Colorado passes universal background checks and legalizes pot. Violent crime up 25%

[Remodeling Maidiac]

you're taking the argument that "gun laws will lower gun crime..."

That was never my argument nor part of this thread.

YOU inserted it in order to win a pointless victory.

My thread is 100% accurate

Ohhh your thread implies it,

Lol ok so now you're functioning along the lines of the current democrats....

The tread doesn't state what you've argued against but you "feel" it is implied...

You're too much. You know what you can do with your "feelings" right?

Colorado approves universal background checks for gun purchases

Report: Colorado’s violent crime rate continues to climb

So what can we learn here. Can the government actually protect you or your property with laws?

Hmm

I just checked crime stats at https://coloradocrimestats.state.co.us/tops/report/violent-crimes/colorado/2014 and compared with 2018, the latest date on the state of Colorado's website, since they passed their gun laws in 2013.
2014 violent crimes 18,480 firearms crimes 4,018
2018 violent crimes 25,480 firearms crimes 6,303
Agree. Looks like bad trend to me.
Tennessee
2014 violent crimes 35,853 firearms crimes 9,829
2018 violent crimes 38,526 firearms crimes 12,521
A worse, but similar picture.
We only have the background checks mandated by the laws of United States and have not legalized marijuana.

Laws do not protect people as society grows more violent.
Cops do not protect people in most instances. They are not required to according to the Supreme Court, and usually show up too late.
The problem in these two states does not relate to background check laws or Marijuana decriminalization.
Be trained to survive if you're life is worth surviving for.
Own equipment to use as tools in your self defense if needed.
LEAVE OTHER PEOPLE THE F*CK ALONE.

I wouldn't be caught dead with a full magazine.
