I also love when ppl say these mattering ppl are only victims of poverty and are lashing out. Odd. Trailer parks aren't exactly known for their wealth. They are however known for their poverty, alcoholism and meth use, and yet still somehow manage to not kill each other everyday

Lololol. Ya I’m sure the gangs don’t think the people they are shooting at are armed as well. Absurd.

I'll tell you what's absurd. Defending career criminals like George Floyd aka Saint George and other career criminal gang members as merely being "lives that matter", while they literally murder each other for wearing different color clothing (seems just), and then complaining when a cop kills one of these matterers when they pull a gun on them. THATS absurd.

In pro gun States like Texas there's actually overall less gun violence than in restrictive States like Illinois. When people know others can defend themselves they tend to be more cautious and respectful.
Not true, Texas averages 3,500 gun related deaths per year and Illinois averages 1,500 per year. Texas has 12.4 deaths per thousand while Illinois has 10.6. The highest level of gun deaths occur in Alaska, Montana, Alabama, Louisiana and Missouri.

Illinois ranked 9th to Texas 22nd in firearm homicides, the statistic that matters.

I wonder what the stats would show if you only looked at the white population in each state?

Exactly.
We need more armed law enforcement officers on the streets. Unfortunately people like you are trying to defund the police and let innocent people suffer.

Defunding the police would obviously be devastating to high crime areas. I’m amazed that white kids from comfortable, low crime neighborhoods like @rickyb still aren’t being called out for trying to pull the rug out from under black communities just to make themselves feel good about being so woke.

I know the typical fallback position for the BC hard lefties is that the worst of the hard leftist proposals from Bernie, AOC etc would never actually be passed into law anyway. So we need not worry about them or take them seriously. Are they really willing to gamble with black lives over the idea that defunding of the police couldn’t actually happen either? That it’s all just a virtue signaling circle jerk? Pretty amazing.

its called self determination. if you dont want cops, or want a new model, you have that right. the system as it is doesnt work too good.
