Maybe a "grand tour" strike by our B-52 wings would help.

Nobody seems to be very concerned.

1srelluc has it by making a joke out of it! The whole problem has become too politically sensitive for a constructive discussion.

And the NRA are still convincing Americans that the chickens still aren't coming home!

is it surprising that more people equals more murders? of course the densely populated cities will have more of any crime than a similar acreage in nebraska.

That would make sense...but I've done more personal research on this subject.

You can take the remaining counties and combine the low population density counties until they equal the population of the high density counties, and the disparity remains.

Population density is the problem.

Gee, that map matches up quite well with the distribution of key democrat populations and strongholds.

Actually, democrat party policies are the problems in these cities and counties.....attacking the police, and releasing violent criminals creates more crime.......more police, and locking up violent criminals for decades decreases crime...

Guns, as you state, are not the issue.

Or population density causes democrat policies.

You've of course seen the Clinton Archipelago...

Definately considerable overlap...

Sure, but what color people?

 

[M14 Shooter]

is it surprising that more people equals more murders?

That's why we compare murder rates between Wayne County MI vs Empty Cornfield County NE.
Detroit had a murder rate of 50.0/100k in 2022 -- how do you suppose that compares to Blaine County NE?

 

[AyeCantSeeYou]

It'll be interesting if an update for murders committed in 2023 is done. I know Baltimore is down from the data listed with Washington, DC surpassing it.

back to overpopulation.

murderers come in every color.

 

[citygator]

Land doesn’t vote or commit crimes. You guys do not understand maps. How about this map?

 

[Missourian]

back to overpopulation.

Overpopulation of cities...yes.

 

[Blues Man]

Within those counties murders are concentrated even more to very small areas.

The difference in murder rates between areas a small as a few square city blocks can be huge

Maybe you can come down and go door to door in COOK county handing out fliers to stop shooting and stuff. that is close to Canada right? OK then go to Michigan.

Why would I be concerned?

High crime areas exist because the government wants them to exist.

And that is a lie....as those states have democrat party controlled areas causing the murder rates...

While state legislatures enact the criminal penalties for different offenses, local governments set the policies that determine whether someone is arrested and convicted. Cities and counties set spending on police and sheriff departments and policing policies. Most states have local elections for district attorneys and trial court judges. In the last few years, many Democrat district attorneys have been accused of going soft on violent criminals. They may also not request bond for criminals. Judges have also released large numbers of inmates from many local jails over the last few years.
-----
While the murder rates in Trump counties in the states Trump won are only slightly higher than those in Trump counties in states Biden won, the Biden counties in Trump states had an 83% higher murder than in Biden states. This may say more about law enforcement and demographics than it does about state gun control laws.
For example, African Americans commit half the murders in the United States, though they comprise only 13.6% of the population. The counties that Biden won have almost four times the percentage of black voters. That gap is even larger in the counties in the states that Trump carried than the states that Biden carried.
Breaking out large counties with over 100,000 people, which is where 88% of murders in the U.S. occur, shows a similar, though even more extreme, difference. The murder rate data for counties that Biden won is much higher than for those that Trump won.
---
The difference between Biden and Trump states is again driven by the Biden counties in the Republican states having much worse murder rates than those in the Democrat states and those are also the counties with the largest black populations.


The murder rates are much higher for Democrat counties both in states that voted for Biden and states that voted for Trump, but it is the high murder rates in Democrat counties that are causing the higher murder rates in Republican states in 2020.

The Biden counties in Republican states averaged a murder rate of almost eight per 100,000 people, up from 4.4 in Democrat states. The Trump counties had only slightly higher murder rates in the Republican states.
