    Oh?  Let's see you make a whole number of 1 from a value less >>>>>>> than zero using calulus.

    That's not how Calculus works.
    See the tutorial below. Now set the variable x of the function
    f(x=a) to (x→1). You can approach  x=1 from either side of 1
    (i.e. larger than 1 or smaller than 1). In your case, you can
    approach 1 from a negative number (i.e. less than zero).

    We're talking about gun murder rates which are usually expressed as >>>>> # of murders per 100,000 population.  It's simple division, not
    calculus.  In a town of 5,000 people, the murder rate per 100K
    population could only be 0, 20, 40, etc.  The rate could never be >>>>> more than zero but also less than 20.

    there has never been a murder in my town

    So like I said.  A USA small town with a

    population of 7.

    Right.

    Your bullshit about small cities and towns having lower gun homicide
    rates than Toronto is completely trashed, Francis, you
    polygamy-defending cunt shyster.

    Okay Rudy. Let's look at some.

    Compare your own city of Sacramento to

    Not where I live. Try again.
