A review of the most recent studies show that a simple comparison between urban vs. rural firearm mortality is misleading because of a higher rate of suicides in rural areas.
A better metric for measuring the increase in violent crime is to focus on U.S. murder rates by county.
When the proper focus is applied we find that most murders nationwide occur in a small set of counties (5%) associated with major urban areas. [1]

This is accurate, because of the COVID lockdowns:

1) Motor vehicle accidents for "children" declined because of the lockdowns which lowered the number of miles driven.

2) Firearm suicide rates for "children" in 2020 during the worst of the lockdowns skyrocketed.

3) Homicides of "children" skyrocketed in 2020 due to the "catch and release" policies of Soros-funded big city prosecutors releasing violent felons to commit more violent felonies.

Phhht...communists are comunisting again.

The most dangerous location in the world is the womb.

Far more dangerous than even Ukraine or North Korea. In the US egal abortion alone demonstrates that the frog in the pan is soup.

Leading cause of death of U.S. citizens?

Abortion. Approximately 1 million children are aborted every year.

That’s an old stat back from 1800s. The leading cause of death for “da childrens” in today’s world is standing on the edge of a cliff and taking a “selfie”.

The leading cause of obesity in children is their hands (how junk and fast food get into their mouths).

A giant half truth anounting to a lie.

The leading cause of death of children being shot is criminals not “firearms”.

Make no mistake, the attack on “firearms” is no more than an exuse for not making concerted efforts to go after and lock up the criminals.

Because they have to count urban 19 year old children to make it work.

Good news is that half of those children were shooting back.

I work with a younger pharmacist who is anti-gun. I explained to her that, especially with my poor health, there is no other equalizer should a man decide he wants to follow me to my car or break into my home for nefarious purposes, and that by nature, criminals don’t care about laws. They will 3D print them, buy them on the black market, steal them, and raid police buildings which were evacuated due to rioting should things get as bad as 2020 again. I explained how all proposed bans and gun laws wouldn’t have stopped ANY of the last few shootings to make national news, too.

I left her confused.
