Friends -

Seven of the top ten states with the highest murder rates in the country are "red" states.

And what are Republican governors like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott doing about it? They are actually making it easier for people who shouldn't own guns to have them.

It's no wonder Fred Guttenberg — a parent of one of the children who died during the shooting in Parkland, Florida — called Ron DeSantis "weak, pathetic, and small."

Please watch this clip and share it widely. I don't think most people know cities like Jacksonville and Orlando have a much higher murder rate than cities like San Francisco — no matter what Republicans say.

Tweet from Gavin Newsom: 'Florida had one of the worst mass shootings in American history. 17 children brutally MURDERED, 17 more shot down in Parkland. Parkland parents pleaded with Ron to address gun violence. And what did he do? Ron ROLLED BACK common sense gun safety measures. Shameful.'

California has some of the strongest gun laws in the country, and as a result, we have some of the lowest per-capita gun death rates in the country. What we have done here works.

It's time to do it nationally.

California kills children with abortion instead of guns.

And the top 10 cities (actually more like 25) with the highest murder rates are run by democrats - and have been for years.

Now consider this, Corn Pop: Who is responsible for managing the police in those cities? The state Governor or the Mayor/City Councils?

We have been through this. It is the large Democrat controlled cities that cause the high murder rate.

What police?? Didn't they defund them all in California yet? It sure looked like that was the goal!

How can places that have defunded their police departments expect that crime will not go up??? It's just plain common sense that would happen!!

Instead of getting rid of deadwood policemen and women who corrupt the system, they get rid of good, solid crime-fighting people in places where they are greatly needed. What kind of stupidity is that?

These are the major cities that have significantly defunded their police departments (many smaller cities and towns have defunded their police departments, as well):

Detroit
Chicago
Los Angeles
Las Vegas
Dallas
Boston
Seattle
Denver
New York City
Philadelphia
San Francisco
Washington DC
Minneapolis
Baltimore
Portland, Oregon

And your answer explains it all.
So if your pregnant wife is punched in the stomach and loses the fetus you will not be upset at all.
After all it ain’t a baby….

Your answer shows the whole world what demon possession looks and sounds like.

Liberty Tree

The US Code identifies them as an unborn child as do 38 states that make it a crime to harm them through an illegal crime. One can even be charged with murder for causing their death.

Those red states with high murder rates have large blue cites where most of the murders occur. DUH!!!
