But...Europe has gun control? Grenade attacks in Sweden? Pass laws to ban grenades, Sweden.....

[Toro]

And the immigrant gangs? Care to comment on their violence in Sweden?

There's no question that they're causing an increase in crime. And it is a fair question to ask how much immigration should be coming into the country. But you must also recognize that immigrant crime is nothing new. When waves of Irish immigrants came to America, they brought a lot of crime too.

Wow.....then guns don't cause crime? Culture causes crime? Welcome to the party pal.....

Of course guns don't cause crime. But the availability of guns makes certain types of crimes more likely.

A criminal is much more likely to kill someone if they have a gun than if they have a wiffle bat.

 

[2aguy]

And.....are fully automatic military rifles illegal in Sweden? Are Grenades illegal in Sweden....? You would like to avoid those questions....

You make this logical fallacy all the time. Simply because this or that country has gun control, yet - surprise surprise! - there's gun violence doesn't mean gun control doesn't work. Simply because something is against the law doesn't mean people aren't going to do it. It's against the law to distribute drugs, rape people, gamble in some fashions, engage in prostitution, etc., yet all these still happens. That it is illegal in some countries to possess firearms - or grenades - doesn't mean there aren't going to be firearms or grenades.

I'm not necessarily pro-gun control. I have sympathy for gun ownership in this country because it is legally protected in the Constitution. But that doesn't mean the country is safer because we have guns. It just means that we have the right to own guns.

Your mistake is thinking that gun control controls the level of gun crime...that banning guns makes a country safer from gun violence. The United States shows why this is a stupid point....as more Americans own and carry guns...over 18.6 million people...our gun murder rate went down 49%.

Our gun crime problem isn't a result from access to guns...as that shows......normal people who own and carry guns for self defense do not use them for crime and murder........our problem? Democrat politicians who let violent, repeat gun offenders out of jail on bail, and out of prison on ridiculously short prison sentences. Fix that, and we have even less gun violence.

Why do democrat keep releasing violent gun criminals...the ones doing all of the shooting?

Of course guns don't cause crime. But the availability of guns makes certain types of crimes more likely.

A criminal is much more likely to kill someone if they have a gun than if they have a wiffle bat.

Wrong, as Britain shows...their criminals have access to guns....increasing access to illegal guns, but they don't use them for murder.....they shoot people in the legs, as a threat, punishment or intimidation....Irish criminals, who also have access to lots of guns, warn the families of their victims.....when they plan on shooting someone as punishment. The family then prepares the victim by getting them drunk or high on drugs.....then they get shot in the leg.

Access to guns doesn't drive gun crime, and it doesn't drive murder. That is the sole function of culture.

But

We are told European gun control is wonderful, but this is a lie. The only thing keeping Europe from out of control gun violence is their criminals, choosing not to murder people. Fully automatic military weapons are easily acquired in Europe by criminals....and of all places, Sweden is a place of guns and grenades....

Why? Changing demographics........due to immigration....

And this is why I say culture, not normal gun owners, is the difference between the U.S. and Europe...and their culture is changing, becoming more and more violent.


Perhaps Sweden should pass a law banning hand grenades? The question people need to ask is why Sweden hasn't banned hand grenades.......?

No, Sweden, hand grenade attacks aren’t an ‘image’ problem

In 2018 there were 162 bombings reported to police, and 93 reported in the first five months of this year, 30 more than during the same period in 2018. The level of attacks is “extreme in a country that is not at war,” Crime Commissioner Gunnar Appelgren told SVT last year.
-------
The use of hand grenades is a purely Swedish phenomenon too, with no other country in Europe reporting their use on such a level, a police manager told Swedish Radio in 2016, a year after attacks first spiked.

The grenades used almost exclusively originate in the former Yugoslavia, and are sold in Sweden for around $100 per piece. But while only three hand grenades were thrown in Kosovo between 2013 and 2014, more than 20 have been used in Sweden every year since 2015.

More broadly, homicide has risen in Sweden, with more than 300 shootings reported last year, causing 45 deaths. Though homicide rates had been in decline since 2002, they again began trending upwards in 2015, as did rapes and sexual assaults, which more than tripled in the last four years.

Of course, 2015 was also the year in which Sweden flung open its doors to more than 160,000 asylum seekers, more per capita than any other European country.
-------

Dagens Nyheter pointed out that 90 percent of shooting perpetrators in Sweden are either first or second generation immigrants.

But you never say what is different about their culture or why, other than they just don't shoot as many people as we do. What is so different about their culture? I've asked you before, but you never came up with an answer.

I have explained it...... Fatherless homes...the welfare state destroying the family, our welfare state destroyed our family structure starting in the 1960s...their family destruction is just now happening.........and now in Europe, immigrants from 3rd world countries that do not believe in Western values.

