ALASKA--very pro-gun = higher murder rate than NY, IL and CA
!!
NH very pro gun has the lowest murder rate in the country
There is more to the causes of murder than simply guns
....NH has been mentioned many times--this is ridiculous because it's population is HALF of the
CITY of Chicago--density -
11,000 psm
NH density --147---monumental difference there
11,000 to 147 ..!!!!!
....the gun controlled states of NY and CA---huge populations/densities--have a lower murder rate than very pro-gun Mo and Alaska
..people always bring up Chicago--Chi's murder rate is about 50% LOWER than very pro-gun STL---funny how no brings up St Louis referring to murder--since it's the murder capital of the US and most dangerous city
Then why are you whining about AK there isn't a huge population there.
And if you state murders per 1000 it doesn't matter what the population is
DIFFERENCE--NH is a dumbass stat because of the population difference
--with a more dense population/bigger population, you would expect a higher murder rate--but NY, Cali, and Chi,NYC, LA have a LOWER rate than Missouri/StL and AK
And again.....you know the reason that St. Louis has a high gun murder problem......democrats in control of the city keep letting known, repeat gun offenders out of jail...which is also why Chicago has high gun murder....
And, of course, the major cities in Missouri, in particular St. Louis and Arkansas have been run by the democrats for decades.....and they are letting the gun criminals out of jail with a revolving door...
It isn't law abiding gun owners doing the shooting, it is the criminals the democrats keep letting out of jail doing the shooting...
And you ignored Baltimore....since it has extreme gun control, a smaller population than New York, and yet more gun murders....
And, of course, you ignore this fact...
Over the last 26 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17.25 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...
--
gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
And another fact you want to ignore...our gun murder is confined to tiny, 10 block areas of cities controlled by democrat party politicians, judges and prosecutors.....
Dems want $50 million for biased research to attack gun ownership
But in their focus to control guns, they are missing what causes the violence. Over 50 percent of murders occur in just two percent of the counties and even in those counties, it is mainly in very small areas of about 10 blocks.
The problem causing a great deal of violence is drug gangs. If you are going to solve the problem you have to reduce the profits those gangs get from selling drugs.
