Yes.
And for years, the average murder rate in Baltimore was more than 1/day.
And yet, you keep arguing against ANY approaches to fix this.
you don't read too many of my posts, huh. I am strongly in favor of fixing the violent crime problem in this country. Step 1 is to recognize the problem.
I feel we need to step up police support, not defund police, I feel we need to provide better economic opportunities and better education in low income areas, like Trump Economic opportunity Zones program. And we need to keep violent criminals in jail, no more cashless bail or income based bail for violent offenders. Banning pistol stocks or AR-15s won't make any difference
No, I DO read your posts. You follow the NRA playbook, by the letter.
As for police - if you want to make a difference, end police unions. They do NOT make us safer.

I really DO try to cite legitimate, scientific sources for the ideas I promote here.
