Gun violence in America is really bad but not where you might think [More]
I wnet through the MSN clickbait slide show so you don’t have to. Basically, agenda “scientists” are trying to convince us that small town America is more dangerous than Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, etc., using rates.
Here’s the trick: Earlier this year we had a muderer in my home town of Hudson that looks like it could have been averted with some basic judgment about who you welcome into your home and why.
Hudson has a population of around 20,000, making the “gun homicide” rate for 2023 around five per 100,000.
Now look at the overall (not just gun) homicide rate for a significant chunk of Chicago:
The homicide rate for the city’s four North Side police districts (the 18th, 19th, 20th and 24th) last year was 3.2 residents per 100,000, according to analysis of data from the University of Chicago Crime Lab…
What this does is make it look like states with “lax gun laws” are more dangerous in general, to then push the rights swindle narrative that blanket citizen disarmament is needed. The DSM then dutifully regurgitates and parrots. It deliberately diverts attention from the documented reality that violence, as a whole, is predominantly concentrated in small, known, Democrat prohibitionist-controlled areas.
