Stop Blaming Guns And Convict Guilty People

  • Friday, April 15, 2022

Earlier this month in Sacramento, it was clear a gun did not transform itself into an automatic weapon. It didn’t seek out six other guns for a deadly shootout. The Sacramento Bee reported it was a gang related feud among people with lengthy criminal histories that led to that violence.

In Brooklyn, a man in a gas mask fired a pistol 33 times causing injuries to 29 people either through wounds or the chaos that ensued. Police found a rented U-haul van full of weapons of terror: a hatchet, smoke bombs, gas canisters and fireworks. Is anyone surprised the man charged with the crime had a lengthy criminal history?

How much did zero bail and “defund the police” contribute to this crime as felony assaults in NYC on the subway were up 25 percent from 2019 to 2021? (Time, Josiah Bates, Apr 14, 2022). The new mayor promised more transit officers, so where were they? The new governor gave the “we’re not going to tolerate this violence” speech-the usual tough talk and empty promises from progressives.

As NYC gears up for Earth Day with stop fracking rallies, car-free days, marches against this and marches in favor of that, they should consider who they might call if things get violent. It won’t be the Climate Change Czar or social services.

In the meanwhile, stop blaming guns and convict guilty people with laws on the books. Stop George Soros-style early releases of violent criminals or giving them zero bail. Increase police presence in the subways and maintain CCTV cameras with some of the Biden bucks he showered on big cities.

Finally, vote against progressives at every level of government.
