Sounds close to correct. The gun control laws aren’t much, if any, stricter in the cities than outside most of those cities. And there are other states and cities with stricter gun control. New Jersey and Hawaii are examples.
Also, note that Jail survey: 7 in 10 felons register as Democrats. This means that twice as many people in prison register as Democrats as all other affiliations combined.
The base data is probably still true but the law portion is mostly outdated. All of these places are shall issue now. There is still some harassment of law abiding gun owners, especially in Chicago and DC.
Time to make my perennial point about gun-free zones.
And might we point out that there is no such thing as a democrat anymore?
They got co-opted by the communist party.
And the communists have always used criminals to justify their take-overs.
It’s a natural consequence. Homicide rates are a prefect barometer of communist/democrat insurgents.
In fact, next time someone brings up the Guns=homicide canard. Point out the causation/correlation of communism=homicide instead.
Anyone that calls themself a democrat today is either trying to hide their communist bent, or to ignorant to be in the conversation with the grown-ups.
This was never true. The US is not and was never the 3rd highest in homicide rate.
According to the Wikipedia page on list of countries by intentional homicide rate, we’re 57th,
When I look, it lists the US as 195th.
