Violence is on the rise across this country. Murder rates are up dramatically during the pandemic. Most people associate gun violence and rising murder rates with urban areas that are disproportionately African American or Latino. But violence is not color-coded. If it were, the war between Russia and Ukraine would be labeled white violence.

The premise on which this article is based, is WRONG.
Access to guns has NOT risen. Not at all.

“Mississippi has by far the highest murder rate in the country, followed by Louisiana. Mississippi’s murder rate is a stunning 400% higher than that of New York and 250% higher than that of California.”
Even just this statement is a complete misnomer. Once you take out black on black homicides in Louisiana and Mississippi, you likely end up with homicide rates probably at or lower than New York or California. And why doesn’t he mention Maine or New Hampshire or the Dakotas or Montana in this article?

Defunding the police?
Police too afraid to confront criminals?
DAs paid by Soros dumping criminals without bail?
No, it’s guns.

which came first, chicken or egg? Gun sales are up, up, up, BECAUSE violent crime is allowed to go unchecked.

Black male behavior is responsible for a ridiculous amount of crime, not “guns”.

When a cop kills a black person, blame the cop and whites in general.
When a black kills anyone, blame the gun.
The left essentially believes that blacks completely lack impulse control and a soul.

Access to guns is rising!? You could buy them by mail when I was a kid. If I recall, they were in the Sears catalog. (Granted I was a kid at the end of the bronze age, but still...by mail!)

Gun violence rises as access to guns rises Gun ownership rises as access to God-given freedom diminishes.
Gun violence to government will increase as government tyranny increases.

"violence is not color-coded"
Check the statistics. Every white legal citizen of the U.S. is considered a boogeyman to the Left, a danger to democracy, and always on the verge of a violent rampage to overthrow the government. But which groups are actually committing most of the violent crimes?

“Access to guns has NOT risen. Not at all.”
True and true! Those leftist pigs love the false premise.
