displaced it. On a crime map, there's a ring of 'red', like a corona, around the township proper. It's amazingly curious.
