No. It makes perfect sense. ("No honor among thieves" - and other lower life forms, I suppose.)
You can't turn on the Atlanta morning news, without hearing about someone having gotten shot, overnight. I'm thinking three of four people each day.
And the shooters are consistently the ones likely to have voted for the current (Democrat) administration. If, in fact, they are allowed to vote at all.

Selecting or "clicking" on this image will enlarge it for closer inspection. The data bar for the United States is the largest . It's the one on the far right.
Source: "Gun Violence in the U.S.", Sara B. Heller and Max Kapustin (University of Michigan & NBER and Cornell University) for ECONOFACT; November 14, 2022.
https://econofact.org/gun-violence-in-the-u-s
The data bars represent homicide deaths per 100,000 people for the various sovereignties, from Australia on the far left, to the United States, on the far right.
Orange is for homicides that were "expedited" by firearms. Blue, for all other homicidal modes, such as edged weapons, sledge hammers, fists, strangulations, vehicle ramming, poisonings and what not.
In almost all of these countries, there were more gun homicides than non-gun homicides. That's why the data bars have a blue bottom and an orange top.
I'm not sure about Japan and the United Kingdom. I think there's just a sliver of orange above the blue, which I interpret as slightly more gun homicides than non-gun homicides. I'd have to drill down into the report to see if that is true. If there were fewer gun homicides than non-gun homicides, I would expect to see a bar that is orange on the bottom and blue on the top. But there could be so few gun homicides that the orange doesn't even register.
Someone said that this data is not per capita, but it is per capita. The vertical axis is homicides per 100,000 of population.
I am merely interpreting this bar graph at face value. I don't know how else anyone could interpret it, if they were just focusing on the bar graph itself and not considering any of the ancillary information that might be in the accompanying report. I am assuming that this bar graph was drawn up methodically and consistently, from "bar to bar".[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 11-24-2022).]

Calling that "left on left crime" (which are the words that I quoted from Wichita) doesn't make much sense to me.
I don't think there's information online about how criminals breakdown statistically, in terms of their political preferences, or even whether they voted or thought about politics at all.
Maybe there is. I haven't looked. But are Raydar's remarks guided by that kind of information?

Psssstttt......Rinse....
The blue is the NON-GUN....you have it bass-ackwards and downside-up.
All that chart proves is if there are no guns, folks will use something else (like the UK in the chart)[This message has been edited by MidEngineManiac (edited 11-24-2022).]

So... gun control activists are not on board with non-binaries..?
Seems like an odd connection. Why would gun control activists be inimical to non-binaries, or any more inimical towards non-binaries than most other "regular" folks?

When it comes to guns, the leftist are not 'anti-gun'. They are people who differ in thought on who should posses them.

....and why they should posses them.
Leftism; Where self-defense is replaced by control and forced obedience at the barrel of state owned guns.

Oh, I forgot. People that are not allowed to vote never do. Much less twice or more.

Right. Only things online are true. They must be. They're online.

Gone from where? No one would expect the deadly violence at Club Q in Colorado Springs or the violent incident involving Paul Pelosi to be at the very top of the news headlines for more than just a few days after they happened. Both of these incidents are still being talked about in the news, but not as the top headlines anymore.
How did memes become so important that one member posts them almost randomly, while another keeps repeating the mindless assertion that "The Left Can't Meme." As if memes have become the preferred vessel for knowledge, replacing books, research reports, video documentaries... replacing thought itself.
Is there a Meme Enders organization for people who want help?[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 11-28-2022).]
