complete and utter bravo sierra
Only certain tribes are irresponsible with guns.
” the number of people treated for gunshot wounds increased by almost half.”
Exactly! The reason is that Americans have decided criminals have no right to act criminally, and now are shooting those criminals.
When the herd of Urban Ferals has been extirpated, shootings will drop off sharply.
Until then, wrap thyself in the 2nd Amendment.
All violent deaths are homicides, including all of the bad guys that get shot even by police. The only statistic that would count is the one that the homicide is considered a murder or manslaughter by a firearm.
Your thoughts?
As if they mattered to those intent on disarming America.
Gun violence, now there is an interesting way with words, giving guns, physical, mental, and moral carte blanche, as if they had fully functional means of doing harm without human intervention.
So in the final analysis if Christ the Lord had returned for a millennial reign the progressives might have a point, but as long as the adversary, to the power of God is still active there will be a need for man to protect himself, family, friends, nation, culture, way of life, religion, rights, property, from intervention, by might from those on the left hand of God.
Gun violence could potentially SOAR, with perhaps millions of rounds of Hollow Point bullets, now in the bad guys hands.
What also isn’t being talked about recently are gangsters.
A big percentage of gun homicides are by gang bangers against other gang bangers. Such homicides are somewhat easier to track because they prefer head shots. Yet those numbers are dwarfed by gang gun attacks, for the odd reason that they are generally awful shots.
“The FBI tells us that there are now 1.4 million gang members involved in the 33,000 different gangs that are active inside the United States. The number of gang members in the U.S. has increased by 40 percent since 2009.”
So a 40% increase in just three years? It should be a bloodbath.
I could not decipher if the majority of gunshot victims were justified shootings. If, as I suspect, the ones getting shot were committing a crime, then there is no problem.
I live in a part of the country where there’s a lot of guns. In my old hometown of La Crosse, Wisconsin with a population that has held steady at around 50 thousand since I was kid fifty years ago, they’ve had about one or two murders a year since the year 2000. And a number of those murders didn’t involve firearms. Like I said, this is an area armed to the teeth. But most people around here don’t think it’s a good idea to go blasting people for no good reason.
Lazy, my ass.
More like activist.
Only where guns are illegal.
It will increase dramatically once the SHTF and the rioting feral “walking dead” come out of those urban areas to take from those that don’t want to give.
And be gunned down by those who are defending their property.
'Is Gun Violence Soaring in America?'No. Next question?
America doesn't have a: 'Gun Violence' problem.
It's urban areas have a: 'Criminal Violence' problem.
And oddly enough, all those urban areas are all run and controlled by ..... ta-da ..... Democrats!
Oh-oh .... I said 'urban areas'
.
pMSNBC says that's 'Racist Code' and a 'Dog Whistle'. (don't ask, I have no idea either)
only in the minority districts...
Here come the softening-up talking points so they can introduce their little gun control schemes.
This is the only transparency you will EVER see from these f***ing POS dems.
Just looked outside to see if any of my guns were violently soaring about. They were not.
