Because he tries to persuade his audience that "guns are evil" and criminal behavior is caused by by them and that is combined with his fear of firearms. Again the usual shifting the blame on objects and circumstances to excuse human behavior and removing the object of his fear.I always take discussions that deal with the abrogation of my rights very seriously. Why don't you?
Um...so you find it odd that places with higher crime rates have more people in prison. That confuses you. Seriously?
I find it odd that people say locking people up rather than any other form of crime prevention works. Because in the US people are locked up like kids eat candy. 707 people per 100,000 compared to 148 for the UK. Seriously?
Also, Louisiana having the highest rate of incarceration with their private prison system which encourages the police to lock people up and make them come back in the future, rather than rehabilitation. Louisiana also has a really bad crime rate. It's not working.
However people come out with the simple stuff, "criminals need to be responsible for their actions", the problem is who is responsible for the ineptitude of politicians who are in charge of a society which is broken and which is breeding criminals?
Yep, it's be the "criminals" again.
Parla inglese??? Molto bene.. Have you ever considered moving to the UK?Because in the US people are locked up like kids eat candy. 707 people per 100,000 compared to 148 for the UK. Seriously?
The US government has adopted policies that ensure racial hatred and violence will increase. It's all part of the divide and conquer mentality that progressives have. Unity is never their goal. They only thrive when people are miserable and at each others throats.
Switzerland is expensive as hell to live in, and 99.5% Caucasian.
Violence in Europe is increasing at a rapid rate. What planet do you live on again? The UK is leading the pack.. They witnessed a 77% increase in violent crime over a period of a few years thanks to progressive policies.
"Analysis of figures from the European Commission showed a 77 per cent increase in murders, robberies, assaults and sexual offences in the UK since Labour came to power.
The total number of violent offences recorded compared to population is higher than any other country in Europe, as well as America, Canada, Australia and South Africa.
Opposition leaders said the disclosures were a "damning indictment" of the Government's failure to tackle deep-rooted social problems.
The figures combined crime statistics for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The UK had a greater number of murders in 2007 than any other EU country – 927 – and at a relative rate higher than most western European neighbours, including France, Germany, Italy and Spain."
UK is violent crime capital of Europe - Telegraph
Gun crime in the US is decreasing, save in progressive controlled cities. There it is either increasing or holding steady.
You just say a few things then shove in "progressives" every so often.
Do you know what the biggest problem in the US is right now? Both the Republicans and Democrats. Don't kid yourself that the republican policies are in any way designed to unite people. They're policies will only unite people if everyone stops supporting the democrats and loves the Republicans, and it isn't going to happen, is it?
Basically both sides spend their whole time fighting each other and as little to no time actually trying to find out what is the way to make things actually work.
As for the UK and Europe. Yes, the UK went through a period of a rise in crime. This was generally due to a rise in gangs from other countries, mostly Jamaica, coming in and changing how crime was being conducted in the UK. However what the police and government did was tackle the problem, and the problem is being reduced. In the US all that would have happened would be each side would have slagged each other off for causing the problem and done nothing about it.
UK crime rates have been going down for more than 10 years.
Yes, the UK has a higher murder rate than many European countries. Norway had, in one set of stats a more than double murder rate, however I get the feeling that was because of that one killing that took place in 2011.
However the "really high" murder rate in the UK is 1.0 per 100,000. Compared to a range of about 0.6 to 1.0 being the norm for European countries. Compared to 4.7 for the US, or 10.8 for Louisiana, or 4.6 for Alaska.
You say gun stats are going down. Alaska's isn't. Their 4.6 is up from 3.1 in 2009.
Louisana's is up from 1999 when it was 10.7, it goes up, comes down, goes up, comes down. It's lower than the 1990s when it was getting up to 20, however it isn't going below 10 where it was in the 1960s.
Then again a state like New York is seeing murder rates at "only" 3.3 which has been going down, or Connecticut which is at 2.4 and has been dropping after a rise around 2010.
Seems a lot of the murder rate in the US is dropping because of more liberal states seeing more of a drop.
As for UK violent crime states. Again, the UK reports a lot more than the US, it's difficult to compare.
The crime rate in the UK has been rising for the last 25 years. The "dip" in reported crimes came when the Metropolitan Police decided to classify all crimes at a single address as one crime. So, take your average apartment block. 18 crimes go down there in a weekend. According to the police that is ONE crime.
Police did alter crime figures, admits Met chief Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe
"Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe told MPs that the preliminary results of an internal inquiry had already indicated that some of the allegations by Met Pc James Patrick that crimes such as burglary and rape had been wrongly downgraded or written off were accurate.
Sir Bernard’s admission came during a tense appearance in front of the Commons Public Administration Committee during which he also admitted to inadvertently misquoting a report he had written himself."
Police did alter crime figures admits Met chief Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe - Crime - News - London Evening Standard
There have been changes in the way crimes were reported. However the police under-reporting crimes isn't new. It's not new for the UK, it's not new for the first world either. The US has major under-reporting of crimes too.
The article you reported is from London. Does it happen elsewhere? Probably. Was it happening before? Probably. Does this mean there was a dip in the statistics because the Met Police were under-reporting crimes? Not necessarily. Again, what was going on before.
Manipulating crime statistics
"The main problem is that the data reported in this annual report are among the most unreliable of all social data. They often become mired in politics and bureaucratic manipulation to put forward a positive image about the criminal justice system's response to crime. In fact, in recent years many police departments have been caught "cooking the books" concerning their official crime statistics. Some police administrators may knowingly falsify crime reports by undervaluing the cost of stolen goods, or report a "larceny from a person" that was an ordinary pick pocketing as a "robbery" (or vice versa), or even exaggerate the number of "gangs," and "gang members” in order to get federal funding to create or increase the size of a "gang unit."
Expert FBI Manipulated Crime Stats to Show Increase in Mass Shootings Alex Jones Infowars There s a war on for your mind
"
The Federal Bureau of Investigation purposely distorted its latest round of annual crime statistics in an attempt to make mass shootings appear more prevalent, an expert criminologist says."
Crime statistics are what they are. You have to understand them, and that can be very difficult.
As I said, comparing British violent crime statistics with US violent crime statistics is a minefield. The US's version of "violent crime" is so different from the UK's version. Also things like rape are treated differently so end up with different statistics, ie, the US's rate is extremely low for what probably actually exists.
While Switzerland has high gun ownership it is directly linked to military service and everyone has months military training, all guns are locked away, properly maintained...Who knows. What's the murder rate in the UK and Canada again?
Higher than Switzerland.
While Switzerland has high gun ownership it is directly linked to military service and everyone has months military training, all guns are locked away, properly maintained...Who knows. What's the murder rate in the UK and Canada again?
Higher than Switzerland.
Switzerland is also a wealthy country with twice the GDP per Captia of US...
If you want to use Switzerland as an example of high gun ownership then adopt Swis gun law...

