Hogwash. Boise, population about 220K, had ONE murder in 2011...and that was a strangulation. Maybe they meant NYC has the second lowest homicide rate among CommieLib cesspool cities.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I’ve got a better idea. Allow everyone to “keep and bear arms” and blow holes in every punkass that presents himself. If the principle at Sandy Hook were alive today, I bet she’d agree.
What's Carroll County's homicide rate compared to NYC?
Sensible Gun Measures? HAHAHAHAHAHA. When the Chief Executive and the Attorney General decided not to follow the law, so did a lot of other people.
That is, in effect what happens today when buying from a licensed dealer. Select your gun, pay for a federal/state check, wait for certification (which for me has only ever taken a few to several minutes), purchase your gun.
One other restriction should be applied - anyone wiht a known association with a criminal gang will be denied. I don’t expect this to reduce the number of gang deaths, but it might give law enforcement the handles they need to put a lot of feral punks in prison.
Even if the author is right, which he is most definately not, I would rather the horrible massacres and murders we read about would happen daily than to diarm the citizens for one simple reason. We know for a fact that when a government disarms its citizens, the murder and torture of millions will certainly follow.
We can debate continuously about the best way to deal with terrorism, gangsters, organized crime, workplace violence, etc. But taking away our guns is off the table. Period.
The first indicator of true propaganda.
Total murders in Carroll County, MD, 2 or fewer per year since 2005. Total Carroll County population? over 170,000. Murder rate? Well under NYC's "second lowest rate in the country". As Joe Wilson said (truthfully) to another liberal: You lie! The question isn't how many guns, it's how many guns in the hands of decent people. Baltimore makes it difficult for decent people to get guns, while Carroll County makes it easy.
By this idiot’s logic Chicago should be the safest place in the country. But, of course, we know better.
As usual, the left is twisting the truth to fit its needs. Just like the “assault weapon” lie (there is no logical reason an “assault weapon” should have greater restriction than a standard semi-auto hunting rifle) - you cannot go to a gun show and buy a gun from any of the dealers there without a background check (at least not in my experience). It is possible to buy from the very few private parties selling a gun(last one I was at I saw 2 private sellers). It is no different than me selling my .22 to my neighbor. THAT is the loophole they are all agitated about - it is NOT a gunshow loophole, it is a private sale loophole. If they called it a private sale loophole, folks wouldn’t get as excercised about it. If they call it a gunshow loophole everyone has visions of all those hordes of people going to gunshows able to buy any gun without background check or restrictions. It is an intentional deception - in other words, a flat-out lie!
Any time a liberal says, “The sky is blue” verify that information for yourself!
