FBI Table showing crime by weapon and state

[Rico]

I thought everyone might find this interesting by which state you live in.
Alabama looks very peaceful, and Florida is among the missing.

So pretty much, the stricter the state gun laws, the more murders there are...??

Also, they maybe should have done it by % of population... the numbers alone give a false impression...

I live in Georgia. I wish the info was broken down into counties. I suspect Atlanta and Savannah are responsible for most of the crime.

Pennsylvania...particularly Philadelphia...IS a sanctuary city.

Glad I moved NW of that Liberal Socialist Welfare bastion 17 years ago...18 February.

Grew up and lived in one of the few areas that was still clean and drug free...had a nice row home and a 4 unit duplex which I sold to buy the home I live in now...

But now, visiting my Mom and siblings down there...I see the neighborhood I once called home now changing for the worst.

I suspect that Wilmington and New Castle county in Delaware are responsible for most of the figures. I live in LSD - Lower Slower Delaware - Sussex County.

Well I'm lucky to live in the safest part of the least safe state in the Union.

In fact I live in the one safe corner of the least safe County.

You guys didn't realize I live in the county which is basically the murder capital of the United States. There's more dead farmworkers buried in those fields then you can imagine and it's basically all about marijuana.

The underground crop here in Fresno County is one of the largest in the nation.

The sheriff of our county is issuing carry licenses frequently.

( I don't have all the figures at my fingertips, but it is possible that Chicago actually has more murders. They seem to be going to hell while our sheriff and police chief have actually cleaned up Fresno city and county quite a bit this year.)
