But...Europe has gun control.....and no 2nd Amendment....but growing gang shootings? But, how is that possible?

[Donald H]

Gee that's a fast about face. You are the one always saying it's not the criminals. it's the guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens that are the problem. What happened, did you get robbed this week?

I'm on record here as saying that it's not the gun's fault, for a year at least. Where have you been?

 

[Dragonlady]

What cities are "controlled" by republicans?
Not just Republican mayors, but Republican mayors and a majority Republican council?
How do the crime rate in those cities compare to

These, BTW are the top 10 cities for violent crime, and are all blue.
Is crime in these cities -not- "out of control?

Of course they are. We have a right to own and use them, and that right is protected by the constitution.

And commit a federal felony in doing so.

We will always have a right to own and use them, and that right will always be protected by the constitution.
Looks like you just argued your way into giving up on trying to keep criminals from getting guns.

The REAL problem isn't the legal availability of guns.

Your list is out of date. Several of the top cities are located in Red States. States control law and justice, not cities. City governments are NOT responsible for gun laws, criminal laws or any criminal law enforcement.

While the cities may hire and pay for police salaries, they do not control investigations, charging decisions, or criminal justice. Crime is entirely a state and federal matter. This bulllshit of blaming Democratic city government for levels of crime or poverty in their cities is yet another example of Republicans making a mess and then blaming Democrats for it.

• St. Louis, Missouri - Red State
• Oakland, California
• Albuquerque, New Mexico
• Baltimore, Maryland
• New Orleans, Louisiana - Red State
• Detroit, Michigan
• Lubbock, Texas - Red State

The states with the highest rates of violent crime are ALL red states, and they are all among the poorest states in the nation.

Arkansas	709
Tennessee	675
Louisiana	661
Alabama	596
Alaska	551

The moment a non-white government is elected in any city in a red state, the state government starts a program of disinvestment in that community. This leads to reduced funding for schools, community centres, recreational facilities, water treatment plants. The quality of life deteriorates as funding dries up.

America is starkly divided between neighborhoods that benefit from overinvestment and those that suffer from disinvestment. But identifying the geography of racial inequality also offers a mechanism for change.

You're lying,

Most Violent Cities in America 2024

Several of the top cities are located in Red States.

Sorry, Missy - you said:
Crime isn't "out of control ... . . . all across the various democrat party controlled cities . . ", it's out of control in red states and Republican controlled cities.

Thus, I asked:
What cities are "controlled" by republicans?
Not just Republican mayors, but Republican mayors and a majority Republican council?
How do the crime rate in those cities compare to the cities I listed?

States control law and justice, not cities. City governments are NOT responsible for gun laws, criminal laws or any criminal law enforcement.

Thousands of cities are now wondering why they have their own criminal ordinances, courts, law enforcement, and prosecutors.

This bulllshit of blaming Democratic city government for levels of crime or poverty in their cities is yet another example of Republicans making a mess and then blaming Democrats for it.

Funny then how you just blamed red cities.
Not that you have named any or shown that their violent crime rate is worse than those blue cities I listed.

The moment a non-white government is elected in any city in a red state, the state government starts a program of disinvestment in that community.

This is, of course, a lie.

Maybe not in Canada, but in the USA, law enforcement is almost all at the town, city and county level. The only time the Feds get involved are federal crimes and when criminals cross state lines. You might do just a little research before dumping your verbal diarrhea on this website. All you do is make yourself look even stupider.

Wake me up when Sweden has a gun homicide approaching what the US tolerates

Are you saying homicide isn't a crime?

Oakland Ca,

Oakland Ca,

Oakland has been a violent mess since, at least, the early seventies. When I was stationed in San Francisco we weren’t allowed to go to either the Oakland Army Depot or the Army Post Office there in uniform to pick up confiscated weapons, drugs or explosives without being openly armed. We used to destroy all three on our demolition range. Unless it was something unusual the Army didn’t bother to prosecute soldiers sending weapons or explosives home. We used to destroy at least a dozen AK-47s every month and many things like pencil flares and star clusters and switchblade knives as well.

States control law and justice, not cities.

You are an idiot........the mayors appoint the police chiefs, they set the policy for the police, the prosecutors are appointed or elected locally, and the judges are also elected.....and the democrat party mayors, police chiefs, prosecutors and judges are either not arresting the criminals, or after arrest are plea bargaining down the gun charges and other violent charges.....the Governor doesn't do that you thick clod....
You have no idea how the criminal justice system works..........the police in these cities conduct the investigations, the prosecutors and judges in these cities make the decisions on charging and trying the criminals, you idiot...
Here is just one case....you idiot...
Here is a democrat party prosecutor refusing to charge gang members, caught on video shooting at each other, leaving several of them on the ground with bullets in them...
The state had nothing to do with the prosecutor not charging them.....and it was so fucking blatant even the democrat mayor had to speak out......
There is an outcry from the mayor and some Chicago aldermen after men linked by police to a deadly gang shootout in Austin last week were released from custody. Prosecutors declined to charge each of them with a pair of felonies, including first-degree murder.

The mid-morning gunfight, which left one shooter dead and two of the suspects wounded, stemmed from an internal dispute between two gang factions, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

New video from city pod cameras shows what police say is two people pulling up and opening fire at an Austin home. They ducked for cover as the people inside fired back. One person was killed and two others were hurt in the shootout. Three people were arrested.

Police sought to charge all suspects with murder and aggravated battery. By Sunday morning, a Chicago police spokeswoman acknowledged the suspects had "been released without charges."

The Cook County state's attorney's office explained that prosecutors had "determined that the evidence was insufficient to meet our burden of proof to approve felony charges," a state's attorney's office spokeswoman said, adding that police officials agreed with the decision.
