Analysis: States with the most gun violence share one trait — CNN Politics

There's one thing that is indisputable in the available data on gun violence: Where there are more guns, there are more gun deaths. This is true despite Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's attempt to explain away gun deaths by comparing them to gun violence in Chicago.

But there’s nothing we can do because they’re mentally ill. Meanwhile, Texas is last in the nation in funding mental healthcare.

I’ve been in Mexico for 5 weeks this year and I’ve never felt the least bit afraid. Stay out of the cartels’ business and you’ll never have a problem.

Its the same as Cape Town. If you know which areas the avoid, its heaven on Earth.

I would be too stressed to return to the States at this point. I will live in my little bubble here for now. The randomness of the violence is the scary bit.

Seriously, guns are for pu$$ies and the mentally deranged. In the US, gun culture is a mental disorder.

54% of all gun deaths were suicides? Over half? Thats mind boggling.

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a rise in gun violence, and in January, a CNN analysis found 10 of the nation’s most populous cities set homicide records last year, mostly because of guns. The cities were: Philadelphia; Austin, Texas; Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis; Portland, Oregon; Memphis, Tennessee; Louisville, Kentucky; Milwaukee; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Tucson, Arizona.

I thought Austin was some laid back hippie town. Indianapolis in at #4

Indy was setting records last year but it was skewed by the mass shooting at fedex and a couple other mass shootings involving family situations.

Like with how small Uvalde is, with this shooting it’d be equivalent to Indy having like 1,400 homicides in a year.

Also, murders is a less useful stat than shootings. The difference between a shooting causing injury and one causing death can be fractions of an inch and/or prompt medical care. I’d rather be in a place with 100 shootings with 100 deaths vs one with 1,000 shootings a 10 deaths.

With that said, the violence in Indy is really sad. It was only like 15 years ago we were seeing years with “only” around 100 murders per year
