Gun Deaths and Violence Rampant in Red States With LESS Gun Regulation

Center for American Progress - SourceWatch

The Center for American Progress was begun in 2003 with funding from philanthropists Herbert M. Sandler andMarion O. Sandler[1] It is a Washington, DC-based liberal think tank created and led by President and Chief Executive OfficerJohn D. Podesta, the head of Barack Obama's presidential transition team after the 2008 election and former Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton.

In 2009 CAP's Progressive Media project emerged as a major communications war room on behalf of Obama's domestic and foreign policy agenda and CAP became a strong advocate for escalation in Afghanistan. Progressive Media is run through the Center for American Project Action Fund, the more political 501(c)4 arm of CAP. It coordindates closely with theCommon Purpose Project, an effort to create message discipline among the pro-Obama organizations, with a direct tie to the White House.
 
Funny how this works!!

Every conservative, gun-toting outlet from Fox News, to the NRA has tried their very hardest to convince the American public that gun violence and gun related deaths are predominantly present in states that had stricter gun laws.

However, they have it bass ackwoods

Might want to take a look at the gun violence in blue cities in those red states.
The gun violence is mainly where the blacks are, red state or blue state.

Even a fuckin' cave man know that.
 
Gun crime statistics by US state News The Guardian

But not all firearm murders are increasing - rifles and shotguns have fallen since 2011 while handguns have increased for two years running.

There are also big regional variations as our interactive map shows. With 1,879 deaths in 2012, California has the highest number of murders anywhere in the US - and perhaps unsurprisingly, the highest number of murders by firearm too (1,304).

The lowest numbers were recorded in Alabama (1 firearm murder), Vermont (2) and Guam where there were none in 2012.



Never knew California was a red state....:badgrin:

The Main Stream Media feeds the public what they think the public wants to hear, what sells ad time for the networks, what boost their ratings, and what their controlling authority tells them to say. If you want the truth, and a clear picture of what is really going on in this country, talk to the folks on Main Street America. Look around your community, your state, and read the social and economic stats from a variety of sources. Never put stock in what biased networks feed the public.

That IS funny. You can hardly find a source more twisted and biased than The Center for American Progress.

Maybe Salon. Huffington. CPUSA.

Vacationing in Baltimore this summer? NYC?

Dipstick...we already did this thread...and they add suicides into the mix, and these red states have blue cities in them controlled by democrats for decades...
 
You really can't find a dumber poster than guano. I almost wonder if he isn't a conservative republicrat that posts here just to make bed wetting liberals look more vacuous.

Then again they all look stupid. There is no reason to exploit that beyond the humorous values.

Find a job guano, we know moonbats are stupid.


 
The gun grabbers never stop, they never rest and they never tell the truth........
 
Also.....2 of the states are on the border with Mexico and the drug cartels.....and Louisiana....again, their cities with the most gun violence are run by democrats....is a major port State........port cities have gun violence....look at Marseilles in France and Australia....lots of gun violence in their port cities.....
 
Notice....Atlanta, Georgia....run by democrats as far back as 1923.........
 
Top 30 Highest Murder Rate Cities in the U.S. 2015 - NeighborhoodScout



That murder rates in major U.S. cities are on the decline is popular knowledge. New York City is often held up as the example: in 1990, NYC had more than two thousand homicides, by 2014 that number was down to just over 300. It’s a common trend of many cities, including Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Dallas, among others. Even cities with especially high murder rates have seen a relative decline: New Orleans ranks 9 on this year’s list, down from 4 last year, and St. Louis improved from 10 to 12.

top-murder-capitals-65d1259e06e501e331787c508a1e80e8.png

On our ranking of America’s murder capitals, some cities show up that you might expect: Detroit ranks number 7, St. Louis 12, and Baltimore 13. Until recently large cities dominated murder-capital conversations; now this list is populated mostly by middle-sized cities as well as smaller cities in close proximity to larger ones. The smaller cities either serve or once did serve as industrial satellites to their larger neighbors. These smaller satellites show up on the list, while nearby larger cities sometimes don’t register. Camden ranks at number 2 but nearby Philadelphia does not make the list, Compton ranks 14 and San Bernardino 28, but Los Angeles doesn’t make the list, East Chicago ranks 15 and Harvey 11, but not Chicago proper. Perhaps these inner-ring suburbs and industrial satellites have contributed to the perception of their larger counterparts’ lingering reputations. Misinformed reporting may be to blame as well — using murder counts instead of murder rates, the later which normalize for population size and provide a better indication of your chance of becoming a victim compared to simple counts, which are generally just higher in bigger cities.

