Yep.....for 20 years Americans bought a lot of guns, and they carried those guns...and the gun crime rate went down 75%....the gun murder rate went down 49%....and the violent crime rate went down 72%.
So....if you are obama and you want to push gun control.....what do you do when the core argument of left wing anti gun hate, more guns = more crime...isn't true?
You created more gun crime by letting criminals get guns illlegally, and you stop prosecuting as many of them.....
Notice....it is the gun makers, the gun owners and the gun groups who want gun criminals arrested and put in jail...it is democrats and anti gunners who keep cutting the prison sentences of gun criminals, and who keep letting them out on bail....
EXCLUSIVE: Obama Rarely Prosecuted Criminals Who Sought To Buy Guns Illegally
More than 100,000 convicted felons or other “prohibited persons” tried to buy guns each year during President Barack Obama’s administration by lying on their applications, but the Justice Department only considered prosecuting about 30 to 40 people each year, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.
The Obama administration may have publicly aligned itself with anti-gun activists, but it consistently turned a blind eye to prosecute known criminals who tried to buy guns.
A June 2016 Justice Department Inspector General’s report revealed that between 2008 and 2015 the U.S. Attorneys office considered prosecuting “less than 32 people per year” for lying on form 4473, the federal application to buy guns.
Surprisingly, the Obama administration’s harshest critics are gun manufacturers themselves.
“People could do what is called, ‘lie and buy,'” explained Lawrence Keane, a senior vice president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a nonprofit organization that represents gun manufacturers.
“But very infrequently is anyone ever prosecuted. What’s the point of making it a crime if you don’t enforce it?” he asked in an interview with TheDCNF.
“It’s a long-standing problem. And it was certainly true over the last eight years where the Department of Justice did not prosecute people,” he complained.
The point......that's easy....obama needed to increase the gun crime rate in order to push gun control......that is what he used Fast and Furious for, and that is how he used the Ferguson Effect......
