This is the right direction, except there would be no livestock pulling the wagons, they produce too much methane, it would be the democrat constituents pulling the wagons.

None of them are aimed at mental health resources. You need actual financing for that, and in Oklahoma that money is reserved for the oil oligarchs' luxury priorities.

"oil oligarchs" I keep applying for that job but haven't gotten an interview yet.

And some people like to spin information and pretend they are facts.

What I am seeing from all your liberal resources are the inclusion of all gun deaths, not specific to murder per capita. This includes self defense, accidental discharges and suicide.

I will also add this category chart of the 2020 US data from the insurance industry.

And look at who's number 1 with homicides. Maybe California should make that illegal.

Don't ignore, just don't respond. It's kabuki theater to watch the reply's by the troll where he/she/it/them(or whatever pronoun he/she/it/them wish to go by) accuses others of false statements, yet never produces links to repudiate them.

I think its a bot, and I think it should be banned.

Since the bot is from Norman, I wonder if it’s one of the arrogant professor bots (self-proclaimed) that posted here in the past. There were 2 (self-proclaimed) self righteous bots that I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh, you live here! My mistake. Of course I should have known. You think I would have picked up on the residency given that I've been a member of the forum for 16 years and you joined about 9 months ago.

I'm getting my money's worth today on amusing comments....that is for sure.

Yeppers, a member since 2006, however your comment numbers are way low for someone that has been such a long time member.

Oh, but you will probably state that you only "read" comments rather than make them...

...or at least up until recently. Now, you seem to be quite prolific, although obdurate.

This thread has been . . . interesting.

No offense man, but looking at the total does not paint the whole picture. Yes, California has the highest homicide rate, but the fact they have the highest population rate, its not hard to see. In fact, the top three in this list are also the top three in population, and two of those are red if not light purple states with less restrictive gun laws. Thats why you need to look at homicide rates per capita. Thats why DC, which has one of the lowest population rates (ranked 49th out of 51) has the highest gun homicide per capita.

I understand the per capita math. I don’t have the data readily available for cities. If we look at the per capita by city, we will see that there are very large numbers coming out of places like Chicago, LA, Philadelphia etc, and the state per capita numbers are skewed and lowered by the remaining cities in the state. The state per capita argument is not really valid. Let’s look at it by city.

Neither. You can call me someone who correctly calls out republican anti-**** hypocrisy and is able to actually back it up, instead of just spew nonsense.

Your 60% quote in no way refutes anything I said, just so you know.

Love the baseless communist accusation you made to a prior field grade U.S. military officer, though. That was especially cute.

So you're telling us you did get your field-grade lobotomy, right?

The Federal Government’s Own Study Concluded Its Ban on 'Assault Weapons' Didn't Reduce Gun Violence | Jon Miltimore

The Department of Justice funded a study to analyze the government's previous ban on "assault weapons." The DOJ noted that decline in the use of assault weapons "was offset throughout at least the late 1990s by steady or rising use of other guns.”

Gun Control Comes from a Place of Privilege | Patrick Carroll

When underprivileged people worry about crime, it’s tempting to say “just call the cops.” But this isn’t actually helpful advice. It just demonstrates how little we know about their circumstances and how unqualified we are to speak to their issues.

The Myth That the US Leads the World in Mass Shootings | Jon Miltimore

Widely circulated comments and data seem to conclusively say that the US leads the world in mass shootings and the violence is unique, a product of “America’s gun culture.” It’s a slam dunk case except for one thing: it’s not true.
