Truth Still Buried

56% of Americans supported stricter gun control in 2023 as opposed to 78% in 1990. 12% of Americans supported relaxed gun control in 2023 compared to only 2% in 1990. [More]

Numbers have gradually moved in the right direction, but they’re still not enough to win most elections, highlighting the subversive influence of the narrative-parroting cheerleader DSM.

It’s working about as well as it does in St. Louis.

And it depends upon what the meaning of the word “decline” is.

I find this to be the most significant reveal about the increased likelihood of women being killed:

“If their partner has … a history of non-fatal strangulation, sexual assault, and a history of substance abuse.”

So, violent criminal households are significantly riskier environments … ?

I don’t know if there’s enough to establish a direct correlation/causation link, but it sure is curious how shootings go up with more political and media demands for and enactment of gun laws…

I’d like to see a study showing a timeline for that. Perhaps this could be a useful application for these AI programs we’re told can sort through stuff and reach conclusions it would otherwise take people years to do…

It’s Exactly Where I Might Think, You Charlatans

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.

Gun Stats

Ammo.com has compiled them for Global Civilian Firearm-Ownership, Global Civilian Firearm Rates & Gun Deaths, Gun Ownership Rates By State, What State Has the Most Guns Gun, Ownership Per Capita By State, Percentage of Gun Ownership by State, State Firearm Ownership and Firearm-Related Deaths, Firearm Ownership & Firearm-Related Deaths, Firearm Ownership & Firearm-Related Suicides, Firearm Ownership & Firearm-Related Homicides, and ATF Seizures and State of Origin. [More]

Just a subjective design comment here: If I were doing it, I’d replace ✅ with ☠️ under “Permit to Purchase” and “State Background Check.”

The Going Rate

In Democrat enclaves among Democrat constituencies

We’ve discussed the rates misdirection before. Just don’t expect the subversives at the oxymoronically-named Center for American Progress, or cheerleading DSM narrative parroters to admit the gaslighting.

So if the problem isn’t guns per se, then what is it?

Not among normal people it doesn’t.

They pull the same crap with the “gun violence epidemic,” taking numbers reflecting behaviors of an identifiable aberrant subsection of the population and making it seem like it’s a problem we all share, and in a way it is: Responsible people who don’t engage in high-risk stupid behaviors end up paying for the actions of those who can’t — or won’t — control themselves.

Consider the Source

My wife is a free lance journalist and has a journslist [sic] friend in MSM that gives her access to their aggregate feed where all this stuff daily flows. She sets up searches for me in that. [More]

I’d love to believe your stats, pal, I really would, but you’re going to have to be more specific than that. I also wish we were living in a society where there is no need to wonder if you’re just trolling to see who bites and spreads fake stats. Because, like I said, I’d love to believe this.
