There is gun violence in rural America, but much of it looks different.
Rural folks often don’t have access to healthcare or a good paying job, but they do have access to a gun — suicide rates are consistently higher in rural spaces than urban spaces.

Chances for a firearm assault goes up 5x if there is a firearm in the house
Home security is one thing, settling a score, having an axe to grind or showing someone who is boss like an ex do occur
Kids learn to gain access to the safe at some point

Keep truth telling, Jess. And thank you.
Farmers are 3.5 times more likely to die from suicide than the general population.
The statistics are heartbreaking.
With smaller rural areas, there are no local departments chasing down crimes.
So, it may look like the numbers are up, but only because it can be reported outside local courthouse.
God, considering how bad things are going to get, these numbers are going to increase.

Easy money!

When you look a violent crimes per capita by county instead of by city which misses everything outside of cities, small towns in the south don’t look so safe.