How does that impact gun ownership? The right to gun ownership is tied to military service?While Switzerland has high gun ownership it is directly linked to military service and everyone has months military training,
Locked away where? At their homes and government has the padlock keys?all guns are locked away,
…interesting, and how does that impact the right to gun ownership?properly maintained...
So, "poverty" is responsible for gun violence?Switzerland is also a wealthy country with twice the GDP per Captia of US...
Switzerland was used as an illustration that it is not the gun but the person pulling the trigger is responsible, it is not the abundance of firearms what causes gun violence.If you want to use Switzerland as an example of high gun ownership then adopt Swis gun law...
Arms ownership is part of the Constitution… why do you call people "gun nuts" who actually respect and uphold the Constitution and not pissing on part of it you don't like.Oh that's right.....everyone would be dead, except the bad guy.
Cincinnati man shoots at 1-year-old boy is shot by man with concealed carry permit Fox News
If the man hadn't have been able to get a gun in the first place then what?
If the man had been able to buy a gun but it had cost a lot more, and he knew it was more likely to be confiscated by the police if ever found, then what?
Some facts. The US locks up more people than every country except one. It's lock up rate is 707 per 100,000, only the Seychelles has higher. England and Wales has 148. So, for every prisoner in the UK, the US has 4.7.
The US has a murder rate of 4.7 per 100,000. The UK has 1.0 per 100,000.
Supposedly locking people up helps reduce crime.
Louisiana has the highest incarceration rate in the US, and higher crime rates than most states. Clearly that doesn't work.
The US has more guns, more murder, more people in prison. Simple.
Making sense gets you nowhere with gun nuts.

Do you realize that Americans use guns over 2 million times a year on average to stop or prevent violent criminal attack and save lives.....
Your surrender is noted though not noteworthy....happens every time.

For there to be 2,000,000 instances a year where guns were used to stop a VIOLENT CRIMINAL ATTACK, that would be 5,480 times a day, every day. You'd figure about 1/2 of them would make the news. Yet that challenge went unanswered.
So I will now issue it to you. Find me 50 links to individual times where a gun was used to stop a VIOLENT CRIMINAL ATTACK in the US next Wednesday. I would bet you can't find 20 much less 50, and certainly not 2,740 times which would be half.
The statistic is pure bullshit. Just like you.
