'You don’t care': Twitter bulldozes Ted Cruz for defending guns while 'praying' for Club Q victims

[frigidweirdo]

I bet that the victims who were shot wished that they had a gun at the time

I bet they wish the other person DIDN'T HAVE A GUN more.

What’s particularly reprehensible is that Republicans refuse to address gun crime and violence with possible solutions having nothing to do with the regulation of firearms.

It is the liberal prosecutors in the blue cities that are allowing violent criminals to leave jail without posting bond. Of course as usual you blame republicans for the resulting crime waves.

Liberal prosecutors across the country have overseen significant crime waves in America's major cities this year — and have largely stood by their aggressive reforms.The district attorneys came into office vowing to address the inequality they say plagues much of the criminal justice system, to...

What’s particularly reprehensible is that Republicans refuse to address gun crime and violence with possible solutions having nothing to do with the regulation of firearms.

If you look at gun violence over time, there was a huge peak increase of 10 times the normal with the start of Prohibition, and again with the start of the War on Drugs.
So then the solution is obvious, end the War on Drugs, just like ending Prohibition made gun violence drop back down.

'You don’t care': Twitter bulldozes Ted Cruz for defending guns while 'praying' for Club Q victims

It took less than eighteen hours for United States Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to politicize Saturday night's mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where a twenty-two-year-old man armed with an "AR-15-style rifle" murdered five people and injured eighteen others before being...

It is my bet that Club Q had a ”no guns” policy. Did it have armed guards and if so how many?

Bad guys ALWAYS have weapons.
It is it not an individual criminal, it is a gang, or a corrupt police state.
Does not matter which.
All honest people still need guns and always have.

Anti gay rhetoric. What's Anti gay? Oh. It's "leave the children alone."

Do they really? I guess that's why the murder rate in the UK is 1/6th the US murder rate.

Why? A six inch knife works as well.

Why? A six inch knife works as well.

But it doesn't, does it?
A knife requires getting closer. It gives the defender a much better chance of fighting back. It requires nerve, it requires guts.

Hence why most of the US's murders are committed with GUNS and not knives.

America's knife crime figures worse than Britain despite Republican's claims

Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed Britain has 'mass stabbings' while Donald Trump tried to suggest that the UK has an epidemic of knife crime comparable to the US's shootings problem

www.mirror.co.uk

The US has more knife murders than the UK:

Latest figures show 4.96 homicides “due to knives or cutting instruments” in America for every million of the population in 2016. In Britain the figure was 3.26.

That's 0.496 knife murders per 100,000 people compared to 5.9 gun murders per 100,000 people in the US. That the UK's murder rate of 1.2 per 100,000 people is way, WAY below the US's gun murder rate alone is telling.

The US's problem is a culture of violence with weapons, the UK doesn't have this. The worst are the Yardies and those around the Yardies (like enemies). The Yardies are originally from Jamaica.

The United States has a culture of violence. If you don't like it, there is a big world out there.

Your handlers don't give two shits about gun deaths. If they did they would have you screaming about the murders in cities like Chicago, but they won't because the plan is to get firearms out of the hands of law abiding citizens. If you sheep would look at the issue logically you would realize your being used.

 

[Godboy]

They simply do not care about the danger they create.

We created danger? How?

 

[pknopp]

We're not fooled by those wishing to have communism take over the country, Mr. Jones. If you take guns away from people who cooperate, you get a lot of criminals with guns and no one to fend them off. After all your party pushed defunding the police, and how'd that turn out? Murder rates skyrocketed all over the big cities of this naiton, that's how it turned out.

While I support your right to own a gun, I don't support the words of people like Cruz who demonize people simply because they lead a different lifestyle than thiers.

Could it possibly be be part of that is due to the US having a much larger population? Or maybe even drug cartels from other countries being more prevalent in the US?

 

[Maxdeath]

I do have to laugh at those that claim we need more gun laws. We have well over 20,000 gun laws on the books now. Yes that is well over Twenty Thousand laws. Yet just one more will make it perfect.

 

[frigidweirdo]

No, why would it be due to the US having a larger population?
This is PER 100,000 people.

The UK is far more densely packed. The UK is 4/5ths the size of Idaho with 65 million people. Idaho has 1.9 million people. The UK has a population nearly as big as California and Texas combined, but only 93,000 square miles. CA has 163,000 square miles, Texas has 268,000 square miles.
England is even worse. England has 50,000 square miles, but has 56 million population. 1,124 people per square mile. That's a higher density than Athens, Georgia, as a city.

Higher population density is more likely to lead to problems of urban living. But it's not about population density, or population size.

List of United States cities by crime rate - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Worst crime for a city is Albuquerque, New Mexico. Population density of 3,000 people per square mile, compared to NY city's 29,000 people per square mile.

Worse murder is St. Louis, 4,888 people per square mile.

Population simply has not much to do with it. It's because of POLICIES.

Drugs are an issue, but then the UK also has lots of drugs.

So you are claiming population or the lack of density is the the reason. While that is not supported by science.
You seem to not understand that culture, plus a larger population tends to allow for more psychological problems to be allowed in a sampling than a smaller population.
In the US there is well over 20,000 laws on the books which curtail gun ownership and control, Chacago has some of the most stringent yet the murder rate is high.
You do understand that only those who are willing to follow the law are affected by the law right? Murder in any form is against the law and has been but yet there are still murders committed every day. So laws only work on those willing to follow the law.
