Gun Violence Is Actually Worse in Red States. It's Not Even Close.

[Harry Dresden]

You lefties say that 2,000 murders isn't serious because there are 8 million people in NY City? But 5 murders in a city of 1000 is a catastrophe?

you are dealing with clayton jones....a genuine dipshit.....

‘Listen to the southern right talk about violence in America and you’d think New York City was as dangerous as Bakhmut on Ukraine’s eastern front.

In October, Florida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis proclaimed crime in New York City was “out of control” and blamed it on George Soros. Another Sunshine State politico, former president Donald Trump, offered his native city up as a Democrat-run dystopia, one of those places “where the middle class used to flock to live the American dream are now war zones, literal war zones.” In May 2022, hours after 19 children were murdered at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott swatted back suggestions that the state could save lives by implementing tougher gun laws by proclaiming “Chicago and L.A. and New York disprove that thesis.”

In reality, the region the Big Apple comprises most of is far and away the safest part of the U.S. mainland when it comes to gun violence, while the regions Florida and Texas belong to have per capita firearm death rates (homicides and suicides) three to four times higher than New York’s. On a regional basis it’s the southern swath of the country — in cities and rural areas alike — where the rate of deadly gun violence is most acute, regions where Republicans have dominated state governments for decades.’

The Surprising Geography of Gun Violence

America’s regions are poles apart when it comes to gun deaths and the cultural and ideological forces that drive them.

And Republicans will continue to refuse to seek realistic solutions to the problem of gun crime and violence.

You are more likely to be murdered in a shithole city than in rural America. The numbers prove you wrong.

Nonsense.
Everyone knows the real cause of gun violence, and its poverty, lack of opportunity, injustice, etc.
Anyone who thinks gun control is a solution, is a traitor who wants us back under a dictatorship.
Sure you can reduce violence by pre-emptively incarcerating everyone in a zoo, but that is much worse.
In reality, the real solution to poverty, lack of opportunity, injustice, etc., is more guns.
