I'm being generous by including governors here because the gun legislation comes from the state houses and senates, and not out of the governor's mansion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I realize you post this to slant the info but if you want to be accurate you would need to break your graph down farther. How many of these gun deaths come from big cities? Big cities are where you find your gangs, unlawful gun owners and most of your gun related deaths.

Motor City Sonics Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Do you ever think about what you would do if you were in a normal situation and started hearing shooting? Like when you are in a grocery store if you heard it from the other side of the building how you would get out? I think about that all the time. Ever since the Station nightclub fire in Rhode Island (The Great White fire), I ALWAYS check to see where the closest exits are whenever I go to a concert. That place was fully engulfed in less than 5 minutes and most of the people died because everyone went to one exit which got jammed. One of the audience members ran towards the stage and THROUGH the initial fire because he knew there was an open exit at the back of the stage and snow banks on the ground outside, he did not get seriously burned and lived. Wish I didn't have to think about such things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfife Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 That the cities in red states is seen as an indictment on Democrats is quite hilarious. Like those cities aren't in those states and subject to the laws of those states. Why aren't red state governments enacting policies at the state level do deal with issues within their states? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's firearms deaths by state, and political affiliation of their legislatures. It's all very straightforward information. What part do you not believe?

I never think about it, and I live in THE bogeyman city. Public mass shootings are so rare it's not even worth gaming out what to do if it happens. The only sure thing that happens during a mass shooting is chaos. Your only job is to hide or get the hell out of the way. You don't want to be the guy who starts shooting at a perp and ends up killing a bystander by complete accident. You wouldn't want that on your soul.

As I've often complained on this board, particularly during COVID, the red state I live in has worked overtime to try and take authorities away from County Judges and Mayors and vest more power in the state. So yeah, there's absolutely no problem in ensuring that the state gets their fair share of the blame in terms of outcomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
