Trump Is Unlikely To Commit Political Suicide by Betraying Us On Guns

Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter

Trump Is Unlikely To Commit Political Suicide by Betraying Us On Guns

Donald Trump is a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them. Like all of us, he is understandably horrified by the murder sprees of that progressive environmental eugenics weirdo and that member of Big Chief Warren’s tribe.* But Trump is also keenly aware that any betrayal of his supporters on a literally life or death issue like guns – if you’ve been listening to the left you have a good idea what miserable fate awaits you if you get disarmed and they take power – will result in his wholesale abandonment by his supporters.

Australia’s Restrictive Gun Laws Working Nearly As Well As Chicago’s

Via The Feral Irishman

Many liberal concepts begin as well meaning “good intentions”. I believe a large portion of those peoples who consider themselves liberals do not realize that they are being led or herded in a direction where the true agenda is much more sinister than the “rallying cry” they have chosen to “follow”  (i.e. gun control). I sincerely believe the people who are REALLY seek to disarm Americans (or any country for that matter) are people who have a vested interest in controlling and imposing their will upon those who are armed.

Trump: “We’ll Be Talking About Gun Laws As Time Goes By”

Tyler Durden's picture

In the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in American history, the Left has predictably ramped up their calls for stricter gun laws with everyone from Chuck Schumer to Lena Dunham suddenly voicing their ‘expertise’ on the topic.

And while Trump enjoyed strong support from the NRA throughout the 2016 campaigning season, he offered a glimmer of hope to gun control advocates this morning saying “we’ll be talking about gun laws as time goes by.”  Per the Washington Examiner:

NOT A WHITE PROBLEM

The statistics in the chart below are representative of every Democrat controlled urban shithole city in America. Obama and his anti-gun activist minions are peddling a false narrative about guns because they understand most Americans are dumber than a sack of hammers and easily manipulated by propaganda. Obama uses every high profile shooting to blame guns, in order to deflect people from seeing the truth. And the truth is guns are not a problem in white America.

It’s only a problem in the urban ghettos with the toughest gun laws run by Democrat mayors and city councils. Chicago is a perfect example of Obama ignoring the real problem. Fifty years of welfare programs and treating black people like victims has created a dysfunctional system leading to hopelessness, crime, and perpetual poverty. Chicago is 32% white, but they commit only 3.5% of the murders. Over 96% of the murders are committed by non-whites. Essentially, it is young black men murdering other black men. White people are not in the equation and are not part of the problem. It’s a black problem framed as a gun problem by Obama and his lying apparatchiks.

FEEL GOOD STORY OF THE DAY

I understand he was nice boy. He was just misunderstood. He accidentally fired his legally acquired firearm in the house he accidentally entered. If we only had tougher Obama approved gun laws, he would have never acquired the gun. Right?

I’m sure his parents would be really broken up about his untimely demise if anyone could find his parents. He could have been Obama’s son.

– A man was shot and killed when deputies say he unlawfully entered a home and fired at two people inside.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said it happened at a home on Chestnut Hills Drive around 6:30 a.m. New Year’s Day.

Chevez Antwann Fiason, 24, was shot and killed by the homeowner during the incident. No one else was injured in the incident.

Fiason was said to have a violent arrest history and was released from state prison in March 2015.

“Forcing your way into an occupied residence is a bold and foolish decision – if you are foolish enough to break into someone’s home, you can expect to be shot in Polk County,” Sheriff Grady Judd said.

The incident in under investigation, but no arrests had been made.


DO WE REALLY NEED MORE LAWS?

