Certain that yet another round of gun control laws are needed to reduce violent crime in the U.S., activists have forgotten two fundamental issues. The first is that people who murder, rape, rob, or assault pay little attention to our laws. Perpetrators of violent crime will not be stopped by anything but an opposing force. The second issue is that gun control laws have never been shown to be effective. Gun control advocates are adamant that the pages and pages of anti-2nd Amendment legislation are effective and the country needs more. No proof is needed; they just know it. The reality is that impartial data show that these activists are completely wrong.
While those passionately supportive of gun control have convinced the gullible that severe restrictions on firearms will eliminate violent crime in the U.S., this is just not true. As we have been urged to do during the COVID-19 pandemic, we must examine the data, follow the science, and do the math on gun control and violent crime. To accomplish this, consider the most recent full year of data from the FBI publication "Crime in the US, 2019" and a legal expert's rating on the relative severity of gun control in each state from the Traveler's Guide to the Firearm Laws of the Fifty States. Data from these sources is graphed for each state and presented in Figure 1. The blue dots indicate the crime rate per 100,000 state residents. The higher the blue dot is on the graph, the greater the violent crime rate for that state. Crime rate values are displayed on the right-hand vertical axis. The relative firearm freedom in each state is indicated with a red bar. A short red bar indicates that a state has very restrictive firearm laws.

Since when do Democrats care about crime? It’s all about control.
We’ve know this for a long time. Why waste money on another “study” when many other studies have come to the same conclusion over decades. Quite honestly just look at the crime stats from huge blue urban centers and it’s evident.
Look at all those Democrat/liberal run cities with draconian gun laws that have more shootings than conservative cities with less restrictive gun laws.
Daya is for people who think. Need and emotional survey to convince a liberal.
Yeah.
If criminals could actually learn to read in school they could read the Gun Free Zone signs.
“Gun Control laws” are never about reducing crime.
They are just small steps towards completely disarming citizens.
It almost makes me wonder if they don't have some other agenda in their minds.

DemonRats aren’t interested in truth, they are only interested in power. They’re so stupid that they don’t realize that they are finished in this country. What fools.
So you think that’s what they’re up to? They want to disarm non-violent citizens so they can wield absolute control over us?
I say we conduct a trial phase of gun control.
Heres my plan....we begin by forcing all secret service members who are in charge of protecting the “big guy” as well as those protecting the great whore, to surrender their weapons.
Next phase, is to mandate all congressional bodyguards to surrender their weapons as well.
If gun control works, then they should put their weapons where their legislation is.
If the plan fails, well then, that may just be an added bonus by eliminating the REAL problem. ;-)
All in signify by voting aye...
[[Data show gun control doesn’t reduce US violent crime]]
It increases it- just look at chicago for proof
Who would guess that Criminal politicians support crime?
#KeepCongressFencedForever
Does not matter. The people advocating for “gun control” will continue to do so. It is not now, never has been, and never will be about safety. Anyone with an iota of common sense can see that disarming law abiding citizens or even just making it tougher, costlier, or take longer to obtain or maintain the means to defend one’s life makes us less safe. “Gun control” is not about safety, it is about control. The ultimate goal is complete civilian disarmament. They’ll never admit it publicly, at least not until they are prepared to try to force it upon us, but that is their end goal.
Most of you don’t get it.
The government will hire some of the finest scientists at our most prestigious universities to review this data and they will come to conclusion the data supports gun control. Then we will have to support science and pass gun control. Any alternative reviews will be considered debunked and banned by the MSM and social media.
Ban young inner city black males. .... If it saves just one life....
They should have included the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, The U.S. Virgin Islands (both extemely strict gun control and very high crime rates) and Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and U.S. Samoa.
