The 2nd link hasn't been updated to July yet...

Probably news to Trumptoids on the forum since they'll never see it reported on MAGA media, just like the covid stats...

Look at the breakdown of law and order in the cities.
How many of these city people with guns shooting each other in their every day shooting galleries are Trump voters? 10%? 5%?
In San Francisco breaking into cars is redistribution rather than criminal acts. A mayor said the taking over of parts of Seattle is just part of a summer of love. If some of the 1619 Project believe looting is not violence, then crime is no longer crime.
Progressives have damaged deterrence with a year of anti-police venom.
Big city cops weigh cost-to-benefit and going into the inner city is lose/lose/lose. A 911 call can get an officer killed, injured, fired, suspended, imprisoned, or rendered a fool as the arrested are let go. Yeah, sure, let progressives handle crime.

"Trump voters don't get the news? NO, THEY DON'T.
"It is people like you that hide in your cocoon insulated from all but your narrow perspective of news that can't see a larger picture."
The cocoon is Faux news and the rest of MAGA media that presents opinion commentary as fact. 
And who is it the opposes any form of gun control legislation like background checks and licensure for gun ownership? Who sponsors the "constitutional carry" like the insanity passed and signed by Abbott in Texas? Look no more than your nearest red state and MAGA media for your answers on that one.
"Big city cops weigh cost-to-benefit and going into the inner city is lose/lose/lose." Thanks to idiots like Derek Chauvin...

Chauvin is one in a million.

Hmm, looks like the states with the most firearms-caused deaths are Republican states...

What crap. Try again.

The CDC stats are crap? That's what the Trumptoids said about the covid stats, too...

What a surprise.

And you're wrong.
What a surprise...

Of course you wouldn't. All you equate gun violence with is "the inner city". That's all you think about it.  Texas has had plenty of gun murders so it doesn't have to be an "inner city". And having a lack of checks and licensure along with the "constitutional carry" nonsense hasn't helped...

It is stupid of you to believe that. You think you know what the person debating you believes. You don't.

Lol! Just look at your own posts in this thread!