As with NeighborhoodScout’s ranking of the 100 most dangerous cities in the U.S., the Pacific-northwest, and the Great Plains don’t have any cities ranked at all. Also, there are no murder capitals in New England. All of the cities on the list, save for those in California, are either on or to the east of the Mississippi River. On the west coast, Oakland is the farthest north.

Big cities can have more murders than small cities, but not as a rate per population. This NeighborhoodScout report factors in population size to determine the number of murders in each city per 1,000 people, thereby normalizing for population and more clearly representing the risk to residents of a city.

While its population is tiny, East St. Louis ranks at #1 with the highest murder rate: .86 murders per thousand residents, approximately twenty one times the national average - while Baton Rouge ranks 30th on the list with .21 murders per thousand residents, just over four times the national average. We use the FBI’s definition for murder {homicide}, which is “the willful, non-negligent killing of one person by another,” and all cities included on this list are required to have a population of 25,000 or more.

east-st-louis-6a15ce6c9e3ceb3e1a78330f21622688.png

Unlike other crime ranking reports NeighborhoodScout uniquely factors in reported crimes from all 17,000 law enforcement agencies across the country, including homicides reported by all of the multiple law enforcement agencies who may have law enforcement responsibility in all or part of a community, such as municipal agencies, transit police, port police, park police, campus or university police, and more, providing a holistic and accurate picture of murder rates in each of the listed cities. Murder rates for every city in the country whose law enforcement agency or agencies reported — even those not on this list — are available as well.

Speculation about what factors are at play in decreasing murder rates in larger cities vary across the board. Take your pick. Some chalk it up to improved preventative policing measures and an increase in the use of surveillance technology. Prison sentences are longer, on average, perhaps keeping would-be criminals off the streets. The price of living in the city proper in many popular locales has increased dramatically, pushing lower-income groups to the outskirts, or at least to the close-in inner ring of older suburbs and industrial satellites. The boomers are getting older — so there just aren’t as many young people to commit violent crime. Any of these could be in play — and while articles focusing on decreasing crime rates in larger cities and their causes abound, lists like this one shed light on the pattern of where the murders are still occurring at the greatest rate, sometimes in neighboring cities just outside the central city and in middle sized cities in America’s heartland.
 
And how much lower is gun violence in cities with strict gun control...say...Chicago, Washington D.C.........Baltimore......again...all run by democrats....
 
East St. Louis.....democrat mayors since 1953......

If you have the time...you should run down that list of cities...see how many have democrats for mayors...I did that with the top 25 most violent cities in the country....24 out of the 25 had democrats for mayors for decades, the only one that didn't had the office going back and forth between dems and republicans....

The map below compares the rate of gun murders in American cities to nations around the world. Building upon Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dataused in that post, Zara Matheson of the Martin Prosperity Institute compiled additional data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and other sources collated by The Guardian. (While international crime data suffer from significant reporting and comparison issues, homicide data is more reliable. As the Urban Institute's John Roman points out, it is the one type of crime that is "hard to fake" and also most likely to be reported.)

homicide_metro_country%20(2)web.jpg

The pattern is staggering. A number of U.S. cities have gun homicide rates in line with the most deadly nations in the world.

  • If it were a country, New Orleans (with a rate 62.1 gun murders per 100,000 people) would rank second in the world.
  • Detroit's gun homicide rate (35.9) is just a bit less than El Salvador (39.9).
  • Baltimore's rate (29.7) is not too far off that of Guatemala (34.8).
  • Gun murder in Newark (25.4) and Miami (23.7) is comparable to Colombia (27.1).
  • Washington D.C. (19) has a higher rate of gun homicide than Brazil (18.1).
  • Atlanta's rate (17.2) is about the same as South Africa (17).
  • Cleveland (17.4) has a higher rate than the Dominican Republic (16.3).
  • Gun murder in Buffalo (16.5) is similar to Panama (16.2).
  • Houston's rate (12.9) is slightly higher than Ecuador's (12.7).
  • Gun homicide in Chicago (11.6) is similar to Guyana (11.5).
  • Phoenix's rate (10.6) is slightly higher than Mexico (10).
  • Los Angeles (9.2) is comparable to the Philippines (8.9).
  • Boston rate (6.2) is higher than Nicaragua (5.9).
  • New York, where gun murders have declined to just four per 100,000, is still higher than Argentina (3).w
