We don't care about dying, we want to be free. Politics is not about being correct or incorrect, it is not about objective morals. Politics is about values and choices.
Politicial affiliation is 40% genetic. Testosterone levels have a significant effect as well. People are born that way, that is why arguing is futile.
Criminals and people like you are less safe when everyone has a gun. People like me are more safe when everyone has a gun. So we will never stop fighting over issues like this. It is the same with everything, freeloaders benefit from the welfare state, while productive people are punished by it. It all comes down to which elements of society you identify with.
That being said, your citations are all produced by leftist propaganda outlets.
Lets take for example, the notion that cities are safer than rural areas. This is absurd, and an outrageous lie. Either you know this is not true, or you are complete fool. You cannot use one propaganda piece to overturn literally hundreds of years of criminology research. We know cities are more dangerous because of actuarial data compiled by life insurance companies. It was common knowlege 2000 years ago that Rome was much more dangerous than the villages.
The fact that you can show up here and make these claims, shows that you are not a serious person. Claiming that people you disagree with are "objectively wrong about everything" shows you are a bad faith actor. I don't hate you because of your politics, or your lack of education. I hate you because you are a weak-minded and weak-moraled person.
The October report found that if all states implemented liberal policies on the environment, gun safety, criminal justice, health and welfare, labor, marijuana, and economic and tobacco taxes, more than 170,000 lives would have been saved in 2019. On the flip side, if states went with conservative versions of those policies, there would have been about 217,000 more deaths that year — “the equivalent of a 600-passenger airplane crashing every day of the year,” the study said.

Excess death rates were 2.8 percentage points (15%) higher for Republican voters compared with Democratic voters (95% PI, 1.6 to 3.7 percentage points).
"The results suggest that well-documented differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republican and Democratic voters may have been factors in the severity and trajectory of the pandemic," the authors wrote.

In Trump states, the rate was 8.20 murders per 100,000 residents. In Biden states, the rate was 5.78 murders per 100,000 residents. "These Biden-voting states include the 'crime-is-out-of-control' cities of Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Portland, Baltimore, and Minneapolis,"
"Jacksonville, a city with a Republican mayor, had 128 more murders in 2020 than San Francisco, a city with a Democrat mayor, despite their comparable populations. In fact, the homicide rate in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco was half that of House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy’s Bakersfield, a city with a Republican mayor that overwhelmingly voted for Trump."

"people are born this way" or "I'm conservative because my parents" is just a way to shed the responsibility of growing and becoming a better person.
