On Wednesday morning, CNN again tried to blame crime in liberal states on the laws of more pro-gun states as co-host Jim Sciutto recalled complaints in New York about guns being transferred from Southern states.
Discussing a new CDC report documenting the surge in homicides, the CNN host did at least acknowledge that the morale of police officers has been hurt, contributing to the spike in crime, but did not clarify the role the media has played in making it that way with their over-coverage of police-involved violence.
Speaking with Oakland, California, police chief LeRonne Armstrong, Sciutto suggested the availability of guns in pro-gun states was causing more crime in liberal states as he oddly described the more conservative states as having "liberal gun laws." The CNN host posed:

Partisan Media Shills alert. Thanks rktman.
Just spewing, what I consider, misinformation. Cancelled? Don’t be silly. THEY are part of the team of arbiters that decide what is and isn’t “MI”. They can phu cough!
—yep—been amazed for sixty years how those folks in “gun control” states want to kill each other so bad that they have to blame neighbor states with low crime rates for their problem—
It’s never the shooter, it’s always the gun like the gun got all mad and stuff, loaded up its magazine and went off on a spree all its own.
Little former Mayor and failed POTUS candidate Michael Bloomberg was always blaming Florida for NYC gun crimes.
Well, lucky for me, my two Senate (non) reps are working hard to combat this menace. They hear from me on occasion but hairy screed is pulling their strings. 😈
Heh... reminds me of Shaw’s joke that “fish” can be spelled “ghoti”.
More guns less crime... is the truth...
Then remember:
Rape is NOT penis violence...
Car Jacking is NOT car violence.
Wife Beating is NOT fist violence.
All the above are CRIMINAL VIOLENCE...
Liberals/progressives/commies ‘elite’ never seem to ‘get it’... (intentionally)
Meanwhile, in places like Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, the Dakotas, Montana, many parts of Texas and Tennessee, and elsewhere with these “liberal” gun laws there is very little or no violence. I guess Ms. Hill and others at CNN do not want to make that sort of connection.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Quiet!
This is the same as blaming Louisiana for a NYC restaurant’s abortive attempt to make gumbo.
Yeah, that don’t work. When we lived in LA., anyone that lived north of U.S. Hwy 90 was considered a Yankee. 😂🙌
This is the same lying pack of BS that BeetleJuice (mayorette of Chicago) pulls: “our gun violence is exported to us from gun lax states.”
So how come none of those gun lax areas have violence problems like y’all do? One reason is that when they ID an habitual criminal they those his butt in jail to rot, instead of finding/creating a reason why he “went astray”.
and said “progun states” do NOT have the same problems, BECAUSE???
why is that even considered as an argument?
Maybe CNN can explain why gun friendly states don’t seem to have this problem.
Here’s a hint: it’s a people problem not a gun problem.
They think like most leftists that because big cities refuse to get control of their feral criminal population, the rights and liberties of people in other states must be curtailed.
Moral turpitude is the cause of violence.
You mean they’re not blaming the gang bangers and drug cartels?
