As found over at The Gun Feed, this column complains about gun crime then when they explain the statistics it undermines their headline…..
They begin by lying about gun deaths, then explain that the majority are suicides, then talk about gun crime then admit that our murder rates are lower than in 1974…
Typical anti-gun propaganda
========•
t’s hard to draw a direct relationship between loosening gun restrictions and gun deaths.

For example, DeWine earlier this month said Ohio saw a 26% increase in gun crime in the pandemic year of 2020 — two years before he signed the permitless carry legislation.

However, as with most other statistics involving guns, those numbers need some qualification.
“Though they tend to get less public attention than gun-related murders, suicides have long accounted for the majority of U.S. gun deaths,” the Pew report says. “In 2020, 54% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides (24,292), while 43% were murders (19,384), according to the CDC.”
————-
Another statistical qualification is that while the raw numbers of gun deaths in 2020 represent new records, the rates do not, because there are many more Americans now. But given recent trends, those records might not stand for long.
The 6.2 gun murders per 100,000 people in 2020 is a full percentage point below the 7.2 per 100,000 recorded in 1974 and the seven gun suicides per 100,000 is below the 7.7 rate recorded in 1977. But the rate of gun murders has been climbing steeply since 2015 while the rate of gun suicides has been climbing more gradually.

Hmmmmmmm……what happened in 2015?
Anyone care to guess?
1) The democrat party war on police began
2) The democrat party ramped up the catch and release of the most violent criminals in the U.S.
3) Rhe democrat party sanctioned and supported their blm-antifa brown shirts burning, looting and killing for 7 months while ordering the police to stand down……the majority of this violence focused in black neighborhoods
Those are the three reasons for the gun murder and crime spike in our country
