Contrary to popular belief, mass shootings mostly take place in Democrat-run or Democrat-majority areas. Democrats and the mainstream media have convinced people otherwise.

MYTH: Mass shootings are more common in Republican areas.

REALITY: The opposite is true. Of the top 16 mass shootings in the United States, 13 of them took place in Democrat-majority counties.

According to the Denver Post, the top 10 States with the highest per capita mass shootings were Washington, Vermont, New Mexico, the District of Columbia, Colorado, Alaska, Nevada, Idaho, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. 8 out of 10 of these States are Democrat-majority States.

In addition, the top 10 cities with the most mass shootings were all Democrats. According to the left-wing research corporation, Gun Violence Archive, between Sept. 29, 2018 – May 24, 2022, the top 10 cities with the most mass shootings were, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore, Houston, Washington D.C., New Orleans, St. Louis, Atlanta, and Detroit. The average percentage of Democratic voters in those 10 cities was about 77%.

Democrat-majority areas are largely responsible for the majority of mass shootings and violent crime in this country.

Below, I list and break down the top 16 mass shootings in this country.

Check out my article “Democrats and Their Failure to Combat Crime.” It explains how Democrat-run or majority-Democrat areas are responsible for most of the violent crimes and murders in this country.

Also, check out my article “Mass Killings Where Guns Were Not Used.” In the article, I debunk the notion that removing firearms would prevent mass killings.
