While Rochester and many other cities have seen a rise in violent gun deaths so far in 2021 everyone likes to point to their favorite issue of the day to tell us what is causing these deaths. This includes attacking any progressive politician they can possible point to. So lets go through the facts, our current upswing in violent deaths is due to:

bail reform

poverty

black on black violence

the fact Biden was elected

the ongoing decline of the American family

progressive female politicians

the Supreme Court

Guns

OK the answer is the Supreme Court, particularly the deceased Honorable Justice Antonio Scalia, and the rest of the Roberts court, Roberts, Kennedy, and Alito, and and many other previous and subsequent Supreme Court Justices who have taken the Second Amendment and turned it into a open spickit for conservative christian causes and the Republican NRA.

And of course guns.
