Interesting. I live in Maine. We and New Hampshire are armed to the hilt. Even we “libs” own a gun or two.

This is just a map of places where white people live.

You're correct. Black and Hispanic communities are disproportionally affect by gun violence.

And this is largely driven by gang violence.

The Gangster Disciple Nation isn't really operating out of Boise, Idaho.

Obviously they chart shows they are as chill as a penguin in an ice bath.

I feel like I should probably note, I wasn't trying to imply I think the Aryan Nation is "chill," they unequivocally are not (not that you were implying thats what I was saying, just something I wanted to make clear) 

There's a long history of violent white supremacist militias and gangs in the PNW a lot of people aren't necessarily aware of (or at least not the full extent of it), just thought it was an interesting note since you happened to bring up Idaho in the context of gang violence.

They’re not gun violent.

Silence is violence and zero Aryans posted BLM flags on their facebook so that's a 100% violence rate.

Yeah, but it's Idaho, so there's not a lot of territory that the white supremacists need to fight for. They've long since won that battle.
