Police officers are being shot nationwide. A young girl in Chicago took two stray bullets to the head and died. Thus far this year, the nation has had 27 mass shootings.
Who or what is to blame? That depends on whom you ask, and sometimes, which news outlet is reporting.
New York State
New York’s “progressive” governor, Kathy Hochul, blames “illegal guns” for the recent shootings of two New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers, one of whom died. He was a 22-year-old rookie.
“We have a moral obligation to do everything we can to fight the scourge of illegal guns on our streets,” Hochul said in a statement. “Too many lives have been lost because of illegal firearms that should never have been on our streets.”
The cop-killer, Lashawn McNeil, used a gun he wasn’t legally allowed to own, with a 50-round drum magazine that is illegal in New York state.
So, who or what is to blame? Spoiler alert: the illegal gun didn’t load and fire itself. Maybe guns aren’t the real scourge here.

Or better yet, blame the criminals.
There is no such thing as a “robbery gone bad”; that’s called MURDER. The press and the police need to stop using this phrase, as it implies that the murderer somehow had no choice but to shoot his victim — in this case, a 51-year-old grandmother. The criminal tried to rob the woman, she said no, and the man pulled a gun and killed her. He could have chosen to walk away, get a job, and live a crime-free life. (If the criminal hadn’t chosen to shoot the victim, would this be a “robbery gone well”?) Everyone has choices. This clown chose to rob a woman, and he chose to shoot her when she wouldn’t comply.
BTT
next public health crisis: gun violence
global warming after that
They’re mentally deranged. They live in a fantasy utopian dreamlike world. They cannot mentally handle it when reality jumps up and bites em square on the azz. They cannot cope with it. They just can’t handle truth. They have to ALWAYS blame anything, anybody but themselves.

I do better with written words, due to hearing impaiment form 2 Meniere’s attacks.
Remember idiots like AOC and her “defund the police” campaign last year? Funny how we haven’t heard a single word from her this week nor does she even have the courtesy to mention hero NY PO Jason Rivera who was murdered. Instead on her Twitter, she talks about universal income, protesting with Marxists for “workers justice”
They can’t get past their cliche political slogan “gun violence” caused by “illegal guns.”
Would this scenario ever happen?
Urban Youth One: “Our 5 day waiting period is done over with now.”
Urban Youth Two: “Now we can legally take our guns to commit crimes. Let’s go.”
No more than thugs turning around in frustration as they see a sign “Gun Free Zone.”
All politicians are the same to me at this point. They’re nothing but a bunch of self-entitled, no good, two timing, backstabbing, miserable scumbags and slimeballs who only care about themselves.
They're Marxists that believe in the doctrine that the "criminals" are forced into their behavior since they are victims of capitalism. To the Marxist, the criminal is actually the victim while their "victims" are the actual criminal since they are capitalists.
Marxism is a public health crisis that needs to be urgently dealt with!
Yeah, all Liberals are pathological lying hypocrites who lack all morals, shame, empathy* and accountability.
* Well Liberals do have empathy, for criminals and murderers. They will never shed a tear for a victim of their policies. A Woman pushed in front of a subway, they don’t care. Police shot, they don’t care. Communism kills 100’s of millions, they don’t care. 1000s raped in Sweden & Germany by their refugees they brought in, they don’t care. But hey, give a serial killer the death penalty and they get all bent out shape and break down.
It just shows what kind of psychopathic monsters Liberals have by the fact they only capable of empathy for criminals and other psychopathic monsters.
I thought this article was going to be about all the covid deaths caused by their policies, they are blaming on the unvaccinated.
Same here. So many bodies stacking up articles, so little time.
I don’t think the GangBangers and career criminals doing all of this are carrying legally purchased guns.
That being said no city is going into the hot spots where these criminals reside to do anything about it.
Back in my teenage days in NYshi**y, one of my sisters boyfriends when I met him asked me if I wanted to buy a gun.
That was 45+ years ago, imagine how it is now.
According to the 2020 census, blacks are 12% of U.S. population.
According to the FBI's 2019 crime stats, blacks accounted for 56% of all homicides.
Among homicide victims where the race was known, 55% were black.
The per-capita offending rate for African-Americans was roughly eight times higher than that of whites, and their victim rate was similar.
In the 'defund the police' era, these numbers rose significantly. There was a 30% increase in murders in 2020, and we are likely to see another significant increase for 2021.
There’s a simple solution here: simply announce a gun amnesty, making all guns legal. Presto! No more illegal guns. If, in fact, the problem really was due to illegal guns, as she says, and so many others say, then it would vanish in an instant.
OTOH if the problem didn’t clear in an instant, then it must not be due to “illegal guns”, meaning that they are demonstrably misattributing the problem, which might prompt people to wonder what the actual problem was, and what to do about it.
The police are too busy enforcing mask and vaccine mandates to be bothered with shootings.
Fist destroy societies cohesiveness then bring it under the rule of oligarchs. Simple, eh what?
I'm getting to the point where I want to see the armed scum chasing the lawmakers up the street and into the hoosegow.
