NRA brilliant ad: "America's gun problem: too few people own one"

[BlackFlag]

Not enough good people have guns.

Every bank robbery attempt should be met with an immediate hail of gunfire from every law abiding citizen within range. Anything less is not enough good people with guns.

I will give up my guns when the world and ALL her govts give up theirs.
Deal?

Yeah look at all these guys with guns, taking on the government like total badasses:

Boy, You do realize that America’s military is overwhelmingly pro second amendment, on top of that the government would not even use the military against Its own people it would use the deep state...

What kind of army does this "deep state" of yours have?

Dumb fuck, no one is asking you to give up all your guns, unless they are all weapons of war. And even then, if you can pass the requirements of a class 3 license, you can have those. I know of no mass murders like we are seeing in this nation committed with a Winchester 94.

You are the dumb fuck...

They want to ban the AR-15, not a weapon of war, not used by the military..... but say they will let us keep pump action shotguns...which actually are weapons of war and are currently used by the U.S. military for war....

That is how stupid you are....

And, moron...... if you can kill 5 journailsts with a pump action shotgun, a weapon of war, you can kill just as many with a Winchester Rifle....

Do you practice being this stupid, or does it just come naturally?

400+ million guns in the country, easier for a criminal to get a gun here than anywhere in the world, and the NRA says not enough. Trolls, indeed. Deadly ones.

And yet....while more Americans bought and now carry guns....

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 17 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...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.

Murder rate is up two years in a row

Murder Is Up Again In 2017, But Not As Much As Last Year

Yes.... because of Black Lives Matter and obama attacking the police......since all of those violence rates were going down until 2015, you can see the damage obama and Black Lives Matter were able to do in just 2 years...

Hard Data, Hollow Protests

The reason for the current increase is what I have called the Ferguson Effect.

Cops are backing off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals are becoming emboldened.

Having been told incessantly by politicians, the media, and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at 2 AM, many officers are instead just driving by. Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it.

Seventy-two percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew Research poll released in January. The reason is the persistent anti-cop climate.

Four studies came out in 2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization of the police—including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional athletes. The toll will be felt, as always, in the inner city, by the thousands of law-abiding people there who desperately want more police protection.

And more on the Ferguson Effect.... the left wing movement that increased gun murder in democrat controlled, Black neighborhoods...

Homicide Rate Is Rising? Do Tell!



While not trying to ascribe a cause, CNN does acknowledge that the uptick beginning in 2015 has been concentrated in a handful of cities.

Steve Sailer draws the obvious conclusion:

Hmmhmmmh … Chicago, Baltimore, and St. Louis … Weren’t those in the news? Something to do with Black Lives Matter?

The obvious cause for the increase in murders during the last years of the Obama administration was the Black Lives Matter movement, which was enthusiastically endorsed by the White House. It led to numerous unfair attacks on law enforcement, which in turn caused officers to police less aggressively. When police officers are afraid to do their jobs for fear of career-ending charges of racism, criminals prosper. Baltimore is the most notorious example, but the same phenomenon has happened in other cities where law enforcement has been besieged by the Left.

-----

Does that have anything to do with the recent spike in homicides? Were carry laws loosened in Chicago, Baltimore, Kansas City or St. Louis prior to the increase? Are the states where murders spiked after 2014 the ones where the law permitted residents to “carry a loaded concealed gun with you…with no license”?

No. What did change in the last years of the Obama administration? The obvious answer is, the Black Lives Matter movement and the associated attacks on law enforcement.
