dbergh, Your post is errant nonsense. A more ill-considered promotion of
Trump's agenda and anti-Walz claptrap one could hardly find. And you lie:

"I see it in Minnesota the state is a disaster we are getting flooded with migrants
and the Taxes are going Up and Up to pay for them . Crime is out of control .
the media only reports on what they can't cover up "

Guns are increasingly driving violent crime in Minnesota

* According to FBI data, violent crime in Minnesota remains well below the national average. In fact, property crimes in the state—which include all larceny, burglary, arson, and motor vehicle thefts—dropped 15 percent from 2015 to 2021.

* Yet the state homicide rate, while still among the nation’s lowest, has surged in recent years. This is largely due to an increase in gun violence:

------ * According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) mortality data, the share of murders committed in Minnesota with a firearm has increased 27 percent in the past decade.

------ * More Minnesotans died from guns in 2021 than in any year in the past two decades.

* Guns are also driving increases in other types of violent crime:

------ * The share of guns used as weapons in aggravated assaults rose 69 percent since 2015.
------ * The share of guns used as weapons in robberies rose 52 percent since 2015.

Rural Minnesotans face a higher risk of dying from guns than residents of the Twin Cities

It appears i owe Zorax an apology about you. It looks clear now you are a Trump
flunky, and not simply a struggling straggler as i thought perhaps you were.
