BOB MCMANUS: Cost of left’s anti-anti-crime folly: 4-year-old shot in Times Square.

 

 

https://nypost.com/2021/05/09/cost-of-lefts-anti-anti-crime-folly-child-shot-in-times-square/

Heard the ABC news brief story about incident this AM. Of course, no mention of the race of the shooter ( or the victim) which means one thing. The shooter was not white. We can probably also assume the racial background of the victim. They were sure to include that the shooter “ intended t to shoot his brother “. Guess that makes it okay then. Having our media controlled by libs and staffed by lib “ journalists” is downright awful.

Most of the girls I went to school with shot guns.  That was over 40 years ago. What's your point? 

Works for me. I’m pretty sure these girls won’t be shooting children in the streets of NY city.

GUN CONTROL IS MUCH MORE POPULAR WITH THE POLITICAL CLASS THAN WITH VOTERS: 

 

Americans gave President Joe Biden (D.) among his lowest marks on gun policy in a poll published Monday.

Using children to push violent rhetoric is disgusting...


I’ll ask again. Whose violent rhetoric was this picture pushing?  What is the context of this picture?  Do you even know? 
 

And yes it’s likely disgusting that YOU’RE the one using children to push an agenda no?

STUDY: Have U.S. Gun Buyback Programs Misfired? 

 

“Gun buyback programs (GBPs), which use public funds to purchase civilians’ privately-owned firearms, aim to reduce gun violence. However, little is known about their effects on firearm-related crime or deaths. Using data from the National Incident Based Reporting System, we find no evidence that GBPs reduce gun crime. Given our estimated null findings, with 95 percent confidence, we can rule out decreases in firearm-related crime of greater than 1.3 percent during the year following a buyback.”

Buybacks don’t work. Theyllget some guns sitting around in basements and buried in closets. Thugs don’t turn their guns in. Another failed lefty idea. They just don’t understand how things work in the real world.

Mass shooting insurance? 
 

As normality filters back into American lives after a year of lockdowns, hospitals and other institutions are busy making provisions for one aspect of that old normal they would rather consign to the past - mass shootings.

Last year was the least deadly for U.S. mass shootings in a decade, a Reuters tally shows.

But spring has brought a resurgence and insurers are reporting a jump in demand for protection against such events, at a time when the pent-up traumas and frustrations of living through a pandemic are also re-entering the public domain. read more L1N2MW0GX

Client inquiries for what the industry calls active shooter policies have risen 50% year on year in the past six weeks, said Tarique Nageer, Terrorism Placement Advisory Leader at Marsh, the world's biggest insurance broker.

Since the the pro life party is all in on guns... it only makes sense that we will see more like this in America:

 

2-year-old boy shoots both his parents

Flood the country with guns, what could go wrong?

Alway with the complaints but never an idea of how to solve the problem.  What do you suggest?  

Send community activists, diversity trainers, and critical race theorists out to the street gangs and drug cartels to demand they turn in all the weapons.  Now that would be permanent cancel culture.  LOL!!

2-year-old girl among 37 shot in Chicago since Friday evening

Chicago Sun Times Wire (IL), by Staff

 

https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2021/5/15/22437535/chicago-weekend-shootings-may-14-may-17-crime-gun-violence-homicide

 

 

Chicago has very strict gun laws and this happens weekly.

 

Can it be explained without trying to blame neighboring states ?
