Cities aren’t violent. People can be violent & cities are packed with people. TN makes it easy for violent people to find, steal & buy guns. Thus more armed violent people in urban areas. But most gun deaths in TN are suicides. A suicide attempt by firearm rarely fails.
@AllisonGormanTN Saw this a couple of days ago.....so eloquently said. Not directly related to guns, but the guns become a 'voice' to express hopelessness and anger
@AllisonGormanTN 84% of homicides occur in Democrat enclaves. More than half of homicides are concentrated in just 2% of US counties. California has all of the gun control Democrats want yet leads the nation in homicides and mass shootings. The problem is obvious and it isn't guns.
@AllisonGormanTN People are violent where they think they can get away with it. And where might that be? Democrat run cities.
@AllisonGormanTN There are more armed violent people on the streets in blue cities because they're allowed to be. Imagine if Democrats had the original thought to enforce the laws on the books instead.
@AllisonGormanTN Actually suburban and rural (Republican) cities and counties have much higher firearm ownership rates than Democrat cities.
@AllisonGormanTN You should spend more time In Memphis and see if that changes your mind, Allison.
@AllisonGormanTN Cities allowing the bad behavior are violent. Most of the crimes committed have unlawful possession of a firearm.
@AllisonGormanTN And taking away the gun from someone who's chosen that doesn't magically 'cure' them, nor save them. They still have access to the 40+ knives in the kitchen, their cars, gravity....
