IMHO, I think this rat gun grabbing is a Godsend. The stupid party actually needs this overeach by the rats.

is the imagined threat common crime or our government?

There is a double meaning in the article’s title that I am sure is intentional.

As far as I know, Communism has been a common enemy all my life.

The run on guns and ammunition has nothing to do with a perceived threat from criminals, at least not the garden variety type.

The people that are stocking up are thinking of bigger threats.

This is like saying “Why are we vaccinating our kids against polio? Nobody has polio!”

Treat black crime statistics separately, and the US comes in the middle of all those other countries.

Why are blacks so violent?

“The violence has dropped, meanwhile, even as gun ownership has increased.”

And crime and gun violence has dropped MORE in States that passed conceal carry permit legislation than it has in States that did not.

Sort of like if a corrupt town hires a go-getter Police Chief and he makes a lot of arrests - guess what? According to the way they count it - CRIME GOES UP. If a crime goes unreported and a criminal unarrested - it doesn't count towards crime statistics.

Currently violent crime has not been this low since 1963. It peaked in the early 1990’s (IIRC) and has been going down for the last 20 years or so.

That’s right, Monitor, ignore the media conspiracy to make people think gun crimes are at epidemic levels.

The DNC has won the culture war.

The threat to the working class is real.

US prisons over flow with convicted violent democrats.

There is always a threat and it isn't imaginary.

They got this exactly ass backwards.

Instead it should read that “The states are “disarming” Americans in light of an imagined threat.”

The real threat comes from the state.

With gun violence down, is America arming against an imagined threat? (+video)

Is an armed America driving down gun violence?

Yeah, it’s making the rats absolutely insane that the more they talk about taking guns the more we buy. Ha! Coming after our guns is getting logistically and realistically harder and harder!

Reminds me of a headline I gazed upon once: “With crime rates so low, why are the prisons filled?”

Leftists are truly amazing in their inability to see cause and effect when it’s staring them in the face.

With criminals locked up – crime rates fall.

When innocent people can defend themselves, criminals are a ‘disadvantage’ and they can’t ply their ‘trade’.

Why can’t Leftists figure these things out?

They can no longer credibly argue that guns should be taken away because they CAUSE violence.

So they’re arguing that they should be taken away because they are no longer needed against violence.
