I would like for the two liberal pearl-clutchers here to explain why my rural county where guns outnumber people by at least 3:1 never has a murder. Almost everyone has a firearm within reach either on their person or in their vehicle, yet miraculously no murders.
Neither are apparently very smart so I'll provide a statistic as a clue - the population is 99.9% white and Hispanic.
I take issue with you correlating gun violence rates to race. But yes, small rural communities have lower murder and gun violence rates. Clearly. The vast majority of lawful gun owners are just that--lawful.
Gun violence rates cannot be attributed to one specific cause, and people have literally written dissertations on underlying causes of generational poverty and systemic problems that correlate with higher crime rates (and ergo, higher gun violence rates). It's not exactly surprising that gun violence rates are higher in major urban areas. Yes I know, the vast majority of big cities are run by Democrats, albeit a great number of these cities with high crime rates are in red states.
I still think we can do a much better job at reducing the number of guns on the streets and keeping guns out of the wrong hands. For example, i am still furious the Uvalde shooter was able to so easily purchase 2 AR15s, with as much ammunition as he wanted, right after his 18th birthday with no issue whatsoever, even though there were tons of red flags that should have either prevented him from buying them or delayed it. I'll never get over that.
Granted, the situation in KC is different and it will be several days until we know all the facts. I'm just tired of all this **** and tired of hearing people continue to make excuses for it.
Violent crime always correlated to race. This is why violent crime rates are consistent globally for each race. Asians are always the lowest in every nation, whites are always next and also very low, then hispanics, then a huge gap, and then blacks. This is the norm in every nation on the planet. We have data from not just the US but from Canada, the UK, Israel, Japan, France, and more that all correlate and line up exactly with American racial breakdowns in violent crime.
You're engaging in severe gaslighting here because your real goal was never about reducing crime. It's to remove weapons from your enemies to make them easier to oppress and crush. Everyone knows this now, which is why no one takes any of the words you say seriously.
If you cared about violent crime at all, you would follow the El Salvador model. We all know you don't though.
