Stop gun violence.

[Tycer]

Lott strikes again!

“There are vast swathes of the country where violent crime is very, very rare, and small areas of the country where it is common.”

how about the guillotine?

[GunnyMack]

Yep I say hang me in town square ! Or start like the Muslim countries used to do, caught stealing ya loose a hand. That would let the peaceful public know who was not on the up & up. Caught a second time and the other hand goes, then is when a body finds out who it's REAL friends are!

As usual, the libtards screw things up, then blame the conservatives, and when a libtard 'solution' makes things worse, instead of admitting it, they demand more of the same failing policies.

AmBraCol, I'd love to get that as a bumper sticker/magnet and stick it on the back of my truck and drive around in heavy traffic in the SF Bay Area and Sacramento!

Here. Let me post a nugget
First, he focused on county-level data rather than national data. Some of the dramatic results he found:

The worst five counties (Cook, Los Angeles, Harris, Philadelphia, and New York) accounted for about 15 percent of homicides.
The worst 1 percent of counties (31), with 21 percent of the US population, accounted for 42 percent of the homicides.
The worst 2 percent of counties (62), with 31 percent of the population, accounted for 56 percent of the homicides.
The worst 5 percent of counties (155), with 47 percent of the population, accounted for 73 percent of the homicides.
In contrast, over half of US counties (52 percent) had zero homicides in 2020, and roughly one-sixth of the counties (16 percent) had only one.
Continuing his investigation, Lott looked at even finer-scale zip code data for Los Angeles County. He found that the worst 10 percent of zip codes in the county accounted for 41 percent of the homicides, and the worst 20 percent accounted for a total of 67 percent of the homicides.

From such data, Lott concluded that: “Murder isn’t a nationwide problem.” Instead, “It’s a problem in a small set of urban areas, and even in those counties murders are concentrated in small areas inside them, and any solution must reduce those murders.”

This is fantastic data Tycer. Thanks for sharing!!!
