A law that is not enforced and designed to be unenforceable, amounts to nothing more than a publicity stunt. Their goal was to flip the bird to MG, and by extension to gun banners, nothing more.

I said nothing about crime rates. Many factors go into a local's crime rate such that gun ownership is impossible to isolate as a factor. I simply noted that they haven't had any gun deaths. However, most small communities don't have gun deaths in any given year, or decade for that matter. Outside of large cities gun deaths are fairly rare.
