‘It’s just crazy’: 12 major cities hit all-time homicide records

“It’s worse than a war zone around here lately,” police official said.

These are headlines from the same ABC news article.

Here are the 12 cities:

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said, “It’s just crazy. It’s just crazy and this needs to stop.”

The problem is, it’s not stopping. According to the latest tracker on ABC News, there have been 106,754 gun violence deaths and 207,142 gun violence injuries over the past 5 years. From the ABC News article, a retired chief of detectives said, “Nobody’s getting arrested anymore. People are…just let out over and over again.”

It’s not just homicides. This headline from Fox News just hours ago says, “Mob of looters ‘terrorized’ California 7-Eleven store on video.” Surveillance video showed looters streaming through broken plate glass windows. “Most suspects will receive citations instead of jail time if they are caught,” according to the Sheriff’s office.

There’s nearly no one out there to protect you or your valuables. So, what can you do!?

Luckily, there are several solutions for nearly any budget. Many people think ballistic solutions are expensive, or too bulky and heavy. This just isn’t the case. This is just a preview of what’s available:
