2. But Maine

But Maine generally vies with New Hampshire for the lowest violent crime rate in the nation.

Like traffic signs and stoplights, I think the more densely populated an area is, the more things have to be regulated.

Maine is still a very rural state, so there's little chance for cars to bump into each other or for people to go crazy from the pressure of unnatural urban living or for an accidental firearm discharge to hit someone.

So maybe Maine residents and residents from other low crime rural states should be exempt.
