It came from FB, so it must be true.

According to this, there were 80 firearm related murders in all in Wisconsin in 2011.

No idea how that is considered high.

There was a negative number of people killed in Vermont with a gun because everyone carries one so they are too scared to use them. It's like nuclear bombs. The ultimate deterrent. They keep us safe. Thank God for Vermont. A guiding light. Leading the way.

If you need to know more I'm sure our Texan Vermonter will be only too pleased to preach another sermon to you.

I think Herschel depends on people taking his posts at face value. Once they start doing their own research, they find out they're usually BS

Yup. If it's on facebook, it cannot be questioned.

No research necessary on that one. You can just look at it and tell it's not right.

Actually, in studying Urban Sociology, you learn that the highest incidents of violence occur not in the urban centers, but in the less populated rural areas, per every 100,000 people. That is just a "fun fact". I agree that crime is higher in the more concentrated urban areas. It is only when you get to a place like Switzerland wehre there is a gun in almost every home that I think it impacts the gun violence any by owning them.

Heavily populated areas go blue. Populated area = more people = more guns = more violence. What a surprise!

Once again your post is misleading. This doesn't say anything, let alone EVERYTHING.

Another of Herschel's "post and run" posts when people debunk it.

No I am here, I was just waiting for someone to actually posts a fact that debunks it

Of course you are. People should do the research for you, right? Maybe you should do it before you post something from Facebook that you thought made your point.

Look at all that gun violence in Wisconsin on your map. Yet ... Wisconsin had 80 firearm related murders in 2011. 80. And on your "map of facts" ... that's considered "high incidents"? Come on.

But anyway, like I said, the more populated the area, the more crime there will be. You don't need some silly map to tell you that, do you?

Probably half of those are suicides because the Packers didn't make it to the Super Bowl that year.

I can't see the picture since I am at work. What are we looking at?

A map that shows "FBI statistics" on gun violence in red and blue. Red = low incidents of gun violence. Blue = high incidents of gun crime.

And then some genius decided to compare it with red and blue sections of the 2012 election map.

According to Nature Boy, this piece of artwork was "all that needed to be said about gun violence" and that Democrats shouldn't own guns.

Or something.

You're just mad cause you can't "debunk" it.
