I'll bet if you do a little more research, you will undoubtedly find that the areas in these republican states where most gun violence occurs are in cities and counties under democrat control.Frankly my community is just fine. I have no idea about the politics of the town council as they run as individuals, not part of a party. But random violence is occurring in many places. And actually there is a higher chance (on a per capita basis) of harm happening to people due to gun violence in states where Republicans are in the majority. The South is a particularly deadly state when it comes to that. (If you want me to cite that fact, I am happy to but you can google it yourself if you don’t believe me.)
Sporting events aren’t generally a risky place because just about everyone I go to requires attendees to pass through metal detectors!
