For I B AN IDIOT:
Just for kicks, how do you define a Liberal -- other than someone who doesn't agree with you?
Look at the data you just presented from the FBI.
Murder and negligent homicide rates per 100,000:
2010 -- Illinois 4.1; Texas 4.2
2011 -- Illinois 4.8; Texas 4.2
So Texas higher one year, Illinois the next.
N.Y., another Liberal state -- 4.0 in 2011.
CT, another Liber state -- 3.6 in 2011
Try as you like, there is probably little to no correlation between Conservative/Liberal and the rate of homicides in a state.
And BTW, the FBI data does not break the homicide/murder rate into who did it. And I in no way inititated talk of the Mexican drug cartels and their impact on the homicide rate. If you like I'll go back and cite the exact post where YOU brought up that issue.

BTW, Speedy, this is what the FBI data actually says:
Murder and negligent homicide rates per 100,000:
2010 -- Illinois 5.5; Texas 4.9
2011 -- Illinois 5.6; Texas 4.4
MI, another Liberal state -- 6.0 in 2011
D.C., another Liberal enclave --17.5 in 2011.

This IS (again) the FBI's stance on Gang-Related Violent Crime:
“Gang-related crime and violence continues to rise. NGIC analysis indicates that gang members are responsible for an average of 48 percent of violent crime in most jurisdictions and much higher in others.
Some jurisdictions in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and
Texas report that gangs are responsible for at least 90 percent of crime. A comparison of FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) 2009 violent crime data and 2010 NGIC gang data illustrates that regions experiencing the most violent crime—including southern California, Texas, and Florida—also have a substantial gang presence (see Figure 1 and Map 1).
Street gangs are involved in a host of violent criminal activities, including assault,
drug trafficking, extortion, firearms offenses, home invasion robberies,
homicide, intimidation, shootings, and weapons trafficking.
NDIC reporting indicates that gang control over drug distribution and disputes over drug territory has increased, which may be responsible for the increase in violence in many areas. Conflict between gangs, gang migration into rival gang territory, and the release of incarcerated gang members back into the community has also resulted in an increase in gang-related crime and violence in many jurisdictions, according to NGIC reporting.”

Unlike libertard politicians, conservatives aren't blaming other states or inanimate objects for high homicide rates: they blame criminals. And, Speedy, you still haven't addressed why libertards such as those in Chicago create thousands of laws that oppress law abiding citizens then allow repeat offenders, such as "Little Rowdy", to wander the streets and continue to commit gun crimes!?! Their audacity to blame others and the hypocrisy of their grandstanding is criminally profound.
HERE'S YOUR REFUTATION:
MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
Hey, syndrome! Why not quote the WORDS you used to address those questions? Just using the link over and over and over and over and over, etc.
Are you or aren't you willing to give a simple answer to two simple questions?
Guess not.
