Urban Areas With High Obama Voting Base Have High Percentage of Murders?

America Doesn’t Have a Gun Problem, It Has a Gang Problem

quote:

These cities are the heartland of America’s real gun culture. It isn’t the bitter gun-and-bible clingers in McCain and Romney territory who are racking up a more horrifying annual kill rate than Al Qaeda; it’s Obama’s own voting base...

...A breakdown of the Chicago killing fields shows that 83% of those murdered in Chicago last year had criminal records. In Philly, it’s 75%. In Milwaukee it’s 77% percent. In New Orleans, it’s 64%. In Baltimore, it’s 91%. Many were felons who had served time. And as many as 80% of the homicides were gang related.


This demonstrates that these people were already breaking existing laws, because they could not legally be in possession of a firearm having a criminal record.

So when Piers Morgan is citing 'his' statistics, there may be a few things that he overlooked.

The only thing that the commenter failed to cite while demonstrating that Morgan is a factually inept buffoon, was the percentage of murders done by gang members on other gang members, or innocent citizens during a criminal act.

The gun murder rate statistics for the US are skewed towards sensationalism as is all data.
That is because more action is taken as a result of sensationalized (emotional) events than is taken as a result of objective data.
It is a shame, but people make emotional decisions far more often than rational ones.
