Notes from the Resistance
Chicago has a higher homicide rate than comparably large cities. Of the 11 most populous U.S. cities (over 1 million people), Chicago consistently has the highest homicide rate. [More]

This means that of the three percent of U.S. homicides carried out with rifles, a portion might have been carried out with lever actions, another portion might have been carried out with bolt actions, another portion with pump actions, another with semiautomatics, and yet another with AR-15s, etc. [More]
Don’t worry. The grabbers want to ban handguns, too.

Just keep in mind that when rates are used, low population states with high density Democrat cities are disproportionately represented.

So when Cato says “Not as many as some,” they’re pulling the numbers out of where?
The other deception they pull is what they compare the rate to treats the whole country like a homogenously whole, rather than a poll where mostly clean water is being polluted by identifiable local sources.
Is saying that going to get me in trouble? I sure hope so.

@MayorBMScott has gotten no where near the credit he deserves for helping lead Baltimore to a record low in gun violence. He’s leading the way and there’s lots to learn from how Baltimore achieved this. [More]
What did he actually do and what’s the methodology used to determine effects? Otherwise, this is just more correlation ≠ causation BS to plant a meme in what passes for minds of the gullible.
That and the year ain’t over yet.

Aside from career crimes and gang related activities, 0.004% of households with guns are involved in gun homicides. [More]
Gosh… it’s almost like all those “commonsense gun safety” advocates are nothing but agenda-driven LIARS…

I’d change the preposition to “with,” and then ask how many using firearms were committed by people breaking laws by having them…
I also note this appears to address “homicides,” which aren’t always unjustified, and presumably include suicides.
A release from Mayor Jones is touting a 15% reduction in overall crime in the city of St. Louis last year compared to 2023. Jones says the 150 homicides in the city last year were the lowest number of murders in the city of St. Louis since 2013, and represents a 43% decrease during her administration. [More]
Now prove a direct correlation between that and anything she did, as opposed to that’s just the way it worked out and a rise can come at any time.

For example, by examining homicide rates by state from 2012 to 2022, it can be seen that rates have increased almost across the board. That said, they are still lower than rates seen in the 1980s and 1990s. [More]
Don’t examine by states. The problem lies within known areas.
