Anti-gun talking points ….

You will excuse me if I don't accept business advise from someone who is convinced that criminals have an entitlement to steal and business owners are under dome obligation to accept that.

Not what I said, but you do go on and on. Shrink is a legitimate calculation in the retail industry. (Not only from the public but from employees).

I don't lie about photos I copy and paste from the web. I
You lie about everything.

It seems the people actually living in the Dem / Socialist Hell hole of Portland have a view different than yours.
Portland is 72% white. It was about the most yuppified city on the west coast.

You seem to be befuddled about what you post from one page to the next. Loss from theft is a legitimate calculation. When Dem / Socialist politicians refuse to arrest those who steal up to $900 in merchandise, that policy makes businesses unmanageable. It will come as a surprise to you but a store owner can't survive by having shelves stripped clean by theft.



You are forced to retreat to childish, "you lie about everything", because your attempt at argument is dysfunctional.

What do you think happens when stores are robbed blind due to Dem / Socialist policies that entitle criminals?



Portland is just another failed city due to Dem / Socialist policies.

And Portland is leftists far leftist as you can get.

That's why they have insurance.

Again, we aren't talking about "shelves stripped", we are talking about the kid who gets arrested for shoplifting a pair of sneakers, it's not cost effective to send him to jail.

Lordy, dude. What the hell is wrong with you?

Stealing is a crime in spite of what Dems / Socialists decide is their mission to protect the criminal class.

Insurers will not provide coverage when they're guaranteed to lose money in criminal enabled areas.

Why do you think major and minor retailers/businesses are leaving Dem / Socialist Hell holes?

I gave you links which explain why.

Yes, it is because he can't commit anymore crimes while in jail. That's why "three strikes laws" were so effective at cutting crime rates. Criminals commit many more crimes than they are caught for and perhaps hundreds more before they are actually jailed. Three strikes kept them confined so none of the additional crimes never happened.

Insurance doesn't happily pay out claims. Every time they pay out, the business' rates go up and eventually the insurer refuses to pay claims at all and cancels the policy. All of which affect the bottom line of the business.

Sure it is...it's just not a big one.
I have no problem fining shoplifters and giving the proceeds to the vendors.
I just think it's stupid to stick the taxpayer for $30,000 in incarceration expenses while the Prison Industrial Complex gets rich.
I can only explain this to you so many ways before concluding you have a learning disability.

Except they weren't effective. They just led to crazy stories like the guy facing life imprisonment because he snagged a slice of pizza from some kids who were harassing him.

Boo-fucking-hoo. Still not worth spending $30,000 of my tax dollars to lock someone up over a $100 shoplifting problem.

Super! You believe that criminals have an entitlement to steal, that businesses are under an obligation to provide free merchandise to thieves and that insurance companies will provide free, unlimited claims reimbursements to those businesses.

You live in some strange, alternate, Dem / Socialist / SJW universe. The learning disability is obviously yours as the facts are that businesses are fleeing your Dem / Socialist Hell holes because of the very absurd notions you have about commerce, thievery and entitled criminals.
 
Not what I said at all, Chatbot... but you never add anything to a conversation.

Sorry, Chatbot. If you can’t write coherent sentences, don’t attempt to shift the blame.

Why don’t you give us a description that follows a logical sequence of connected ideas as to why criminals have an entitlement to steal, that businesses are under an obligation to provide free merchandise to thieves and that insurance companies will provide free, unlimited claims reimbursements to those businesses losses.

After that, you can explain why it’s not the circumstances above that are causing businesses to flee you Dem / Socialist “free stuff” paradises.
 
The Dems / Socialists are ramping up for another Jihad aimed at what they call “assault weapons”. The latest ban pressed by Chuckles Schumer was a failure so on they march now going after state legislatures.




One week after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D) failed to secure passage of an “assault weapons” ban the Biden Administration is shifting its attention to state legislatures, asking them to ban AR-15s and similar rifles.

