The left has this habit of twisting arguments like a circus contortionist. Often, they’ll twist to the point of proving their own position false (read Black Man Conducts Dress-Up Experiment to Prove ‘Racism.’ Does the Opposite…). Take, for instance, the issue of gun violence. Everyone knows leftists have an unrivaled hatred of the lead-slingers. The Guardian decided to pull out the numbers on gun violence and unwittingly screwed their whole argument…
The nonprofit Gun Violence Archive, which began tracking shootings and gun deaths using media reports, began to collect geolocation data for each incident – allowing, for the first time, a nationwide look at the precise geographic concentration of gun homicides.
We found that the toll of gun violence in America is dramatically concentrated. Thousands of cities and towns in the United States saw gun homicides in 2015. But the majority of them suffered only a single incident.
Half of America’s gun homicide victims died in just 127 cities that represent less than a quarter of the nation’s population. Within those cities, gun homicides were further concentrated in tiny neighborhood census tracts that had seen multiple gun homicide incidents.
So, gun violence is concentrated in gang-ridden cities where nobody gives a rat’s keister about the law? Nice rhetoric, Guardian. Way to shoot yourselves in the foot, there. Puns. Rhymes with guns. These are the jokes.
