Houston police chief criticizes McConnell and Senate Republicans over guns: 'Whose side are you on?'

Acevedo is also the ex police chief from Austin Texas. See the connection? Two progressive shitholes.

Jersey City Shooting Live Updates: Multiple People Killed, Including Officer

Meanwhile no dead law enforcement in countries with strong gun control...

 

[Brain357]

Good to hear somebody in law enforcement who gets it. This is the only country where law enforcement is regularly gunned down. This is a real patriot:



"I don't want to hear about how much they support law enforcement," Acevedo said. "I don't want to hear about how much they care about lives and the sanctity of lives yet, we all know in law enforcement that one of the biggest reasons that the Senate and Mitch McConnell and (Texas Sens.) John Cornyn and Ted Cruz and others are not getting into a room and having a conference committee with the House and getting the Violence Against Women's Act (passed) is because the NRA doesn't like the fact that we want to take firearms out of the hands of boyfriends that abuse their girlfriends. And who killed our sergeant? A boyfriend abusing his girlfriend. So you're either here for women and children and our daughters and our sisters and our aunts, or you're here for the (National Rifle Association)."

The Constitutions side. Yall should try it.

The constitution allows well regulated militias, that is all. But keep hiding behind your gun while children, women and law enforcement get gunned down. Real heroic.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Acevedo is an ass. Perhaps if the Democrats were to actually engage in law enforcement there wouldn't be such a problem.

That what the dead sergeant was doing. Your support for arming criminals is noted.

Fast and furious?

New Jersey has strict gun laws, quite similar to countries with strong gun control.

Which mean guns easily come from some state with weak gun laws. Easy to drive across state borders.

The boyfriend had a record and should not have been on the street.

Solis has a criminal history which includes an assault causing bodily injury to a family member in August 2015, Acevedo said.

Who knows what else? Apparently your gun laws did not prevent a criminal from acquiring a firearm. Big surprise.

Violent criminals should be removed from society permanently, or get popped upon conviction with no quarter given.

Thanks to the NRA it is easy for criminals to get guns. Repubs want to keep it that way.

Law enforcement is rarely shot and killed in countries with strong gun control. We bury police regularly here.

Americans use their legal guns 1.1 million times a year to stop violent criminals according to the Centers for Disease Control.....it is democrats who keep letting violent, repeat gun offenders out of jail and prison over and over again.......

Over the last 26 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 18.6 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...


-- gun murder down 49%

--gun crime down 75%

--violent crime down 72%

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.


The anti-gun hypothesis and argument.....

More Guns = More Gun crime regardless of any other factors.

Actual Result:

In the U.S....as more Americans own and carry guns over the last 26 years, gun murder down 49%, gun crime down 75%, violent crime down 72%

The result: Exact opposite of theory of anti-gunners....

In Science when you have a theory, when that theory is tested....and the exact opposite result happens...that means your theory is wrong. That is science....not left wing wishful thinking.



Whatever the crime rate does......as more Americans owned more guns the crime rate did not go up....so again...

Maine tops ‘safest states’ rankings four years after removing major gun restriction

When Maine passed a “Constitutional Carry” law allowing Maine residents to carry a concealed firearm without any special permit in 2015, opponents of the law forecast a dangerous future for the state. They said the new law would hurt public safety and put Maine kids at risk.



One state representative who opposed the bill went so far as to say it would give Mainers a reason to be afraid every time they went out in public or to work.

Another state representative suggested the law would lead to violent criminals with recent arrests and convictions legally carrying handguns.


-----

Now four years later, Maine has been named the safest state in the nation according to US News and World Report’s public safety rankings, which measures the fifty states based on crime data.



Ranking as the top safest state for violent crime and fourth for property crime, Maine edges out another New England state, Vermont, for the top spot. Of note, Vermont also is a “Constitutional Carry” state. New Hampshire ranks third in the national rankings, giving New England all three of the top spots in the nation.

In 2018, Maine was edged out by Vermont in the same “safest states” ranking, but declared the best state overall in the broader “Crime and Corrections” category.

In 2017, using a different methodology, Maine was ranked second among the fifty states in the “Crime and Corrections” category and also second in the categories used to rank the “safest states.”

The U.S. News and World Report “Best States” rankings are built in partnership with McKinsey & Company, a firm that works closely with state leaders around the nation.

Maine has also ranked at the top of other state rankings. WalletHub.com recently ranked Maine second in “Personal and Residential Safety” among the fifty states, and third overall.

That’s a funny theory. The reality is our homicide rate is 4-5 times higher than countries with strong gun control. They also don’t suffer regular mass shootings and only have a handful of cops shot each year.

And the police have no legal obligation to come to your aid

So I am on my side because I can't trust the cops to show up if the shit hits the fan

And the shit would be much less likely to hit if we had gun control, Thats a fact.

That what the dead sergeant was doing. Your support for arming criminals is noted.

Actually your argument should be with Governor Abbott and not McConnell or the Senate.

Because one violent individual does something does not mean an entire society should be punished and have their constitutional rights stripped, but as usual brain you believe they should and why?

You fear people that have the right to defend themselves...

As for the dead cop the reality is Texas has State Laws on place and if the individual that killed the law enforcement officer was convicted of a violent crime in the past mean they should have never been in possession of a firearm.

Because you were accused is not enough to suspend your constitutional rights and yes it is a sad day when a Brother in Blue has fallen but let be clear those like you spit on the shield, so stop using the dead officer for your political agenda!

[blackhawk]

Amusing to see the left suddenly showing concern for police officers I don't recall that much from them when they were being gunned down during the Obama years. Back then it was for fashionable to trash them and claim they shot someone who had their hands up saying don't shoot.

Yeah, also what you left out of your little bullshit thread is the shooter was a convicted on abuse charges and was not eligible to own a firearm under Texas law for FIVE years!

You should study the shooting before commenting because your law you want passed would have not stopped Solis from killing the officer and in fact the person was going to kill anyway.

The shooter obtained the firearm illegally!
