re: Louisiana ranks fourth for the most gun deaths per capita in the country

The news assured me that most of our gun problems are because of backwoods rednecks in southern states.

did they?

“Data shows that a lot of our gun deaths are from our youths,” Jackson said. “They’re getting access to guns illegally. They’re breaking into cars, they’re retrieving these weapons, most of them have been taken off the streets. We find that they have been stolen.”

Hunters and outdoorsman like guns. A state known for and surrounded by Hunters and Outdoorsman deals in lots of guns. Breaking News at 11.

---

I'd be willing to bet that hunters and outdoorsman have violent crime rates well below the national average.

One day, the leftist dumbasses will be able to see clearly and they'll realize how badly they fricked up.

Oh well. Then deal with the problem and gun deaths will fall.

This guy just almost gets there and then he starts blaming regular citizens for having guns and them being stolen. If he would have stuck to the facts, young black males are committing felony burglaries and then shooting each other over bullshite, he would have been golden.

---

So he's not golden because he didn't say that it's black males doing it That's how you end up screwing yourself because someone asks what percentage of the gun deaths come from black males who stole guns and you don't know the number. There was need for him to comment on race in that statement. I think most can read between the lines.

The fact that they are cracking down on it is actually surprising to me. Good, they need to. But there is basically a cop shortage in Shreveport, especially compared to Bossier, but I don't blame anybody for not wanting to be a cop there.

what are some variables we can plot that against?

Well that just can't be true. Some very smart gun control advocates told me the reason the murder rate in the southside of Chicago is so high is because the murderers are going to Bill's firearms in Indiana where they have easy access to guns.

Maybe if we shutdown Jim's Firearms in BR the murder rate will drop immediately? Right?

Can someone overlay these cities on justicemap?

The state rankings are based on 2017 data according to linked study in article.
