Statistics are fun. You can pretty much make them say what you want them to say.

The States don't run the big cities.
Especially in Democrat cities.
Illinois/Chicago is a good example.
Michigan legislature is Republican / Detroit Democrat

With Democrats and lefties, it is always going to be the same line:
"Gun Control"
Ever stop to think that is why they run crime cities?
Problem Reaction Solution???
Block grants are large chunks of money given to state and local authorities by the federal government for general purposes such as public enforcement, law enforcement or community development. They usually have few strings attached to them and give a lot of discretion to the local and state governments in how to spend the money.

Oh yeah??? Well, I'm not calling for gun control. In fact I didn't even know this thread was about gun control. I thought it was about city crime rates.

Here we have a story that takes some FBI crime statistics and shows the most dangerous U.S. cities are actually heavy Democrat pockets !!
Somebody needs to get to the bottom of the root causes of high crime in America and why it happens in certain areas and not others.
I bet these Democrat cities are also heavy with the regulations.
They're also heavy with the crime-culture and nobody seems to be able to solve the problems even though the wars on crime have been in progress for decades.
Somebody must be benefiting from all this chaos.
What are the *REAL* reasons for "failure & flop" governments ?
Why are "Gun Control" measures "failing & flopping" so badly ?
Democrats Run The Highest Crime Cities in America
(story from Nov 2014)
The cities with populations over 200,000 ranked as the most dangerous are:
Detroit, MI - Mayor Mike Duggan - DEMOCRAT
Oakland, CA - Mayor Jean Quan - DEMOCRAT
Memphis, TN - Mayor A C Wharton - DEMOCRAT
St. Louis, MO - Mayor Francis G. Slay - DEMOCRAT
Cleveland, OH - Mayor Frank G. Jackson - DEMOCRAT
Baltimore, MD - Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake - DEMOCRAT
Milwaukee, WI - Mayor Tom Barrett - DEMOCRAT
Birmingham, AL - Mayor William A. Bell - DEMOCRAT
Newark, NJ - Mayor Ras Baraka - DEMOCRAT
Kansas City, MO - Mayor Sly James - Independent (but probably a DEMOCRAT)
Well ?
What's the EXCUSES now?
