As usual, the right wingers project their own situation on everyone else ...

"In reality, the region the Big Apple comprises most of is far and away the safest part of the U.S. mainland when it comes to gun violence, while the regions Florida and Texas belong to have per capita firearm death rates (homicides and suicides) three to four times higher than New York’s. On a regional basis it’s the southern swath of the country — in cities and rural areas alike — where the rate of deadly gun violence is most acute, regions where Republicans have dominated state governments for decades.

Someone living in the most rural counties of South Carolina is more than three times as likely to be killed by gunshot than someone living ... in the impoverished rural counties facing Mexico across the lower reaches of the Rio Grande."

This girl was walking in front of me on my way to class. Her patch reads, in Spanish, "You with bullets, me with balls". This is the reality of many women in the border towns of #ElPaso and #CiudadJuarez having to grow up afraid of being the next #muertasdejuarez #endtheviolence #NiUnaMenos