The Terrorists broke the law by conspiring to commit a mass-murder.
-They broke the law by illegally transporting weapons.
-They broke the law by concealing weapons without a permit.
-They broke the law by possessing unregistered semi-automatic guns.
-They broke the law by possessing guns with Illegal features and parts.
-They broke the law by possessing “high” capacity magazines.
-They broke the law by bringing guns to a gun-free zone.
-They broke the law by going armed to the terror of the public.
-They broke the law by constructing bombs.
-They broke the law by detonating bombs in an attempt to assault and murder.
-They broke the law by brandishing weapons.
-They broke the law by assaulting people with weapons.
-They broke the law by attempting to murder people with weapons.
-They broke the law by murdering people with weapons.
-They broke the law by disobeying Police orders.
-They broke the law by evading Police.
-They broke the law by attempting to murder Police Officers.
-They broke multiple traffic laws during the pursuit.
-They broke the law by endangering the public during the car chase and the police shoot-out.
-They broke the law by resisting arrest.
But we need to create more laws to stop this from happening…

CHICAGO: WHERE BLACK LIVES DON’T MATTER TO BLACKS SO MUCH

I’m sure Obama will be moving his family to the South Side of Chicago to be with his brothers after he exits the White House (racist). Imagine the hope and change he would bring by living amongst his diehard voting constituency. How come black thugs aren’t obeying the toughest gun laws in the nation? Don’t they know it’s a crime to illegally use a gun in Chicago? There should be a law. Why do black lives only matter in the rare incidence when a black man is killed by a white man? Why don’t they matter so much in the 93% of the incidences when a black man kills a black man?

Three killed, 31 wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago

Three people were killed and at least 31 others, including a 7-year-old girl, have been wounded in shootings across Chicago since late Friday.

The most recent fatal shooting happened about 1 a.m. Sunday in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side.

Two boys, ages 16 and 17, were standing on the sidewalk in the 8200 block of South Ingleside when someone walked up and fired shots at them, according to Chicago Police.

The younger boy suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 2:05 a.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. His name was withheld Sunday pending family notification.

The older boy was shot in the leg and also taken to Christ Medical Center, where his condition stabilized. A police source said the 17-year-old is a known gang member.

About two hours earlier, a 44-year-old man was shot to death in the West Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.

Adrian Jeffries was standing on the sidewalk about 11:05 p.m. in the 6000 block of South Throop when someone got out of a black SUV and opened fire, authorities said. He was struck in the head and back and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2 a.m.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE FOR CHARLESTON SLAUGHTER

Obama and his control freak government minions want you to believe tougher gun laws and more government control will protect us from mass murderers. Complete and utter bullshit. I wonder if this story will be on the all the MSM national news stations. The shooter was arrested on March 1 on drug offenses. He purchased a weapon on April 11. Here is your government drones at work. I’ve purchased guns. They will not sell you a gun until they check the FBI background computer system. Your beloved government protectors couldn’t update their computer system properly in 41 days????

The government is evil, incompetent, overbearing, and as useless as teats on a boar. The FBI is great at creating fake terrorist plots and then stopping them. Press releases abound. The MSM breathlessly announces how the government saved us again.

They aren’t so good at keeping criminals from getting guns. Obama’s solution is to pass more laws that the FBI is too incompetent to enforce.

FBI Admits Error in Charleston Suspect’s Gun Background Check

Federal investigators made an error by not stopping the accused South Carolina mass shooter from purchasing a handgun in April, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey said Friday, adding the alleged assailant’s criminal background should have disqualified him.

Dylann Roof, accused of shooting nine people at a Charleston church last month, attempted to purchase a handgun on April 11, Mr. Comey told reporters.

The FBI began a background check, but a federal examiner did not obtain a report on a Columbia, S.C., arrest record from March 1 that showed he had admitted to using drugs. That should have disqualified him from buying a firearm.


WHY DO WE NEED MILITARIZED POLICE?

So fire arm violence hasn’t gone up in a decade. Homicides have been declining for a decade and are down 45% since the early 90’s. It seems people are committing suicide at a greater rate to escape this fucked up world. It appears only one segment of American society is primarily responsible for the gun violence in America – black men between the ages of 15 and 35 killing each other. The majority of this gun violence occurs in the urban ghettos of cities run by liberal Democrats and having the strictest gun laws. Why is that my problem? Why do I have to pay for their bad life choices and the welfare policies that created it?