Again, you are just dumb if you think there weren't fatherless homes GB especially after WW2., and there are just as many broken homes there now as here. Their demographics in that area have reflected ours closely for a long time. That excuse is bullshit. You whine because we are at least trying to help some of our citizens with affordable healthcare. They have had government paid healthcare for a long time. With all the other benefits they give their people, a direct comparison with us is not fair, because they take better care of their citizens than we do. Their tax rate is 40% to 45% for everyone whose income is $41,463,70 and above. Your bullshit excuse just doesn't hold water..

Where did I mention healthcare you moron? And as actual research shows, fatherless homes drives our crime rate. Their countries can't afford their welfare states, and as they collapse, their fatherless homes will increase their violence........the only reason they can afford their welfare states is they depend on the U.S. for their defense, their medical innovation and their technological innovation.......without us, they would have descended into chaos already.

Republic of Ireland is deadliest place to live in Irish and British Isles - new figures - Independent.ie

The Republic of Ireland is the deadliest place to live in the Irish and British isles - startling new figures have confirmed.

An Independent.ie analysis of homicide rates over the last decade reveals that you are almost six times more likely to be shot and killed in the 26 counties as you are in England/Wales.

And, contrary to popular belief, the gun homicide rate in the Irish Republic was more than double that of Northern Ireland for the ten years from 2005 to 2015.


Gang members know that if they are confronted by gardai they will almost certainly have the upper hand when it comes to firearms.

"Irish police have extendable batons and pepper spray - Irish criminals have Glochs and AK47's - there can only be one winner.

"Modern Irish criminals regard An Garda Siochana and their tools as play things - in the meantime, people get eviscerated in the cross fire generated by these gun toting savages."

Ireland v Britain........ same ability to get guns...Ireland more violent...access to guns doesn't drive gun crime or murder....culture does...

Please explain how your theory works if as more Americans now own and actually carry guns...over 18.6 million of us......why is it that the gun murder rate went down 49% and the gun crime rate went down 75%? Please explain that if access to guns is the driver....

I have explained it...... Fatherless homes...the welfare state destroying the family, our welfare state destroyed our family structure starting in the 1960s...their family destruction is just now happening.........and now in Europe, immigrants from 3rd world countries that do not believe in Western values.

Again, you are just dumb if you think there weren't fatherless homes GB especially after WW2., and there are just as many broken homes there now as here. Their demographics in that area have reflected ours closely for a long time. That excuse is bullshit. You whine because we are at least trying to help some of our citizens with affordable healthcare. They have had government paid healthcare for a long time. With all the other benefits they give their people, a direct comparison with us is not fair, because they take better care of their citizens than we do. Their tax rate is 40% to 45% for everyone whose income is $41,463,70 and above. Your bullshit excuse just doesn't hold water..

Where did I mention healthcare you moron? And as actual research shows, fatherless homes drives our crime rate. Their countries can't afford their welfare states, and as they collapse, their fatherless homes will increase their violence........the only reason they can afford their welfare states is they depend on the U.S. for their defense, their medical innovation and their technological innovation.......without us, they would have descended into chaos already.

I mentioned healthcare because you right wing nut jobs always seem to bring it up when you start whining about the things you think hurt our country. Actual research shows that GB has the same amount of fatherless homes per-capita as we do, dumb ass.,

Now. And they are experiencing more and more violence and murder you dumb ass.

Nope . About the same broken home rate for a looooong time.

Yeah...no.....but thanks for playing.

The Real Root Causes of Violent Crime: The Breakdown of Marriage, Family, and Community

A review of the empirical evidence in the professional literature of the social sciences gives policymakers an insight into the root causes of crime. Consider, for instance:

• Over the past thirty years, the rise in violent crime parallels the rise in families abandoned by fathers.
• High-crime neighborhoods are characterized by high concentrations of families abandoned by fathers.
• State-by-state analysis by Heritage scholars indicates that a 10 percent increase in the percentage of children living in single-parent homes leads typically to a 17 percent increase in juvenile crime.
• The rate of violent teenage crime corresponds with the number of families abandoned by fathers.
• The type of aggression and hostility demonstrated by a future criminal often is foreshadowed in unusual aggressiveness as early as age five or six.
• The future criminal tends to be an individual rejected by other children as early as the first grade who goes on to form his own group of friends, often the future delinquent gang.

On the other hand:

• Neighborhoods with a high degree of religious practice are not high-crime neighborhoods.
• Even in high-crime inner-city neighborhoods, well over 90 percent of children from safe, stable homes do not become delinquents. By contrast only 10 percent of children from unsafe, unstable homes in these neighborhoods avoid crime.
• Criminals capable of sustaining marriage gradually move away from a life of crime after they get married.
• The mother's strong affectionate attachment to her child is the child's best buffer against a life of crime.
• The father's authority and involvement in raising his children are also a great buffer against a life of crime.

The scholarly evidence, in short, suggests that at the heart of the explosion of crime in America is the loss of the capacity of fathers and mothers to be responsible in caring for the children they bring into the world.

