How much of this rising rate of gun crime perpetrated with legally owned guns? If you will take the time to research the FBI statistics you will find the percentage to e relatively small. Most gun crime is effected with illegal guns.Violent crime is rising right now thanks to guns. We have lots of unrest caused by police shooting lots of people. This is something that doesn't happen in countries with strong gun control. Our police shoot a lot of people because they are themselves often shot. Again this doesn't happen when there is strong gun control. So because we have weak gun control we have all this unrest which is increasing violent crime.
So what do you suggest we do about that? Enact more repressive gun laws -- as we've been doing with the drug laws for half a century with absolute zero effect?
Lots of legal guns, guarantees lots of illegal guns. We need stricter gun control. Where there is strong gun control, there is little gun crime.
Up to 600,000 guns are stolen every year in the US – that's one every minute
With the most guns in the world and the highest incarceration rate we still have much higher crime rates than other civilized countries with gun control. We also have many unique problems to our country like mass shootings, school shootings, over 50 police shot and killed each year, our police shoot many, many people, toddlers shoot people, road rage shootings, women shot by significant others.... Too many guns.Who is this “we” stuff? The U.S. has spoken. We want more guns. Only the fascists such as yourself want less.We want less guns, not more.
Nothing fascist about wanting fewer dead cops and lower crime rates. Why do you want so many armed criminals?
Then you want more good Americans carrying guns....as more good Americans carry guns, our crime rates go down...
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 16.3 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

Violent crime is rising right now thanks to guns. We have lots of unrest caused by police shooting lots of people. This is something that doesn't happen in countries with strong gun control. Our police shoot a lot of people because they are themselves often shot. Again this doesn't happen when there is strong gun control. So because we have weak gun control we have all this unrest which is increasing violent crime.I did not speak of coincidence .... I spoke of correlation and causation. Quit trying to change the discussion to fit your preconceived mission.Mass shootings happen often when there are lots of guns. They are rare when there is strong gun control.I was going to rant and rave about how wrong you are ---- but I decided not to.Mass shootings happen often when there are lots of guns. They are rare when there is strong gun control.
Instead, I will only say that you are trying to back into a plausible justification for an untenable position where none exists. Your connectivity of the prevalence of guns to the frequency of mass shootings can't be justified. Yes, there are more guns - yes, there are more mass shootings --- but the number of guns does not increase the number of mass shootings. There is no causal factor proven. There is a correlation, yes - but not a cause. If that were so, eliminating X guns would mean there will be a Y decrease in mass shootings.
There are more people --- there are more mass shootings. Are you proposing that we should limit the number of people in order to prevent more mass shootings? There are more cars -- there are more mass shootings. Are you proposing that we should limit the number of cars in order to prevent more mass shootings? There are more apartments --- there are more mass shootings. Are you proposing we should limit the number of apartments in order to prevent more mass shootings??
Mass shootings are NOT a result of guns - "guns" is merely the methodology. Mass shootings ARE a direct result of a societal decrease in concern for others. Mass shootings ARE a direct result of a perception of a lack of ultimate reckoning for their actions. Mass shootings ARE - and I know this will make you uncomfortable - a direct result of a transition of our society from a Christian morality to a secular morality. As our concern for our fellow man has withered, we are more willing to self-justify harm to our fellow man as a viable solution to our confrontations. As man has increasingly come to believe that he is the ultimate authority - which has to be the epitome of arrogance - we have increased our capacity to rationalize our extreme actions.
It is nonsensical to believe that strict gun control will have a positive effect. The proof of the fallacy of this simplistic misinterpretation of the reality is no further than Chicago of Washington DC. Draconian gun control laws have had no effect on the murder rates in these cities - in fact, they can be considered as direct contributors to the death rate.
Guns are NOT the problem - the person pulling the trigger is the problem. As long as you allow yourself to be distracted from addressing the root of the problem, the longer, and the larger, the problem will become. Mass shootings is the symptom - not the disease. You don' kill a tree by cutting off the limbs.
It isn't a coincidence we have the most guns and the most mass killings, cop killings, school shootings, accidental shootings, cops killing the most people, toddler shootings... It is frankly quite silly to think it is a coincidence. These are things that are rare with strong gun control.
Here is your task ..... there is an increase in guns, and an increase in mass shootings. Explain the causation.
Then ... there is an increase in people, and an increase in mass shootings. Explain the causation.
Somehow, you seem to believe that just the sight of a gun causes people to go crazy and kill hundreds. Somehow, you seem to believe that, if the gun weren't there - in all its malevolent glory - the person would not harbor ill will and act on it.

