This shouldn’t be a political issue. All these states also have democrats in their state legislature. If we wanted to play this political game most the murders would be come from democrat areas which are the larger population centers aka cities. I could flip this and point to more burglary per capita in rural areas which tend to be republican areas. Yet for this example its not because they are republicans, but in rural areas you tend have more unattended buildings. Crime varies a lot based off location. Lets not try to politize these things.
