You can read a lot of things into statistics, can't you?

Another reason for more murders nationwide could be the 40% increase in gun sales in 2020.

Causation? Correlation? My guess is as good as yours.

When they confiscate the firearms from the gangbangers, it is generally found that those firearms are mostly stolen, while some are what are called, "ghost guns" with no serial numbers. In this day and age, you can make a firearm in your garage, especially pistols and shotguns.
Don't worry though. The goal of the leftist politicians in their decaying cities is to allow the carnage to continue, while calling out for defunding law enforcement and eventually, insisting that the only way to stop the carnage, is to implement a "National Police Force," rather than locally trained officers. Once they get their with on that, we will be just like North Korea, China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba and Venezuela. Centrally trained Marxist police going after anyone that doesn't fit their agenda and compliance.

We're talking murders here. 25 people killed nationwide during the protests does not account for the study's reported 1,000 to 6,000 additional murders, does it?

Minneapolis is toast. The idiot mayor and the idiot governor sealed its doom. Same for Portland.

Black funerals are entertaining. Great music and dancing as they dance off the walls and Church ceilings and equate death to being finally free!

If you haven't been to one, go! You'll leave feeling better than before you got there!! I guarantee it.

How many of those murders were committed using firearms purchased legally in 2020?

No. It is caused by the unpersons SHOOTING them. Cause? When have Ganstas ever needed one?

Legally bought guns add to the pool of guns available to obtain illegally. And the study doesn't seem to be focusing only on black crime, does it? There's not much information about details in the article.

If you read the article, who the hell knows?

My point is that OP's conjecture on the cause of increased homicides is as much of a guess as mine.

Yes, Minneapolis is toast.

But let's be fair.

We cannot blame the mayor.

The city is toast because of the lack of character of many of the people who have been moving there.

Just another American city that has gone bad since the 1960s.

According to this lefty, when anybody shoots someone, it's the guns that caused it, because YOU CAN'T SHOOT SOMEONE WITHOUT ONE.
