The lockdowns didn't do shit. If anything, it made more people sick and it definitely created a multitude of other problems.
I know that's the Bleach Drinker Bible version.

Soooooo? Why do the democrats keep releasing the murderers and rapists?
That is the question you have to answer.
That's reality. There's no source out there that can 1. Prove that the lockdowns suppressed the spread, nor 2. That the vaccine suppressed the spread.I know that's the Bleach Drinker Bible version.
Ah, it's just the darkies, so no big whoop, right Dick Tiny?
Sadly, that's too true. The only time we give a crap about the gun violence is when a crazy white person shoots up a school or a theater.
This fails as a post hoc fallacy.A look at the Crime Victimization Survey shows a decrease in gun crime even as gun murder in democrat party controlled cities is going up....of course, the victims of gun murder are majority criminals shot by other criminals.....
But what the media ignores is that the number of violent gun crimes dropped dramatically in 2020. Last October, the US Department of Justice released a study showing victims reported 212,470 gun crimes to police in 2020, a drop of 27% from the 290,790 in 2019. The share of violent crimes committed with guns also fell – by over 30%.
Of course, victims don’t report all crimes to the police. To get a handle on that, the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey interviews about 100,000 Americans each year. That survey also finds that the estimated number of gun crimes also fell by 27%, from 481,950 to 350,460 and that the share of violent crimes involving guns was only 7.7%.
In 2020, there was a statistically insignificant few percentage point rise in the share of murder committed with guns, but the share of guns used in robberies and aggravated assaults has dropped dramatically.
All this is consistent with academic research by myself and others showing that when civilians carry guns criminals are less likely to carry them. If a criminal pulls out a gun against an armed victim, he is more likely to be shot.
Gun ownership didn’t fuel the increase in crime over the last couple of years. Rather, people worried about violent crime and decided to arm themselves for self-protection.
It’s not hard to find explanations for the increased violence. Many urban areas saw more than half of prison inmates released because of the pandemic, and the releases still continue. Nationwide, there are over 340,000 fewer inmates in jails and prisons in 2021 than in 2019. In many places, police budgets were cut and officers ordered to stand down. New York City cut its police budget by $1 billion.

Prosecutors in many major urban areas have refused to prosecute violent criminals. In October, two rival drug gangs got into a gunfight in Chicago during broad daylight. The fight, caught on video, left one shooter dead and two others wounded. Cook County District Attorney Kim Foxx declined to prosecute any of the gang members, initially explaining they were “mutual combatants.”

Because they served their time? Come on, buddy, you know better...
As for rapists, only 3% of rapists ever see the inside of a prison cell. I'd personally like that to be more, but then we'd have to let the drug dealers out.
Thank you for your zero-content response.
I think it compliments your zero-effective ideas on reducing gun violence. But that's not something you want.Thank you for your zero-content response.
Whatever concern is shown for crime victims by people like you only extends to how the victim's suffering can be capitalized on, to exploit for power to restrict those who you perceive are opposed to your agenda.
This is proven simply by examining the proposals your ilk present to address crime; They never work to impact crime, only to expand government control over people . . . Of course not the people who are doing the killing. Your agenda's interest in killers is to nurture, protect, excuse even facilitate their war on society, for that horror provides the plausible argument for gun control.
That's reality. There's no source out there that can 1. Prove that the lockdowns suppressed the spread, nor 2. That the vaccine suppressed the spread.
You people need to get a fucking grip.
^A Well Thought out Reply..So gun crime is down unless youcount people victimized by guns... interesting.
Meanwhile, in the real world, the number of murders shot up in 2020... mostly because when you lock people in their houses with a gun, they really tend to get on each other's nerves.
They wouldn't be able to make war on society if it wasn't so easy for them to get guns.
83% of murders are committed by people who know each other. We have met the enemy, and he is us
Other countries that had lockdowns and more vaccinations have had higher infection rates, too. The UK, France, Ireland, Netherlands all have higher infection rates than The United States. All are highly vaxxed and strictly locked down.You mean other than countries that had complete lockdowns and wider vaccinations haven't had our casualty rates.
You see, the thing is, the US has 4% of the world's population and 18% of the Covid deaths (it was at 25% under Trump)
Compare that to Japan, where they have had strict lockdown and they have only had 18K deaths compared to our 800K.

What -are- my ideas on reducing gun violence?I think it compliments your zero-effective ideas on reducing gun violence.
Why do I now want to reduce gun violence?But that's not something you want.
Other countries that had lockdowns and more vaccinations have had higher infection rates, too. The UK, France, Ireland, Netherlands all have higher infection rates than The United States. All are highly vaxxed and strictly locked down.
Japan has fewer people than The United States. Of course they will have fewer deaths...lol. Not to mention, the death numbers in The United States are inaccurate.
You are so full of crap . . .
I challenged it and asked you before to support your this "83% . . . " claim of yours. It's obvious you don't really know the particulars of the 83% stat you have thrown out dozens of times in he last year. Why is your description / breakdown of the 83% never specific and so lacking consistency?
I have read it to be:
Wow, you seriously linked to every post? Man, that's pathetic and sad.
Most people who are murdered are murdered by people they know. FACT.
Strangers have no reason to kill you. They don't know you.
But, those countries are more vaxxed and have more restrictions than The United States ever did. How do you explain that? Is it because the lockdowns did more harm than good?The UK had a higher rate because Boris Johnson is almost a big an idiot as Trump. The countries with LEADERSHIP had lower rates.
Uh, Japan has lost 18K people out of a population of 130 million.
We lost 800K out of a population of 330 million.
Wow, you seriously linked to every post? Man, that's pathetic and sad.