No....we had crime increasing during the end of obama because of the Ferguson effect....created by obama and his left wing black lives matter supporters and their other assholes in the ACLU attacking the police.....getting them to stand down....
Hard Data, Hollow Protests
The reason for the current increase is what I have called the Ferguson Effect.
Cops are backing off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals are becoming emboldened.
Having been told incessantly by politicians, the media, and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at 2 AM, many officers are instead just driving by. Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it.
Seventy-two percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew Research poll released in January. The reason is the persistent anti-cop climate.
Four studies came out in 2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization of the police—including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional athletes. The toll will be felt, as always, in the inner city, by the thousands of law-abiding people there who desperately want more police protection.

The only thing that changed happened in 2014 when obama, you and other democrats decided that attacking the police was a good idea, and letting violent criminals out of jail was a better idea....that is what changed.

The reason for the current increase is what I have called the Ferguson Effect.
Cops are backing off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals are becoming emboldened.
Having been told incessantly by politicians, the media, and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at 2 AM, many officers are instead just driving by. Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it.
Seventy-two percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew Research poll released in January. The reason is the persistent anti-cop climate.
Four studies came out in 2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization of the police—including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional athletes.

Thanks to the Bill Clinton crime bill and added gun control. Now that gun laws are getting weakened we see this:
FBI: Violent crime increases for second straight year
That seems to have a positive effect on crime.How much of this rising rate of gun crime perpetrated with legally owned guns? If you will take the time to research the FBI statistics you will find the percentage to e relatively small. Most gun crime is effected with illegal guns.
So what do you suggest we do about that? Enact more repressive gun laws -- as we've been doing with the drug laws for half a century with absolute zero effect?
Lots of legal guns, guarantees lots of illegal guns. We need stricter gun control. Where there is strong gun control, there is little gun crime.
Up to 600,000 guns are stolen every year in the US – that's one every minute
Yes...criminals steal guns....what we need is a law that says it is against the law to steal guns.
Meanwhile.....law abiding Americans, with their legal guns, stop violent criminals 1,500,000 times a year according to bill clinton and his Department of Justice Study....just one study of many that shows defensive gun use is common for law abiding Americans......

And that is all because of too many guns. Police shoot too many people because of too many guns. Cops are shot too often because of too many guns. These things don't happen with strong gun control.
FBI: Violent crime increases for second straight yearViolent crime is rising right now thanks to guns. We have lots of unrest caused by police shooting lots of people. This is something that doesn't happen in countries with strong gun control. Our police shoot a lot of people because they are themselves often shot. Again this doesn't happen when there is strong gun control. So because we have weak gun control we have all this unrest which is increasing violent crime.Violent crime is rising right now thanks to guns.

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

The reason for the current increase is what I have called the Ferguson Effect.
Cops are backing off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals are becoming emboldened.
Having been told incessantly by politicians, the media, and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at 2 AM, many officers are instead just driving by. Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it.
Seventy-two percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew Research poll released in January. The reason is the persistent anti-cop climate.
Four studies came out in 2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization of the police—including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional athletes. The toll will be felt, as always, in the inner city, by the thousands of law-abiding people there who desperately want more police protection.

And that is all because of too many guns. Police shoot too many people because of too many guns. Cops are shot too often because of too many guns. These things don't happen with strong gun control.
No...cops are shot because the sociopaths our welfare state has created. Law abiding citizens who own close to 600 million guns are not shooting police officers. Young males, in democrat controlled voting districts, raised by single, teenage mothers and without fathers, are shooting police officers with guns that they cannot legally own, buy or carry....and then, when they are caught with those guns, and even when they commit crimes with those guns.....you and the other democrats keep letting them go.....
That's funny, countries with much stronger social programs and gun control don't have a cops getting shot problem. Try again.
The countries of Europe were set back culturally by World War 2.....they are now catching up...their crime rates and gun crime rates are going up.....massively.......they are where we were in the mid 1960s......and they have taken guns away from the victims of violent crime...so nothing will lower their violent crime rates...
