Gee that was easyAnd I want to point your attention to the title of the thread
Guns, Culture and Politics so it seems to me the subject of the thread is not solely guns
Our murder rate certainly pertains to culture and politics as well as guns and as such is perfectly reasonable to bring up in this thread
And you know what else I see?
You are not the OP of the thread hence you have no authority to tell anyone n the thread what they can and can't bring up
Just so ya know. Even though the subject is gun violence, I found where you got that 70% of "murders" happen in 2% of counties stat. The claim is actually 68%. The source is John Lott and his "Crime Prevention Research Center".
I am looking ( unsuccessfully ) for a corroborating source as he is a known bullshitter. If I don't find one, you will be asked to support the claim with something reliable.
I expect you won't. And we will once again go nowhere.
And so the USMB world turns.
Yes you can't look at the actual data or where it was gathered so you say the source is no good
I looked at the data and where it came from and I also double checked items using the crime data on this site
Crime Rates, Statistics and Crime Data for every Address in America - NeighborhoodScout
You insult my intelligence.
You should have some respect for others and not lie so easily. You looked at nothing. This "report" was passed around RW news sources last year you saw it and it fit your preconceived notions about crime in America. You did not look at the data where it came from. You simply lied here.
Own it, at least. I'll forgive you.
Like I need or want your forgiveness.
All you did was dismiss the entire thing because you don't like John Lott
If you disagree then refute the numbers
You didn't do that you whined about the author of the article instead
