Therefore, strict gun laws only lead to more shooting deaths. Are you happy these horrible shootings didn't happen in open carry states where citizens are feeling really safe?
Over the past year and a half, violent crime, particularly homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault,
has skyrocketed in
NYC (44% spike),
Los Angeles (250% jump in one week last June),
Milwaukee (95% jump in homicides),
Minneapolis (72% spike in homicides),
Chicago (34% increase over the previous year - 2020 - shooting incidents up by 45%),
Philadelphia (violent crime up 57% over previous year, homicides up 24% - a 30 year high.),
Louisville (homicides up 99%),
Atlanta (homicides up 58%),
Portland (shooting incidents up 116%, homicides up 93%),
and similar stats for many other big cities.
Overall, nationwide, violent crime has increased 33% over the last year and a half.
There is a commonality in this, something is connecting all the dots,
What is it?
