Most homicides w gun in America a rifle is not used. Moreover, these "mass shhootings" are overly glorified by Fake News. I could give you links but I'm "typing" on my phone right now and don't want to duck with it right now.
Bottom line: even if you ban these so-called "assault weapons" the overall murder rate will not be noticeably be improved.
Very true. I'm very sorry for the people who've died in mass shootings. But they're no more dead than the people who've died in every day shootings with handguns (shotguns or single shot rifles), stabbings, beatings or whatever. No, the needle would hardly move on the firearms murder rate. For one, a ban is nothing more than more words on more pieces of paper. It's not like all "assault weapons" would magically disappear from the streets or even homes. And for another, they're just not used in that many (statistically speaking) murders. At best, it would just cut down on the big headline shootings that the PC Pavlov's dogs in the media (and their elitist, bodyguard protected masters) love to hype. What's happening on the mean streets of Chicago, L.A., D.C. and Gary, Indiana wouldn't be affected. But people like Soros, Bloomberg and their minions don't
really care about "those people" anyway. They're the expendable lower class, only good for their loyal votes and as cheap labor. They don't care if they have good jobs or good schools, so why would they care if they keep getting shot down by crazed gang-bangers and cartel soldiers? They don't.
You (I'm sure) know that that much "heralded" Assault Weapons Ban from the 90s, that Ninny Pelosi and the other elitists like to claim was so successful, was just a gun appearance ban for the most part. The sporterized/"hunter package" AK style weapons,
that remained legal after that ban, were mechanically
EXACTLY the same as those
scary looking, uber dangerous AKs that had bayonet lugs, pistol grips and threaded muzzles. To their credit, not one person was killed by a bayonet fixed onto an AK or SKS after that ban was enacted. Problem is, not one person was killed by a bayonet fixed onto an AK or SKS
before the ban either. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
I know absolutely
nothing about golf. So the PGA would be stupid to hire someone like me to rewrite the rules for The Masters. And by the same token, having complete firearms dumbasses like Fancy Nancy and Babs Feinstein rewriting firearms legislation was bound to produce a massive superficial-only fuckup... and that's what it did.
If the Dems want to deal aggressively with gun violence wouldn't they focus on the areas where the most gun violence occurs?
Well, you would think. :dunno:
Will they flood those areas with cops possibly to use force and disarm the community of any illegal guns?
Well, to be honest, the Gestapo style of the cops has helped to make them untrustworthy in these areas. But still, the gangs in these areas are the real problem. But for political reasons, there's no real desire to REALLY go after them for the domestic terrorists that they are. What if the Crips, Bloods and MS-13 were hounded the way the Italian mafia was in the late 70s and 80s? What if the Israeli/Russian mafia and the Mexican cartels were hounded by seizing their foreign accounts the way we've gone after Iran, Hezbollah and the PLO? Why did Eric Holder and Obama let Bank of America off the hook after they knowingly financed a plane full of coke? Why hasn't Obama gotten involved in the fight against street violence in his hometown of Chicago? Eh, it's all a bunch of bullshit, man. Play that song "We Care A Lot" while you're watching the nightly news with these yammering pussies pretending to give a shit.
What happens when the almighty race card is flung at them which could possibly jeopardize a voting demographic?
Like I said, clean cops covering for dirty cops in those neighborhoods doesn't help that cause at all. If I lived there, I wouldn't trust the cops either. If you're a decent person living in those neighborhoods, your only real hope is to get away from the 'hood rats and the gangsta cops by moving. But yeah, since these street gangs (and especially the foreign cartels) do pay protection to their political allies/protectors, the police seem to just do some "dope on the table" shows for the 6 o'clock talking heads on TV every now & again. Past that... nah. It's just a reality TV show.
Will they show strength and conviction or backpedal and apologize?
You know the answer. Watch how the cops in Portland handled Antifa recently. The Po-po Chief sets the tone for the rank & file cops. And the Mayor and City Council sets the tone for the Chief.
The gun control debate is a fraud and always will be a fraud.
You can not punish the good people because you fear the bad people.
Stupid.
Exactly. :hatsoff: And if people are afraid to admit that bad people are bad (for whatever reason) and
that ilk is the true problem, then we're really just pissing in the wind, right?
