Guns

[nyyfan555]

Please tell me you've seen brett's brainless arguments on why having the DH exclusively be an AL thing was an unfair advantage....to the NL. The guy is simply a ****ing idiot, regardless of the topic at hand (not counting favorite pizza toppings).

Not surprisingly, metro areas in red states take the prize in the top 50 cities..

Yep. But he's not going to read that because he's got in ingrained in his very being that guns are good no matter how much evidence is posted to the contrary.

Nuance isn't some people's forte. Didn't BOP spend like 2 pages talking about how Pete Rose was a better hitter than Tony Gwynn?

Sounds about right.

It's just funny to me, that the GOP constantly jumps on Chicago as being this liberal war zone, when there are MANY red state cities ahead of it, and even a few liberal cities like Washington DC.

Like go whine about the gun violence in St Louis and Kansas City, or the gun violence in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Because it's exponentially higher than Chicago.

There is just this closed minded mentality inside the conservative party. They refuse to accept any data that conflicts with their beliefs. I used to be similar. Or more so, I just didn't go look for myself, I listened to talk radio like Michael Savage and Walton and Johnson, and lived in an environment full of republicans. Seriously, the moment I started just looking up data on my own, I was shocked at how wrong I was, and how wrong the GOP was with their constant claims. And furthermore, their tactics.

In addition to calling out how obviously wrong they are about the Chicago narrative with respect to the data and statistics, we have to call them out on their motivation for spreading that nonsense. They know who their primary audience is. Their goal is to paint non-white people as violent criminals without saying directly. This helps the poor uneducated whites feel superior. That does of dopamine keeps them voting red. They know that they have the vote of upper middle, upper, and ultra wealthy whites (tax loopholes and such). But to get that all important uneducated and poor white vote, they have to play the culture war games constantly. It's why we never see them campaign on actual policy. The only policy they actually carry out when in power is anything that helps to further enrich the already rich.

So the democratic areas win the prize. Thanks!

It's been done. But your puppetmasters continue to scream Chicago for some reason, which is why your best response to data already provided is "nOw dO iT bY cItIeS"

Viewing that list you can see that the majority of those cities are in red states where gun laws are very weak.

Viewing the list you can see it's democratic cities. Congrats missing that again.
You're a denier.

And a comment on not understanding baseball without saying it. Thanks!

The data shows the Republicans are right. These are democratic cities. Will you keep denying that fact?

A 10-year-old Wisconsin boy has been charged as an adult with first-degree reckless homicide after he fatally shot his mother, telling police he was upset she wouldn’t let him buy a virtual reality headset on Amazon.*

The shooting unfolded at 6:50 a.m. Nov. 21 in the 7400 block of North 87th Street in Milwaukee.

Just a day later, the boy went on to buy an Oculus Virtual Reality Headset on his dead mother's Amazon account and even asked his grandmother whether his package had arrived, according to the criminal complaint.

State laws override local ordinances. Red states with loose gun laws affect even the blue counties and cities within.

Guns are the problem.

We need better education to prevent more bretts in this country.

If you want to call 15-18/100,000 a win, sure.

But yes, tighter gun restrictions=less guns=less gun violence.

Less guns=less gun violence.

This is a fact.

in red states, with red gun laws. Thanks for trying though

repeat: red states, with red gun laws. Metro areas inside blue states, with tighter gun restrictions, have less gun violence.

While I don't expect you to follow the bouncing ball, the GOP rhetoric on this subject are ridiculously false.

States set gun laws. Not cities.

And yet the Democratic cities are the worst.
