If you look at the stats by city rather than state you'll see most gun crime comes from big cities. We're talking per capita obviously since that's what matters.
You almost hit what I was waiting to see if you picked up on it.
Let me play attorney for yas
I don't know, and not going to look, what the hot spots of CA or TX are, I literally live in between the two most murderous cites in the country. My area is also considered in the Chicagoland Area term, even though it's NW Indiana.
You're right, it IS big cities and it IS per capita.
Most big cities ARE run by the Left.
Those numbers for IL and IN,... 95% of those numbers come from those two cities. The rest of both states are very quiet and kind.
The misinterpretations and the ABUSE of DEI, TORCHED the Chicagoland Area in major spike in crimes. Those appointed under the wing of DEI in IL, were absolutely NOT qualified for the job, derelicts. DEI is a great concept on paper, everyone wants things fair, right?...how it was interpreted and abused makes it intolerable, and a lot of crime spiked through the roof. This stuff where, "lets not make the criminals mad, just let them run away" was delirium bias, not to mention the DAs connection to street gangs in her younger years had anything to do with it <eye roll>. The crime came to IN thinking stupid hoosiers are pushovers... here's is their miscalculation,...it's a purple area, not blue, it's a red state, I don't know anyone who doesn't own a gun..They are used to running and people don't have guns for protection in IL....most went home horizontal or in IN blackhole system. They learned the hard way. We don't let you run, we throw an army at you.
I myself, working in Chicago during that era was almost shot twice and almost car jacked once,.. in one month time.
What they did was entirely stupid and destructive,... and the right is right,... what you say happened is exactly what happened, and worse than you know. The demographic IS an issue not spoken out loud. IN THIS SITUATION I wave the Red flag with ya.
See I can agree on reasonable rational concepts from both sides, doesn't mean I'm any label. Why anyone would listen to the far Left or far Right is a bit striking. Both extremes are full of crap, BOTH, to the neck. The last 5 minutes of a football game is all that matters. Everything in between is just time wasting drama. Doesn't matter what they say, if they can't get it done it means zero.
All this time the right cried about guns going away,.. never researched to find out it's mathematically impossible to happen without destroying every inch of the country. 40+ yrs of wasted time and tears over someone ON BOTH SIDES hyping you up with nonsense. Ya bit the hook, line, sinker and arm. Whatever they outlaw they have no way to enforce it, except in small nibbles. REASONABLE left don't want to take all guns, just background checks, and they couldn't if they wanted to. You had a half-truth baked with nonsense.
I say this about IN comparing to IL. IL is total and complete corruption from head to toe. It is the most corrupt state I've ever been in, hands down. A LOT of fingers in the pie.....OTOH, IN politicians are too stupid and slow to be corrupt, they get caught every time. Good crooks don't get caught.
See, this is where that far right concept that if you don't agree with them on a subject, you're a liberal. That's nonsense, I disagree on a subject, I agree on others, it's called Independent. SO if I say I disagree it's because the true facts don't support your stance.
POINT BEING
It IS the big cities and Progressives had their chance and blew it big time. Another point, they have since been replaced as the people voted them out ASAP. After they were dumped in Chicago and the district DA, crime dumped, the reputation remains.The misuse of DEI ruined the entire concept.
