My thought is I wonder why johnforbes takes an average state for gun deaths like Illinois and thinks it is somehow more terrible than the 26 other states that have even more gun deaths per 100,000 people each year.
And the bulk of those having even more gun deaths per yer per 100,000 people are largely Republican run states with Republican gun laws. Gee, what do these states have in common?
So why not start a thread about Mississippi, Louisiana, Wyoming, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, or any of the other Republican states where people die at 50-100% greater rate from shootings than in Illinois?
And the answer is that those other horrible, more dangerous states are mostly run by Republicans, so hypocrite johnforbes isn't at all surprised at the high level of shootings in those states. Gunfire is just how Republicans settle disagreements I guess. It's pretty funny that he is only surprised enough to start a thread when a Democrat-run state has even a moderate rate of shooting deaths.
