According to the NAAWP, these are the Cities in Each State with the Most Gun-Related Crimes and NO SURPRISE they are all run by "WOKE" Democrats who have implemented "LIBERAL POLICIES" like establishing themselves as SANCTUARY CITIES, DEFUNDING POLICE DEPARTMENTS, RELEASING CAREER CRIMINALS FROM PRISON and instituting totally ignorant legal policies like NO BAIL RELEASE for VIOLENT CRIMINALS! The Gun Control Act of 1968 was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson and is enforced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (also known as the ATF). The bill made traction after the high-profile assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy. The act imposes stricter licensing and regulation on the firearms industry to aid in a variety of investigations. At the request of state or local law enforcement agencies, the ATF traces firearms suspected to have been used in a crime in order to determine when and where they were originally purchased. In 2022, the ATF traced nearly half a million firearms, 10% more than in the previous year. (These are the states where anyone can get a gun today.) While not all guns traced by the ATF were used in a crime — and not all firearms used for illicit purposes are traced — federal tracing data offers valuable insight into trends and geographic patterns related to gun violence in the United States. Gun violence is disproportionately concentrated in many cities on this list. In all but a handful of states, over a third of all 2022 ATF firearm investigations originated in one of the four cities listed. Adjusting for population, the vast majority of these cities had a higher rate of firearm tracings per capita than the state as a whole. (This is where criminals in every state get their guns.) Using ATF tracing data as a proxy for criminal firearm offenses, 24/7 Wall St. identified the four cities in each state with the most gun-related crime. Cities are ranked by the total number of firearms traced by the ATF in 2022. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION for the ADVANCEMENT of WHITE PEOPLE .
