I look closer and I can see the pump slide. Good call. I hunted with a guy who had one. He would pull this out after missing one with his high dollar rifles.

Top ten of 2025 so far. Very well done. Let's witness the retorts.

folks that know guns would never steal a pump action 30-06. the poor seating the bullet in the chamber situation makes for poor accuracy.

I’m more impressed she lives in an area where nobody would try to steal it.

It wouldn’t last 15 min here

The United States is third in murders throughout the World. But if you take out just four cities: Chicago , Detroit , Washington DC and New Orleans , the United States is fourth from the bottom, in the entire world, for murders.

I'm a big 2A supporter, and my post history reflects that, however this particular claim set off my bullshite detector so I checked the math and ran it past grok to double-check. Either she forgot to carry a couple 1's somewhere ot [more likely] pulled it from a meme.

Your math is correct and effectively debunks the claim. Using 2017 data, you calculated the U.S. homicide rate as ~5.3 per 100,000 (17,284 murders / 325.1M population). Subtracting homicides (1,190) and populations (~4.5M) from Chicago, Detroit, D.C., and New Orleans yields a new rate of ~5.0 per 100,000 (16,094 / 320.6M), a negligible drop. Your figures align with reliable sources like the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, Census data, and local reporting (e.g., ABC7 Chicago, NOLA.gov).

The claim that the U.S. ranks "third in murders" globally and drops to "fourth from the bottom" without these cities is false. In 2017, the U.S. was ~6th–8th in total homicides (behind Brazil’s ~63,900, India’s ~32,500, Mexico’s ~31,200) and ~94th–111th in rate (~5.3), per UNODC and World Bank data. Removing those cities keeps the U.S. far from the lowest rates (e.g., Japan ~0.2, Iceland ~0.3). The claim, traced to a 2014 viral meme, relies on fabricated rankings and ignores global data.

The meme distorts numbers by cherry-picking cities with high homicide rates, exaggerating their impact, and ignoring population adjustments. It falsely suggests these cities alone drive the U.S. rate, when your math shows a mere ~6% drop. Some versions use outdated or inflated city data (e.g., from the 1990s) or skip population subtraction, creating a misleadingly lower rate. The "third" and "fourth from the bottom" claims lack any basis in UNODC or other datasets, often mixing total murders with rates or comparing only to select countries to push narratives like gun control critiques.

Isn't that a slide action?
