“pro-criminal”

It's getting close to election season, so you're already hearing Republicans talk a lot about "crime" and "reducing crime" and even some Republicans calling Democrats "pro-criminal."

It's getting close to election season, so you're already hearing Republicans talk a lot about "crime" and "reducing crime" and even some Republicans calling Democrats "pro-criminal."

But let's get the facts straight with a little help from Senator Chris Murphy educating Ron DeSantis:

Tweet from Chris Murphy:'Why is Florida's murder rate 65% higher than New York's murder rate? Bad luck? The humidity? Or maybe deciding to make it easy for criminals to get guns is more

But let's have a look at how California stacks up where we have strong gun laws vs. states with weaker gun laws...

Florida's firearm death rate: 56% higher than California.

Texas's firearm death rate: 73% higher than California.

Tennessee's firearm death rate: 153% higher than California.

Someone should tell Governor Bill Lee since he is such a fan of "evidence-based crime prevention methods."

Tweet from Gov. Bill Lee:'Violent crime has no place in Tennessee, period. To immediately strengthen public safety, we have to invest in evidence-based crime prevention methods and continue efforts to recruit and retain qualified law enforcement officers.'

How about Arkansas? Sarah Huckabee Sanders talks a lot about Democrats being soft on crime.

Tweet from Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders:'The Democrats have proven that they can't — and won't — tackle the out of control crime in our streets across the nation. As governor, I'll fund our law enforcement with the tools and resources they need to reduce violent crime, and NEVER defund the police.'

Arkansas's firearm death rate: 158% higher than California.

Point is, everyone knows the steps we can take to make our communities safer from gun violence.

Strong gun laws save lives. It's true in states across this country and countries around the world.

So when you hear Republicans talk about "crime reduction" or call Democrats "pro-criminal," please know that's all they are doing: talking.
