President Joe Biden is still trying to paint the crime surge as a gun issue in order to redirect it toward gun control. He used his speech on Wednesday to focus far less on crime than on 'regurgitating the same tired gun-control talking points' that he and every other Democrat has trotted out for years.
For Biden, this is just a pretext to try and finally gain traction for Democrats’ gun-control plans. If crime were the real issue, Biden would not be constantly pushing an “assault weapons” ban, when rifles of all types account for less than 4% of all gun homicides. Biden also apparently has nothing to offer when it comes to the nationwide surge in carjackings. Biden doesn’t want to address the real issue at hand — his party’s nonchalant attitude toward crime.
This is an issue of Democrat-run cities not being willing to get tough on crime, not guns..... These cities cut police budgets and excused or shrugged off the riots that followed the death of Floyd in Minneapolis. They also saw a substantial increase in homicides.
Democrat-run cities have signaled there are few consequences for violent crimes and that police, not criminals, are the targets of their mayors and city councils.
Biden has no plan to fight violent crime. He doesn’t even care enough about the issue to address it head-on.... This is not a gun problem. It is an enforcement problem. Democrat-run cities have shrugged off their duty to protect their residents as they rushed to embrace an anti-police ideology. People who actually care about the crime surge, such as Adams, understand this. Biden rejects it because addressing violent crime isn’t as important as pushing one of the long-failing agenda items of the Democratic Party.

Joseph Stolen is an idiot
He and the Dems use any excuse to promote their agenda. Get rid of private citizens’ guns and leave them helpless when the total Communist takeover national police force makes 2021 look like Mister Rogers Neighborhood.
Reducing crime is quite simple.
Arrest criminals and keep them behind bars.
Democrats refuse to do that.
Been there. Done that. Saw the movie. Read the book. You got my birthday wrong. I was born the day BEFORE yesterday.
“Joseph Stolen is an idiot.”
The doddering old fool is a disaster for the country.
Duh, he only cares about ice cream.
How would the media react if this was President Trump.
Oh that right they made up crap about Trump because they couldn’t get him on anything real.
Well we know exactly how they’d react..and take him to the mat.
I bet they use that to get him to do what they want! LOL.
