I am not arguing for or against any gun contorl legislation but it is what it is the USA has a serious problem with gun violence incidents.
The NRA and GOP have led the way for guns to become the tool of choice to solve a problem.

Wasn't a 'comeback' ....just the facts.

While 'red' leaning folks like to blame 'blue' leaders' - they fail to acknowledge 'red' leaders have no strategy...no way of addressing the problems.

The point is..... that the violence is out of control ONLY in places run by the DEMOCRATS....for decades.

Got it?

I posted multiple links to the most violent US city lists, and there were plenty of Republican and Democrat cities on all the lists.

INo the violence is out of place in major metro centers -- that end up being mainly having blue mayors -- who have little to no real ability to set policy that can influence the easy access to guns.

"But, but, but.............I personally didn't hear any sirens!" Derp!

You progressives live in some fantasy La-La land for sure.

It's a sad fact, my hometown of Minneapolis has gotten a lot more violent and dangerous in the last couple of years, and progressive idiots are noisily standing in the way to solving the issue.
Yeah I think it’s overblown, especially when compared to other US cities which are experiencing the same rise in crime rates. However I’m not sure your narrative that liberals are in denial or lacking motivation to do something about it holds true when the city is a month away from answering a ballot question that would nuke the police department and replace it with a completely new department of public safety.

Thus the rationale why the slaughter continues.

thanks for revealing the heart of the issue, the befuddled and confused deny the reality and blame Trump and his supporters.

Remember when liberals in CA warned that if trump withheld funds for sanctuary cities, the funding would be cut for police protection and crime would rise. Oh, public safety was in jeopardy!!!!!!

Well the liberal states go defund the police, an act they previously claimed was going to increase the crime rate.

Trump offered help and liberals refused.

Trump waged a war against MS13, and Pelosi reminded us MS-13 are human beings.

Meanwhile Biden is funding the drug cartels and opening the southern border to let in tons of deadly fentanyl

Drugs and gangs are the heart of the inner city slaughter.

Interesting, every time fentanyl is typed, it gets underlined, spelling error? suggestion by algorithm is 'entangled'. Media does not want the word fentanyl to appear anywhere. An indictment of the biden administration. Protecting the political narrative at the expense of innocent lives.

In the religion of the left, their lyrical refrain to any issue, is, all together now.... 'It's Trump's fault!"

I suppose Biden is innocent by a claim of insanity.

That doesn't even make sense. What does the NRA and GOP have to do with an individual making the choice to kill another human ?
