Make Democrat-controlled cities stand on their own and the list will look far different.
True. If you took out New Orleans and Baton Rouge Louisiana would have a low rate of violent crime and firearms deaths.
The stats don’t discuss whether the people killed were robbers, were killed by police, were suicides, etc.
Like, Chicago.
The statistical lie they are using here is by focusing on “gun deaths.”
The reason they focus on “gun deaths” is because more guns result in a lower overall murder rate, and they don’t want to admit that.
More guns, less murder.
Bill Whittle’s video “Number One With a Bullet” video illustrates this very succinctly.
Here is a link to it.

Here are links to the three data sources that he references.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_murder_rate
Fact is, states with strong gun laws and low gun ownership rates lead the nation in per capita murder rate.
Don’t let them hide behind the “gun deaths” fig leaf.
Notice it’s a “rate”, which means that any “gun death” will rank much higher in lower population areas.
What a pantload. Is that gun deaths per 100,000, if it is that means VT had about 60 p/yr, about 1 month for Chicago. Lying liars lie. There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Lets consider actual numbers and not “rates”
News Flash!
States with the most Hospitals have the most Hospital Deaths!
We can stop most Hospital Deaths if we outlaw Hospitals!
/S
The large majority of “Gun Deaths” are suicides, and most of them are old white guys.
“Gun Deaths” and “Gun Violence” are loaded propaganda terms.
This is a totally bogus study. Places with high levels of guns and concealed carry have much lower crime rates.