A hundred bucks in one incident, he probably steals from ten or twenty stores a day five or six days a week. Low end, that’s a thousand bucks a day, five or six grand a week, on the high end, two grand a day, ten to twelve grand a week stolen by ONE criminal. In three weeks society breaks even on the cost of his incarceration, every week past that is pure profit. Are you stupid enough to think that criminals only one crime at a time? No, they continually commit crimes and the crimes tend to get more serious and brazen over time.

Yep....and that is just the cost of the merchandise.....throw in the cost of replacing the items, repairing rhe damage, and increasing insurance and keeping the asshat in prison is a net gain

No, "Society" doesn't break even. They are still out the cost of that stuff and we get no benefit from locking someone up for a non-violent offense.

Locking people up doesn't make the crime situation better... it makes it worse, because when you lock up that shoplifter with a bunch of murderers and rapists (you know, people who actually belong in a prison) he's going to come out a much angrier person with no job prospects.

The rest of the world has figured this out. It's why Japan only locks up 44,000 people. They lock up the people who NEED to be locked up.
 
A list of the anti-gun talking points that anti-gun extremists use instead of facts, truth and reality…..

White6, the Mitt Romney of our gun debates, Captain caveman,joe, and the other anti-gun extremists are represented on the list……

A. Gun owners are never trained enough so are dangerous and shouldn’t be armed at all.

B. Gun owners who do train are crazy psychos living out their wannabe fantasies itching to shoot someone.

C. Even though it takes orders of magnitude more effort to become marginally effective with martial arts than a gun, you are better off using martial arts and not having a gun.

D. Real Men use their hands. This is why your mom and grandma shouldn’t have guns either.

E. Twitter randos who have never been punched in the face are experts on real life violence, and whatever you have personally experienced doesn’t count.

F. No matter how trained you are, it is never enough for the hypothetical attacker they make up. Sure, your concealed handgun might be enough to stop a regular robber or rapist, but what about if you get attacked by 20 Chechen terrorists with AKs, huh? Huh? (we call this the Dracula Riding Godzilla rule)

G. If the anti-gun vulture was ever in the military, this makes them a Military Trained Expert. Even though most of the time this means they got to put 20 rounds through an M-16 once in 1992.

H. No matter how many certified MMA bad asses or combat vets go “lol wut, dork? I’d rather have a gun.” the anti-gun Twitter vulture will remain undeterred.

I. Goldilocks Rules apply. No matter how much you know about guns, you’re either too ignorant and dangerous, or you know too much and that makes you dangerous. Whatever amount the anti-gun zealot knows is Just Right.

K. Whatever stats they pull out of their ass are sacrosanct. If you cite any numbers they reflexively scream “SOURCE?!” and then have some reason they won’t accept that source when provided. “The actual FBI Crime Statistics? LAME!”

L. At some point they’ll need to talk about how big our penises are, because guns are for compensation. Obviously the female gun owners are compensating for their tiny uteruses.

M. “I believe in the Second Amendment BUUUUUUUUT-” (insert statist bullshit here)

N. If you insist on using terms correctly and words having actual definitions, clearly this demonstrates you are a fanatic. Words mean whatever they need to mean in that moment, especially legal ones.
————-

S. AR-15s are the most dangerous gun that’s ever existed. It can fire ten thousand ultra deadly murder bullets a second and each one can explode a moose from a thousand yards away. There is nothing this miracle death machine can’t do.

T. lol your AR-15s are utterly useless against a tyrannical government.

U. The NRA is an all-powerful, super evil entity which has tricked innocent Americans into wanting ultra deadly assault rifles, to satisfy their incessant blood lust. They do this through their ultra powerful marketing, like giving out free hats.


This has some value but don't put up for 'discussion' and unalienable right.
the truth or falsity of these statements has no bearing.

Once you impugn one right they have the precedent for another to go.
 
Nobody takes the Sun-Times seriously, much less the cranks who write letters to the editor.
Nobody takes you seriously when you deny the results of Dem / Socialist policies that enable criminals.