So why does our prison population exceed every country in the world by a huge amount? (Corporate prison profits and kickbacks couldn’t be the reason. Right?) Why are police forces in primarily white suburban areas being militarized? Why do we need more cops? Why are there 80,000 SWAT raids today when crime is far lower than it was in 1990 when there were 4,000 SWAT raids? The liberal ideologues and clueless white mothers who march to stop gun violence are either too fucking stupid or have been brainwashed by the Obamanistas and the liberal MSM and refuse to see that this is nothing but a black problem in black neighborhoods in cities run by black Democratic politicians. 

Let’s stop the politically correct bullshit and call a spade a spade. Reassign all the 2nd responders from the suburbs and their military equipment to North Philly, West Philly, Camden, Detroit, Chicago and all the other Democratic controlled urban kill zones and let them stop gun violence there. End the War on Drugs. Leave the white people in the suburbs alone.

Gun Violence In America (In 6 Uncomfortable Charts)

Tyler Durden's picture

A recent report, The Annual Review of Public Health, summarizes the basic facts of firearm violence, a large and costly public health problem in the United States for which the mortality rate has remained unchanged for more than a decade. It presents findings for the present in light of recent trends. Risk for firearm violence varies substantially across demographic subsets of the population and between states in patterns that are quite different for suicide and homicide. Suicide is far more common than homicide and its rate is increasing; the homicide rate is decreasing. As with other important health problems, most cases of fatal firearm violence arise from large but low-risk subsets of the population; risk and burden of illness are not distributed symmetrically. Compared with other industrialized nations, the United States has uniquely high mortality rates from firearm violence.

SUMMARY POINTS

1. The overall fatality rate from firearm violence has not changed in more than a decade.

2. Suicide is the most common form of fatal firearm violence (64.0% of deaths in 2012) and is increasing. Homicide is decreasing.

 

3. Homicide risk is concentrated to a remarkable degree among Black males through much of the life span. Mortality rates from firearm violence are very high and unchanged in this group.

 

4. Suicide risk is highest among White males beginning in adolescence. They also account for most fatalities from firearm violence and have increasing mortality rates.

5. As compared with other industrialized nations, the United States has low rates of assaultive violence…

 

…but uniquely high mortality rates from firearm homicide and suicide.

HOW COME CANADA’S STRICT GUN LAWS DIDN’T STOP TODAY’S SHOOTING?

Didn’t the gunmen who perpetrated this crime know it was illegal to own and use those guns in Canada? What’s the world coming to when criminals don’t obey strict gun laws? Wouldn’t it have been crazy if an armed Canadian citizen had been there and shot the criminal? That’s crazy talk. Canada will just pass some stricter anti-terrorism laws and the government will protect you. Eh?

Ottawa parliament shooting: What are Canada’s gun laws?

A soldier was shot near Canada’s parliament building in Ottawa on Wednesday in an ongoing incident possibly involving multiple shooters. Canada has far tighter restrictions than the US on owning a firearm.

By Arthur Bright, Staff writer

  • Chris Wattie/Reuters

An unidentified gunman has injured a soldier in Ottawa, Ontario, before running into Parliament Hall where more shots were fired.

The Canadian Broadcast Corporation reports that one of the shooters was a man with dark hair and armed with a long gun. According to witnesses, he fired four shots injuring a soldier standing guard at the Canadian War Memorial before running into the Parliament building. Televised reports say that dozens of shots were fired inside the building, though it is unclear who was firing or how many gunmen there were.

The soldier was taken to a nearby hospital. The shooter’s whereabouts and status is unclear. There are also unconfirmed reports that additional gunmen were involved.

The parliament buildings are currently on lockdown. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other top government officials are reportedly safe.

But for those in the US, where the debate over guns continues to rage, the incident raises the question: Just what are Canada‘s gun laws?

