2006-2019 population totals

2,982,644 * 2,999,212 * 3,016,734 * 3,032,870 * 3,046,355 * 3,066,336 * 3,076,190 * 3,092,997 * 3,109,350 * 3,120,960 * 3,131,371 * 3,141,550 * 3,156,145 * 3,155,070

Homicide totals 2006-2019 [NOTE: I found some publications that listed the number of homicides per year & some that simply gave us the rate. Some of these overlap & I checked them for accuracy. Figures from the State Legislature were rounding to the nearest tenth]

59 (1.978 per 100,000), 38 (1.266 per 100,000), 76 (2.519 per 100,000), 39 (1.285 per 100,000), 1.2 per 100,000, 1.4, 1.5, 1.4, 1.9, 2.3, 2.3, 3.1, 2.2, 1.9

Iowa Criminal Homicide/Murder Rate 2006-2010 = 1.649 per 100,000. Shall-issue Concealed Carry law goes into force January 2011.

Iowa Criminal Homicide/Murder Rate 2011-2019 = 1.744 per 100,000

U.S Rate 2006-2010 (see https://professor_enigma.webs.com/sam-seder-ilhan-omar-racism3 for this data) = 5.34

U.S. Rate 2011-2019 = 4.877

As you can see, Iowa’s homicide rate is typically only 2-3X less than the national rate. I would equate most of that to far fewer drug addicts per capita (see https://professor_enigma.webs.com/america-has-a-drug-problem for more data on that) than most of the U.S. & far less fatherless children than most jurisdictions (although the Black rate in Iowa is typically flirting w/ the 70% mark & for Hispanic it’s >50% -- see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svMnC9ohHX8 for data on that) in these United States.

If Latifah Faisal spent as much time telling others to quit having children sans father & quit using meth as she does shrieking about #blacklivesmatter & making sure irresponsible black women have access to the abortion clinic (and undoubtedly, you should pay for it) maybe this country wouldn’t suck so much.

Allowing law-abiding Iowans (and I already obtained a permit after the shall-issue law took effect) w/ no felonies or criminal record to carry a firearm sans permit will only allow them to defend themselves (Iowa also has a Castle Doctrine, you are not required to retreat) in the unlikely event (especially in my uber-rural area, I like it here) that malcontent behavior that we’re witnessing in Portland & Minneapolis occurs here.

Iowa is unlike Gary, Indiana or Camden or E. St. Louis because we have a better culture. Latifah Faisal also wants to import as many illegal aliens into Iowa as possible (we will get to that in another entry) so we can spend millions educating ELLs before many of them drop out of high school.

She is conspicuously compassionate, but does not pay the cost.

In closing, if you see Latifah Faisal screeching about law-abiding Iowans cw/ no criminal record, no fatherless children running wild in the hood & no drug problem hindering them like a millstone around the neck – carrying a concealed weapon sans permit – tell her she has no idea what she’s talking about (I’d debate her on it, but considering she balked at my previous questions I think she’ll avoid the opportunity to make herself look foolish).

Tell her, “I work in the private sector, so the taxpayers do not pay my salary, as they do yours. I do not make the money Michael Bloomberg or Jeff Bezos makes, I cannot hire private security. I contract my own security out to me in the unlikely event there’s a burglary attempt on my property or someone tries to carjack me.”

What would you do if someone is smashing your door in at 3 AM? Call the police & tell the assailant to wait 5 minutes for them to show up?

Latifah Faisal resides in Story County, Iowa where there are plenty of insane people (just look at who they vote for), but most of these people are not going to carjack you, attack you or break into your home.

She’s in her ivory tower, projecting & she is pretty safe in Story County. I would wager if she was one of the plebs living in Gary, Camden, Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, E. St. Louis, St. Louis et al. she might sing a different tune.

I commend Kim Reynolds, my Senator & Representative & the Iowa Legislature for allowing Iowans to defend themselves from thugs. This needed to be done & especially now as the Joe Biden Administration seems intent on banning so-called “assault weapons.” See this https://rumble.com/vdvrgz-old-fart-rants-doesnt-know-what-an-assault-weapon-is.html where I totally demolished an unhygienic hippie on “assault weapon” bans. Have a nice day!
