NYT gets desperate on guns
Apr 30, 2022 08:17:15 #
Speaking of the left’s desperate attempts to deny the obvious, gun experts are slamming the New York Times’ attempt to connect the recent surge in violent crime to the increase in legal gun sales.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/increase-gun-sales-2020-increase-violent-crimes-experts
Gun rights researchers say most crime is committed with stolen or black market guns, and there is zero statistical evidence connecting rising legal sales of guns to the skyrocketing crime rate. In fact, many recent gun purchases have been due to citizens, especially women and minorities, buying guns to protect themselves from the rise in crime and the delayed police reactions caused by liberal policies. As one expert pointed out, legal gun sales in the US have been rising for 30 years as crime dramatically fell. If legal gun sales caused the crime surge, why did that only happen in the past two years?
There's a lot of info at the link, so read the whole thing. But I’d link to it just for this quote about violent criminals and gang members from the Heritage Foundation’s Charles Stimson:
“They're not going to the gun show with their kids and their wife and their Labrador retriever, with their red, white and blue flag on their car.”

I once heard a saying that a New York Democrat is the only thing in the world stupider than a broody hen.

They put the cart before the horse. Gun sales went up because of the rising crime rate and because of the absolutely insane defund the police idiots getting their stupid way. Communists are so stoooooooopid, they should be thrown in prison for their own good.

Most of the criminals I know buy their guns at popular gun and sporting goods stores.

I don’t think that’s true.

I know about 81 million. I know them because they expose themselves daily.
