Imagine..if you target gang members and not law abiding citizens, gun murder rate goes down:Detroit

[2aguy]

Yep...as we keep telling the anti gunners.....target criminals, not law abiding citizens...you will actually have an effect on crime by targeting actual criminals.....Detroit is finding this out....even as their citizens are carrying more guns...

Detroit police's Operation Ceasefire takes guns off the street

"We went from 201 non-fatal shootings in 2015 to a 125 last year," Decker said.

Detroit police says homicides are down in the precinct as well.

Operation Ceasefire is a collaborative effort taking aim at gun violence and gang crime--by targeting the few Detroiters making life miserable for the rest.

"A lot of that initially starts through the event that is referred to as a call-in," said Bishop Daryl Harris, of Operation Ceasefire.

Harris and others are from the Ceasefire outreach team--- they build relationships with gang members and affiliates whose parole or

Probation orders require them to participate in a call-in--where they come face to face with Mayor Mike Duggan, Chief James Craig and US Attorney Barbara McQuade and are confronted with a choice.

Keep in mind...the Police Chief of Detroit called on the law abiding citizens to arm themselves......and his crime rate went down 12%....

Detroit Police Chief: Crime Going Down Amid Spike in Legal Gun Ownership

The Detroit police chief has called on the law-abiding people of his community to arm themselves.

Now, James Craig says his city has seen a drop in crime of 12%, as Detroit moves lower on the list of America's deadliest cities.

In 2014, the Detroit police department issued more than 1,100 handgun permits, while more than 8,100 guns were registered in the city.

The number of shootings and robberies dropped from 2013. Home invasions are down 17% so far this year, Craig said, following a drop of 38% last year.

Craig noted that in a survey of 1,800 felons, the respondents pointed to "armed citizens" as the thing they were most afraid of.

Craig said his police officers are doing tremendous work, but said that there are more and more incidents in recent years in which a criminal encounters an armed individual.

Now...according to anti gunners...this can't happen.......they still believe that more guns carried by law abiding citizens will increase the crime rate....and this just isn't true, factual or reality.....

What a novel idea!

Chicago COULD change overnight, but Progressives need a demon. To them, it's the gun. Not the thugs they arm.

The mistake you're making is you're giving 1 program credit for a drop in murder rates. If we are going to be honest, it's likely that any of the few people who were willing to turn in a gun, weren't going to murder anyone to begin with.

We need to crack down hard on the gangs and the thugs....

If true, the rate would not have dropped. Engage brain, then post.

It wasn't a gun turn in.....the program from the first link targeted actual gang members, and likely shooters...that is what the first post is about...the second link is to show that arming law abiding citizens doesn't increase the gun crime rate....
