Democrats create 95% of the gun crime in the U.S. We do not have a gun problem here, we have a democrat party problem here. Colorado is another example of democrat party policies and actions increasing violent crime.
the Democrats in control of the state have enacted universal background checks, a ban on “large capacity” magazines, “red flag” laws, and storage mandates while repealing the state’s firearm preemption law and allowing localities to impose their own gun control restrictions, including bans on modern sporting rifles. And every year since 2013, violent crime in the state has increased.
In fact, between 2019 and 2020, violent crime grew in Colorado at almost twice as much as it did nationally, which is a pretty good sign that the state’s gun control laws aren’t doing a damn thing to prevent acts of violence. And as CBS4 in Denver recently reported, while the Democrats in control of the state capitol keep slapping more gun control laws on the books, many suspects in violent crimes are being released from jail on low or no bond only to be arrested and accused of committing more acts of violence within a short period of time.
A months-long investigation by CBS4 found, this year alone, more than 4,000 defendants in felony cases have received $1 or $2 bonds, if any at all. Most of them are getting Personal Recognizance or PR bonds that allow defendants to get out without posting bond. They just have to promise to return for their next court appearance. Some of them, like Stephanie Martinez, are leaving court only to be re-arrested for worse crimes.
Martinez is charged with beating 80-year-old George Black to death. He was attacked while feeding pigeons outside the state Capitol in May of last year.
A felon with a history of violence going back more than a decade, Martinez had been charged in two separate assaults just two months before the murder and released by Denver County Court on probation in the first case, a PR bond in the second.

The news outlet found thousands of other cases in Denver where those accused of crimes ranging from kidnapping to sexual assault of a child have been allowed to walk free after handing over a dollar or two, and many of them are now accused of committing additional crimes while out on bond.

Colorado Crime Rate Soaring As Suspects Walk Free
This is what happens when a state chooses gun control over crime control.