Though Canada does not offer constitutional protections for gun ownership the way the 2nd Amendment does in the US, gun laws have been just as controversial. In 1989, a gunman went on a rampage in Montreal, killing 14 women with a rifle. This event prompted the Liberal government to tighten gun controls in an effort to prevent its repeat.

Unlike the US, where Washington sets some gun laws and others are set by the individual states, Canada’s gun laws are predominantly the domain of the federal government in Ottawa.

Under Canadian law, there are three categories of firearms: prohibited, restricted, and non-restricted. Prohibited firearms include short-barreled handguns, sawed-off shotguns and rifles, and automatic weapons. Restricted firearms include all handguns that do not fall under the “prohibited” class, as well as semi-automatic weapons with barrels shorter than 47 cm (18.5 inches). In addition, specific guns can be designated by regulation as prohibited or restricted. Large-capacity magazines are generally prohibited, regardless of the class of firearm they are used in.

Note that despite the use of the term “prohibited,” prohibited firearms are not illegal. Rather they are governed under a stricter set of regulations. Non-restricted firearms are any rifles and shotguns that do not fall under either of the other categories.

To own any firearms in Canada, residents must have a gun license from the federal government. Licenses last for five years, and generally require passing a government gun safety course. For a resident to possess restricted and prohibited firearms, he or she must pass an additional safety course, and the specific weapons owned must be registered with the government.

Canada used to require all long arms to be registered with the government regardless of their category, but that provision was controversially repealed by Prime Minister Harper’s government in 2012.

Canadian police do routinely carry firearms, and are exempt from Canadian gun laws in regards to weapons they use on the job.

HOW ARE THOSE TOUGH GUN LAWS WORKING IN CHICAGO?

GUN CONTROL STILL WORKING OUT SWIMMINGLY IN CHICAGO: 9 Dead, 26 Others Wounded Over Easter Weekend

What was the old saw about guns and outlaws? It would appear that the corrupt, dimwitted Democrats running Chicago never heard it and can’t learn it.

At least nine people have been killed and 26 others wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday… Of the 35 people shot, 10 of them were shot on Easter Sunday.

The weekend’s latest shooting took place around 1 p.m. Sunday in the 2800 block of South Sawyer Avenue, killed two people.

A 33-year-old man was fatally shot in the head and a 19-year-old man was shot in the chest.

The 19-year-old man was taken in critical condition to an area hospital, but police said he later died of his injuries… Police said the two were traveling in a vehicle when an orange hummer [sic] drove alongside and fired shots.

…Just after 5 a.m. Sunday two people were found shot to death in a Garfield Ridge home, police said.

The two were found unresponsive just after 5 a.m. Sunday inside a home in the the 5300 block of South Austin Avenue, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada.

I wonder how many of the 9 dead will be recategorized as “noncriminal death investigations” as part of Rahm Emanual and Gerry McCarthy’s ongoing scam?

HOW TO GET RICH IN PHILADELPHIA

Michael Nutter, the mayor of Philadelphia, signed a tough new anti-gun law in 2008. He severely restricted a citizen’s ability to buy a gun. It seems he now has a bit of a problem. Philadelphia is averaging a murder per day so far in 2012. People are getting gunned down like it’s a PS3 game. So he’s got a brilliant solution. Philadelphia is offering $20,000 to anyone who turns in a murderer. What an opportunity. Driving through West Philly every day gives me ample opportunity to generate some extra cash. At the current rate of murders, I’m bound to witness two or three in the next year. Sounds like easy money.

