   Why is shooting Americans objectionable?   
      
   There's nothing wrong with you shooting Americans if you belong to a well-   
   regulated militia.   
      
   They Framers say  "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the   
   security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,   
   shall not be infringed."   
      
       The murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Donald Trump has   
       exceeded the murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Joe Biden in   
       every year from 2000 to 2020. Over this 21-year span, this Red State   
       murder gap has steadily widened from a low of 9% more per capita red   
       state murders in 2003 and 2004 to 44% more per capita red state   
       murders in 2019, before settling back to 43% in 2020. Altogether, the   
       per capita Red State murder rate was 23% higher than the Blue State   
       murder rate when all 21 years were combined. If Blue State murder   
       rates were as high as Red State murder rates, Biden-voting states   
       would have suffered over 45,000 more murders between 2000 and 2020.   
       Even when murders in the largest cities in red states are removed,   
       overall murder rates in Trump-voting states were 12% higher than   
       Biden-voting states across this 21-year period and were higher in 18   
       of the 21 years observed.
