I've already proven you wrong on the poor being more likely to commit crimes. One of the poorest places in America is demographically non minorities and is relatively safe.

You lefties will be genuinely shocked that the government you dearly love intends to murder you. They already started knowing you'd all line up for the mRNA poison. Blowhard? I'm generally a kind man until my family or myself is threatened.

I'll beg someone like "patriot" to save my skin? If my situation were such that I couldn't save my own skin, I know that some blowhard like him is not going to be of any help.

Racial demographics of the most dangerous cities in the states you listed.


This is completely irrelevant. You could have 10 white people and 100 black people... 2 of the 10 white people open fire, and your argument would be that the black people did it since they have the higher demographic.

On a larger scale, you also ignore the real issue of poverty and its impact on crime. It has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the Republican policy of minimizing the middle class.

Big pharma pills are also a leading cause of death and misery.

You have no credibility when you only parrot what the current illegitimate regime that is the federal government churns out. The only thing I would believe that they would say is if they were to tell me they intended to kill me. The funny thing is when they actually start doing that, (killing us) they intend to kill your bunch as well as mine. So keep on defending them.

I keep forgetting, Patriot doesn't believe it if it doesn't come from Russia...

This is why you have no credibility, Patriot. You inexplicably ignore any facts that prove you wrong. You're so desperate to believe whatever nonsense that you've made up that you'll cling to anything that supports your ignorance.

The fbi is where you get your facts? The most corrupt of the government entities by far. The ones that create crimes in order to be able to solve them? I've had a good belly laugh! Thanks!

If someone wants to punch their own ticket or even someone elses, they don't need a firearm to do it.

No one said otherwise, and your strawman argument has no place here.

The point you've inadvertently proven is that there are more suicides in Republican states than Democratic states... which confirms that Republican policies have a negative impact on the poor.

More people are murdered with knives and blunt force instruments than firearms.

Completely false.

Murder Victims by Weapon

Total firearms: 9,143
Knives or cutting instruments: 1,533
Blunt objects: 438
Poison: 8
Explosives: 1
Fire: 63
Narcotics: 70
Drowning: 12
Strangulation: 96
Asphyxiation: 105
Other weapons or weapons not stated: 1,727


Firearms were used in 66% of all homicides, so more than all other homicides combined...

If someone wants to punch their own ticket or even someone elses, they don't need a firearm to do it. More people are murdered with knives and blunt force instruments than firearms. Humans were killing themselves and others long before gun powder dunces.

Tribune... honey, Patriot is trying to change the subject because he can't defend the Republican policies against homicide and suicide. Don't fall for it

You can think anything you like. I do know that the day the military machine is turned inward, and it will be, you'll beg someone like me to save your skin.

And "patriot" what do you know of guerrilla warfare? I suspect you know nothing of any kind of warfare. Just another MAGAT that supports a draft dodger that disrespected our WWII heroes.

New data found that includes Firearm Homicide Rate per 100,000 people...

The top 5 states for firearm homicide are...

Louisiana
Mississippi
Alabama
Missouri
Maryland


This is almost the same as the earlier list that included firearm suicides, the only real difference is that New Mexico (D) is off of the top 5 and is replaced by Maryland (D). We still see 4 states that are heavily Republican, though, while #5 on the list is the only Democratic state.

You know nothing of guerilla warfare. I can see a dim leftist such as yourself wasting 5.56 ammo on strong armor but not someone I'd associate with.
