Gun Violence Is In Democratic Strongholds

[Locutus]

From Zip

Forget Wal-Mart and skip your local gun show. The murderers of tomorrow will not be found wearing orange vests at your local sporting goods store. They won’t have NRA memberships or trophies on their walls. You won’t find them in America. Look for them in Obamerica.

67% of firearm murders took place in the country’s 50 largest metro areas. The 62 cities in those metro areas have a firearm murder rate of 9.7, more than twice the national average. Among teenagers the firearm murder rate is 14.6 or almost three times the national average.

Gun Violence is Not a Republican Problem, It

 

[eh1eh]

No, gun violence is not a Republican problem. It's a problem of everyone.
What a jackass statement to make.
Of course the gun violence is in areas with Democrats as reps. That's where people are being harmed by the gun violence. It only stands to reason that they would be voting for the party they think might actually help them with the problem. Yes it's a problem even though Republicans say it isn't.
This should be in the gun control thread with all the stupid crap there.

In Republican districts they are too busy playing the banjo.

If the CIA ceased importing cocaine and A-Stan heroin, the majority of violence would cease overnight.

300 million guns are NOT going to disappear.

NOTHING Obama does will stop inner city minorities shooting the hell out of each other.

The Americans need to stop pretending that limiting their freedom will make them safe.

A stable economy, good education, mentoring, and a giant step away from the culture of fatherless boys is what is necessary.

How??

I don't know.

Indeed, but it is still not a Republican problem. The article is designed to deflect any blame from the Republican party. I think the gun part is superfluous. This is just a political shill article.

Absolutely because the problem is multi-layered and systemic.

I don't think at this juncture they are looking at gang violence, this is about main stream America.This is also not about Obama anymore. It would not matter who was in power they would be in a pressure cooker to do "something" or at least appear to do something. Even moderates in the NRA are saying that.

Perfect!

But more guns are not the answer.

Glamourization of "thug life" goes against everything I believe in. There is nothing "cool" about a gun, they are to be respected but not demonized.

If you want somebody or thing to demonize go after the "yo-yo nigga nigga gangsta" crap pushed on them by white so-called entertainment industry execs.

We've gone thru this charade before --- it's the Red States with the highest murder rates:

[taxslave]

Stands to reason that the largest cities have the highest murder rates. They have THE HIGHEST POPULATION DENSITY.

By contrast, many of those Southern states with high murder rates have low population density. Still, proportionately speaking, they have higher murder rates.

What a piece of crap. Go by homicides alone and it's all blue in cities run by dems.

 

[petros]

Wally. I never knew you were a fan of Gangsta Rap?

Poor hate filled Wally - he just can't handle the truth.

And except for Tennessee, Oklahoma and Arkansas (Clinton's home state:lol.....they are all more safe than they were in '91...<from your link>8O

Let me guess... Atlanta, Houston, Miami, New Orleans...

Uh huh.

Jackass statement!?

These places have been lock solid Democrat for years. The inner cities didn't suddenly vote out the GOP so the Democrats could fix their problem with gun violence.

Locutus was right on... the worst schools, most violent crime, most squalor, most corruption are in inner cities and are under complete Democrat control and have been for MANY years.