These are the solutions that come from Democratic politicians that have ruined every urban area in the country. Let’s assess the brilliance of the Democratic rule of Philadelphia since 1950. You start to dish out entitlements to the poor voters, like welfare and low income housing. You raise taxes on the workers and the businesses to pay for the entitlements. The workers and businesses leave the city for the suburbs, leaving only the poor people. You double the entitlements so you can continue to get their votes. You raise taxes even more on the productive people. More productive people flea the city. All that remain are the poor, ignorant and criminal. As the pie continues to shrink, the scum start killing each other. What’s left of the good people scramble to get out of the city before it’s too late. You ban the sale of hand guns to law abiding citizens so that only the criminals are armed. You now have chaos and wholesale slaughter on a daily basis. Nutter’s solution will be to hire more police and throw more money at the “problem”. The next Phila budget will require more taxes to pay for his new solution. Do you think it’ll work?

Here is a chart showing gun sales in the U.S. since 2002. Do you see a trend?   

This chart is from the FBI. Do you see a trend?

This figure is a line graph that presents trends in the estimated number of violent crimes for the Nation from 2006 through 2010.  In 2006, there were 1,435,123 violent crimes.  In 2007, there were 1,422,970 violent crimes.  In 2008, there were 1,394,461 violent crimes.  In 2009, there were 1,325,896 violent crimes.  In 2010, there were 1,246,248 violent crimes.  The figure is based on statistics from Table 1.

Criminals tend to think twice if they believe the person they are about to commit a crime against happens to be holding a gun. When will do-gooder liberal Democratic douchebags ever get it? An armed citizenry is the best deterrent to crime. Nutter is a Nut. His $20,000 bounty will result in more murders. Anyone turning in someone for murder will likely become the next victim in Killadelphia.

Nutter plans $20,000 bounty for tips leading to slaying arrests

BY DAVID GAMBACORTA
Philadelphia Daily News

THE NUMBERS tell you that the city is back to where it was four and five years ago, back to a murder or two a day and an incomprehensible number of shootings.

Faced with that grim reality, Mayor Nutter yesterday announced at a news conference at Strawberry Mansion High School that the city is, in so many words, now throwing the kitchen sink at its crime problems.

There was no clever, catchall nickname for the assortment of initiatives, just a clear sense that city leaders are ready to try anything to escape being forever known as “Killadelphia.”

One initiative that Nutter said he hopes will be a “major game-changer” simply involves cash: $20,000 for tips that lead to the arrest and conviction of a murder suspect, and $500 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of thugs who carry or sell illegal guns.

“To every criminal out there, I just put a $20,000 bounty on your head,” Nutter said. “We are coming for you. We will find you. People will give up that information.”

The mayor said he had set aside $500,000 in the city’s budget to fund the reward program.

He discussed other plans:

* Doubling the city’s contribution to the district attorney’s witness-assistance program to $400,000 – an announcement that called to mind the cold-blooded murder earlier this week of North Philly store clerk Rosemary Fernandez Rivera, who had given police information about another slaying.

* Boosting the Police Department’s overtime budget – perhaps by a few million dollars, according to Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey – so that cops can work extra hours in the city’s most violent neighborhoods.

* Hiring 100 police recruits for a class that would start training at the Police Academy in June, coming on the heels of the 120 recruits scheduled to graduate from the academy in March.

* Establishing a program that would enable residents to text anonymous tips and crime photos to police.

* Expanding a Commerce Department corridor-improvement program to put surveillance cameras in residential neighborhoods and other public spaces.

And that wasn’t all.

Nutter noted that although the Pennsylvania Crime Code calls for people caught carrying illegal weapons to get up to seven years in jail, many offenders in the city often get off with a slap on the wrist – a couple of months in the slammer and a little probation.

He and D.A. Seth Williams said they want to make sure the stiffest penalties are being enforced by the courts, but were vague on how that might happen.

Nutter said the city also would establish a Gun Stat program that would bring together cops, prosecutors, prisons, and probation and parole officials to focus on closely tracking those who commit gun crimes.

Temple University criminologist Jerry Ratcliffe, who has helped the Police Department develop crime-fighting strategies, said “the more-specific, focused strategies have the best chance of succeeding. . . . It’s a good chance to try something new.”
