The left seems to think Red state governors run Blue cities.
Last time I looked, gun control laws (or lack thereof) were set at the state level. City mayors simply don't have the legislative powers to set stricter gun control laws.
And stricter gun control laws correlate strongly with lower gun violence rates.

WOW! Cities in blue states tend to be safer!! Proving that gun safety laws work!!
@DogMan populated cities with “blue policies” which are known to work in densely populated areas still work even in red states. Therefore “red states” would be wise to adopt similar policies. Instead they blame the other and continue with strategies that simply don’t work in the modern era. Old politicians old strategies but it’s a new world with wildly different concerns. Maybe we need forced retirement age in politics. Could it be that simple?
