Reply to comment by CablePicker in The Heritage Foundation data sources contradict its report that the US city with the 30th highest rate of homicide was 2.4 / 100K. One of their referenced sources- "CHR&R" (footnote 25) - has more than 1K counties with higher homicide rates. Here's that data. Relevant links are in the comments. [OC] by quantuminous

Lol, I think you're the one that has trouble understanding things.

I think you're just a bit thick mate. Maybe go donate some money to the heritage foundation.

That's 100% what the heritage foundation has engineered here but that's not what it actually shows. If you looks at places that vote heavily for Biden but have sensible gun laws like NY, Cali, Mass, Connecticut, etc you'll see that Biden districts are actually less violent than Trump districts in spite of other factors like poverty.

Because counties have essentially no influence over concealed carry licenses.or how easy it is to buy a gun. They also have very little influence over public policy in general.

What you'll see at the state level is that states that enact nra backed policies consistently have not only higher rates of murder with a gun per Capita but also higher murder and suicide rates as a result. Also states that enact things like constitutional carry consistently see a spike in murder rates and gun violence.

This makes Biden districts look more violent but it would be more accurate to say that being poor in a red state is a better indicator.
