"SNIP.......

Politico: “Listen to the southern right talk about violence in America and you’d think New York City was as dangerous as Bakhmut on Ukraine’s eastern front.”

“In reality, the region the Big Apple comprises most of is far and away the safest part of the U.S. mainland when it comes to gun violence, while the regions Florida and Texas belong to have per capita firearm death rates (homicides and suicides) three to four times higher than New York’s. On a regional basis it’s the southern swath of the country — in cities and rural areas alike — where the rate of deadly gun violence is most acute, regions where Republicans have dominated state governments for decades.”

Many have a lot of rural area and now it seems to be getting worse in the suburbs in my area.

Anyone with a triple digit IQ can see that without doing much research, but tell that to those who live in those Red States. They either do not know this (ignorant or purposely ignorant), know it but won't acknowledge it since they are hypocrites, or they know and acknowledge it but don't give a shit since the Libruls are evil and guns is the only way to defend themselves from these hate filled Libruls.
