A study conducted by the CAP Action Fund challenges GOP narratives that progressive policies stoke crime in cities. The study found that cities with the highest firearm homicide rates are clustered in the South, generally in red states with less restrictive gun laws. This refutes the claim that progressive policies are responsible for the crime rates in these cities. The findings also contradict reports that blue counties have higher murder rates than red counties. The study highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between gun laws and crime rates in the United States.
Another absurd study from @amprog. The @GunDeaths data overwhelmingly relies on news reports, so it tells you more about how crime is covered by the media in different cities. The results for all murders are different for 2021. https://t.co/fIqq6QKF7b #2A #guns #gun #crime https://t.co/ZJ1yywMzfK
