U.S. is in the 98th percentile in murders around the world. Remove 5 cities, 2 percentile.

Seems like there may be something else other than gun laws too.

There are no gun laws in Louisiana anymore. We became a Constitutional Carry state this past July.

bullshite.

How many murders total in those cities a year? ~2500?

You think thats enough to shift us from top 2% (thats actually the biggest piece of obvious horseshite) of murders to the bottom 2%? Subtracting 2500 or so killings?

This country just keeps getting worse and worse, we aren't even the best in murders.

I used to get so pissed in math class when I'd get points off for not showing my work enough. Now, I appreciate that process so much more.

So the obvious question is...


How do we remove these 5 cities from the US?

what are the "strict" gun laws of New Orleans?


They should lump Nola and BR together. We'd probably be even higher on the list.

There are still gun laws. They are just not enforced.

In New Orleans a man convicted of murder out on parole was carrying a fully automatic machine gun on Canal street just after a mass shooting. The DA released him on low bail the next morning and it took the feds to indict him.

WWL

New Gun Laws are the biggest lie in the world as WOKE DAs in the places they pass will not punish offenders.

The violent crime rate in American cities, like other locales in the same boat, are not a reflection of policy; they are a symptom of either a lack of power or a purposeful retreat from it.

It’s not even 2000. Being factual wasn’t the intent of that Twitter post
