New York City is reporting that shootings are up 77%, compared to the same time last year, following a similar trend of increased gun violence across the United States.
As of Tuesday, there were 573 shootings leaving 652 victims in the city, compared to 323 shootings with 366 victims this time last year, according to ABC News .
“A lot of the time you have individuals shooting at other individuals that are known,” New York Police Department Commissioner Dermot Shea told local station NY1. “But as the tide rises, you start to see more and more innocent people getting shot, too.”
New York is not alone in its rise in gun violence over the past year. Murders and shootings rose by 50% in Chicago in 2020. That same year, police recorded 3,261 shootings, up from 2019’s 2,140 recorded shootings, according to ABC7.
Overall, there have been 8,100 people killed by gun violence in 2021, with this year on track to match or exceed previous years’ gun-violence rates. In 2020, the U.S. recorded 19,000 killed by guns, a significant increase from the 15,000 in 2019, ABC also reports.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
