The gun-homicide rate jumped by a whopping 35% in 2020 against the backdrop of the pandemic while gun-involved suicides remained steady but alarmingly high, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a new report Tuesday. The report underscored the ripple effects of COVID-19’s impact on America and the agency’s decision to target gun violence after a decades-long silence. The overall firearm homicide rate jumped from 4.6 per 100,000 persons to 6.1 per 100,000 from 2019 to 2020, its highest level in nearly three decades. Rates increased among all age groups in both urban and rural areas and the largest increases were among Black

"The largest increases were among Black males aged 10–24 (54.9 to 77.3) and 25–44 years (66.5 to 90.6).
“Young persons, males, and Black persons consistently have the highest firearm homicide rates ..."
It only takes about 30 paragraphs (admittedly, some of them very short) to find this. There's no mention of where these were occurring. I'm sure it's all in "fly over" country.

There are no "gun homicides". There are homicides. Guns are NOT a factor. The political connection of "guns" to homicides is fraud. Killers use many tools, the tools are not the issue.
And what about researching lives saved by guns? This is about 1/2 a million to 2 million per year, every year, based on careful, detailed criminological research, and written up in peer reviewed research papers, year after year. If you are interested in results or methodology - search on Prof. Gary Kleck of Florida State University.

Once the Biden admin and CDC cedes control of US healthcare to the WHO by amending the treaty in the next two weeks, they will attempt to use this data in a future pandemic to try a gun grab in the name in public mental health. What say you people?

The violence is committed largely by black men with pistols therefore the solution according to the government must be to take long arms away from white rural men.

So gun ownership will be determined to be a public health issue. I saw a billboard stating that more veterans' suicides are with a gun. So the psyop is out there being executed daily. Turn in your gun and save a vet. Bulltwinkie. I'm stocking up on ammo and buying more guns. You want it? Come and take it from my cold dead stiff fingers.

If those morons realized what emotional damage the quarantining had on unstable people maybe, they would have taken a more reasonable approach.

Re #6, that CANNOT be done, except with a 2/3 vote of the US Senate. They can talk and make all sorts of claims, but it is NOT a treaty and it is NOT binding.

Come on, man. More rightwing disinformation and conspiracy theory. 99.9% of those alleged gun deaths were Covid deaths due to not getting vaccinated, boosted, social distanced, and masked. The gunshots were incidental to the Covid. Not joke. CDC says so.

Let's see, could no bail laws, liberal judges, etc. that offer no deterrent to the thugs for their gun crimes have anything to do with the increased incidence?!

Wasn't the Pandemic as much as de-funding the police. And wait until it comes out that the same people created the P(L)andemic. This whole thing was to cheat their way into an election and go ahead and move towards Socialism.

#15 is correct. Defund the police, elect Soros prosecutors who won’t prosecute, let violent criminals back out on the street, demonize the cops and railroad them if a black dies in custody, do nothing when black mobs smash and grab with impunity, shoplift and know the perps won’t even be stopped then continue to tell blacks that they are victims and need “reparations” and then blame the horrendous spike in crimes as due to the pandemic. I truly hope a reckoning is coming along with a return to God. Nothing else will save us from the demented left.

I swear to Dog, there are times when I would like to swing through some of the Demoslums and throw guns and ammo throughout the neighborhoods and let them have at it. Anyone else heard a better idea?

FTA:
"The largest increases were among Black boys and men aged 10 to 44 years."
Once again we see solid evidence that "Standard Description #1" is an accurate stereotype.

Notice the Murder Rates:
Overall:
"The overall firearm homicide rate jumped from 4.6 per 100,000 persons to 6.1 per 100,000 from 2019 to 2020"
Black males:
"Black males aged 10–24 (54.9 to 77.3) and 25–44 years (66.5 to 90.6)".
Overall rate of 6.1 per 100,000, Black Males rate of 90.6 per 100,000
Lets, see..... 90.6 divided by 6.1 is 14.8. Call it 15.
Black Males 24 to 44 are killing people at FIFTEEN TIMES the overall rate
Being that the overall rate includes the Black Males, I wonder what the rate is among those Eeevil White People who Work, who have Families, and Cling to their Guns and Religion? 2?.....3? per 100,000?
The obvious Elephant in the Room, that is Studiously Ignored by the leftists at the CDC, is that it is not a Gun 'problem', it is a Thug 'problem'.
The murder rate is orders of magnitude higher in places where American culture has been displaced by Urban Thug Culture.
The Leftists know this as well as everyone else, but as they are promoting Urban Thug Culture, they are not going to admit that this is the cause of the sky-high murder rate.
The Crime rate, the Murder rate, the easy access to all the illegal drugs, the horrible 'schools' in urban areas ..... all are a result of Leftist policies. Indeed, these are the intended result of those policies. The Leftists are intent on destroying America, as long as they get to Rule over the Ashes.

Gun violence? And here I thought the purpose of the CDC was to track our whereabouts through cell phones, and to lie about Coronavirus treatments. This is yet another branch of the government that needs to be shut down one fine day.
