FBI Report: Gun crime continues to decrease, despite increase in gun sales

[ryan3030]

Hate to say we told you so

 

[Kedric]

That's perfect

 

[UncleMike]

Well........
Imagine that!
I wonder how the Liberals will spin this news?

 

[booey50]

But the cities that have high gun crimes live next to states that have little or no gun laws...

If your number one plan doesn't work, i.e. crappy gun laws in big cities, blame the stupid rednecks next door...

 

[the1kidd03]

Im a recently returned student and I had to do a paper last semester on it,...the department of justice did a study in 2009 of all inmate records....and of ALL violent crimes committed only something like 7% was a GUN used.....furthermore, OF THAT 7% around 80% of the weapons were obtained from FTF transactions or other illegal means

Never forget that gun control is not about guns, it's about control. There isn't anyone involved in gun control efforts that isn't a devout statist.

If it keeps the Bad Guys away I'm happy to be the Stupid Redneck next door!

Golly...could it be that gun crime is going down because now we have so many good guys carrying them?

 

[MadBomber]

Well........
Imagine that!
I wonder how the [STRIKE]Liberals[/STRIKE] statist anti-gunners will spin this news?

There...FIFY..

 

[Expat]

I will handle this.

It just isn't true. I don't care what the facts are. You are all simply wrong. I will have my willing accomplices in the press just ignore the whole thing. If I can say cold weather is due to global warming. I can deny this as well.

There. That wasn't hard.

 

[Sylvain]

But wait ... how is it even possible???

Criminals buy their guns at the local gun shop so crime and gun sales should be related right?

Sadly, yes there are. There are those who are ignorant and can be educated. These are the people who OCers expect to meet, who may actually want to talk and think they're going to stop their "foolish behavior". They are the same people who we CCers may encounter if we accidentally are "made", so we may have the same opportunities. Be on your "A" game, folks. You may just make a difference today.

It is said that when an honest man who is mistaken is shown the truth, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest. I am of the opinion that the majority of people are basically honest, ergo, there is great potential for those people to cease to be mistaken.

Blessings,
Bill

Thanks Expat!!
I'm glad you straightened that up for us.
I was afraid no one would stick up for the libtards.

You are correct.

I was unclear.

My statement was regarding the full-time Brady Campaign, MAIG, IANSA, etc. types, not the poor sods who they've brainwashed with their propaganda. The average Joe on the street, if allowed unfiltered, factual, logical information, can be shown the truth in such matters. I've had several opportunities to answer questions without malice or hyperbole with great success. Even if the person didn't feel it was something they could do, they understood the logic and motivation behind my decision to carry.

Living I the PRB however, I kept such information to myself most times, lest I start a stampede for the courthouse square for the organization of yet another protest.

Which is why I now live in Evansville.

Hey now, there's nothing illegal about FTF transactions...yet. Why are you being such a statist, statist?

And mine was more generally directed; though I answered you, the post was more along the "something to keep in mind" lines.

I posted some months ago about going to my daughter's house for something or other and in the course of the visit, while sitting on the couch, my shirt having ridden up. One of her roommates' did a

and asked, "is that a gun?"

I replied calmly, "mmhmm." <pause> "and you've never seen me without one."

Suddenly, it wasn't so scary to have this thing she'd just noticed in her living room, once she thought about the fact that the guy who had it had been there doing various "fix-it" projects, brought food when they were low, etc. Despite being raised in Chicago and wanting to be a teacher like her mother, suddenly all the paranoia and propaganda fell away and she could see clearly to the truth.

Now, I'm not saying she instantly wanted to go get her LTCH and was ready to head to Knob Creek, but the door that prior to that would have been firmly locked was now open. It's a slow process, but in this case, it happened without any real effort. I was just me. I lived my life normally, but when the opportunity came, I took full advantage of it and opened a mind.

Gotta love it! Thanks for the link. I just posted it to all my social media sites!

“You’ve got states with weaker laws right at the border and have populations that are constantly coming in and out,” Brewer said. “Chicago is right next to Indiana, which has almost no gun laws.”

If only that were true. The FBI did the spin at the end ans said that the statistics are "misleading".

We as gun owners are responsible for knowing the laws as best as possible, and need to "armed" for any situation that may arise to inform and educate not only the anit-gun sheeple but also the gun owners who don't want to take to the time to learn the law.


Thanks for posting the article.