This loss of love and guidance at the intimate levels of marriage and family has broad social consequences for children and for the wider community.

The empirical evidence shows that too many young men and women from broken families tend to have a much weaker sense of connection with their neighborhood and are prone to exploit its members to satisfy their unmet needs or desires.

This contributes to a loss of a sense of community and to the disintegration of neighborhoods into social chaos and violent crime. If policymakers are to deal with the root causes of crime, therefore, they must deal with the rapid rise of illegitimacy.

And more...
The same study makes clear that the widespread popular assumption that there is an association between race and crime is false. Illegitimacy is the key factor. It is the absence of marriage, and the failure to form and maintain intact families, that explains the incidence of high crime in a neighborhood among whites as well as blacks. This contradicts conventional wisdom.

Bolstering the Smith-Jarjoura study, University ofIllinois sociologist Robert J. Sampson, in a study on the differential effects of poverty and family disruption on crime, states:

Overall the analysis shows that rates of black violent offending, especially by juveniles, are strongly influenced by variations in family structure. Independent of the major candidates supplied by prior criminological theory (e.g. income, region, size, density, age and race composition) black family disruption has the largest effects on black juvenile robbery and homicide.... The effects of family structure are strong and cannot be easily dismissed by reference to other structural and cultural features of urban environments.... The effect of family disruption on black violence is not due to the effect of black violence on family structure.

Sampson adds: "the predictors of white robbery are in large part identical in sign and magnitude to those for blacks."

And the key....

STAGE ONE: THE BROKEN family

The evidence of the professional literature is overwhelming: teenage criminal behavior has its roots in habitual deprivation of parental love and affection going back to early infancy. Future delinquents invariably have a chaotic, disintegrating family life.
------

Most delinquents are children who have been abandoned by their fathers.
-----

According to the professional literature, the absence of the father is the single most important cause of poverty. The same is true for crime. According to Kevin and Karen Wright,

Research into the idea that single-parent homes may produce more delinquents dates back to the early 19th century.... [O]fficials at New York State's Auburn Penitentiary, in an attempt to discern the causes of crime, studied the biographies of incarcerated men. Reports to the legislature in 1829 and 1830 suggested that family disintegration resulting from the death, desertion, or divorce of parents led to undisciplined children who eventually became criminals. Now well over a century later, researchers continue to examine the family background of unique populations and reach similar conclusions.
------

Significantly, West Coast Crips and Bloods gang members almost without exception grew up in dangerous family environments. Typically, they left home to escape the violence or drifted away because they were abandoned or neglected by their parents. Consequently, these young men have developed a defensive world view characterized by a feeling of vulnerability and a need to protect oneself, a belief that no one can be trusted, a need to maintain social distance, a willingness to use violence and intimidation to repel others, an attraction to similarly defensive people, and an expectation that no one will come to their aid. Young women delinquents who run away from home are also frequently victims of sexual abuse.

 

[2aguy]

And in Britain..

In a longitudinal study of 394 families in England, David P. Farrington, professor of criminology at Cambridge University, found that approximately 4 percent of these families accrued almost half of the convictions of the entire sample. "The fact that delinquency is transmitted from one generation to the next is indisputable.... [F]ewer than 5 percent of the families accounted for almost half of the criminal convictions in the entire sample.... In order to achieve such concentration of crime in a small number of families, it is necessary that the parents and the brothers and sisters of offenders also be unusually likely to commit criminal acts."

The findings for England, though dramatic and for a different culture and country, comport with the earlier U.S. research as summarized by Professor Kevin Wright of the State University of New York at Binghamton:

The Gluecks determined that delinquents were more likely than nondelinquents to have delinquent fathers and mothers. Subsequent studies supported the Gluecks' findings, observing that delinquent boys were more likely to have delinquent or criminal parents. In a study of the families of black delinquents in St. Louis, Robins found that a child's delinquent behavior was associated with 1) arrests of one or both of the parents in their adult years, and 2) a history of juvenile delinquency on the part of the parents. Children with two parents with criminal histories were at extremely high risk of delinquency.

And more...

According to the national survey data, there is a clear correlation between the surge in criminal violence in these largely urban communities and the collapse of marriage. Professional research in criminology also supports this conclusion.

Tragically for these communities, single-parent neighborhoods tend to be high-crime neighborhoods. Researchers long ago observed that violent crime, among both teenagers and adults, is concentrated most heavily in urban neighborhoods characterized by a very high proportion of single- parent families. More recent figures indicate the illegitimate birth rate in many urban neighborhoods is a staggering 80 percent. And today's researchers, like those before them, find that a neighborhood composed mainly of single-parent families invariably is a chaotic, crime-ridden community in which assaults are high and the gang -- " the delinquent subcommunity"-- assumes control. In these chaotic conditions, parental supervision of adolescent and pre-adolescent children is almost impossible. In turn, children living in these neighborhoods are more likely to learn, accept, and use physical violence to satisfy their wants and needs.
