Study Shows Leading Cause Of Gun Violence Is Those You Disagree With Politically

Via The Babylon Bee

POLK, UT—An exhaustive new study from the CDC reveals that the leading cause of gun violence in America is your political opponents. Researchers looked at a number of potential causes of gun violence such as mental health, family situation, cultural shifts, gun laws, rap music, videogames, sugar consumption, and the actual gunman, but by and large, the most prominent cause of gun violence was what most already suspected. The fault lies with those who you disagree with politically.

Researchers say they almost forgot to even consider the idea that the shooter had any volition or free will of their own. After looking into it, they said that the gunman was, “…a moot point. The fact is, even if the gunman didn’t act, your political opponents would have caused the violence one way or another,” lead researcher Karl Porkenheimer. “They wanted this in the first place.”

Other findings include:

  • 99% of gun violence will end the moment your political opponents are wiped from existence
  • A large amount of gun violence is prevented every year by vulgar tirades against your political opponents online
  • Tests revealed large traces of blood on the hands of your political opponents

“These results are pretty conclusive,” said Porkenheimer. “Your political opponents are the real problem here. Americans have a lot of work to do, and that work starts with calling those you disagree with politically murderers. If enough of us can manage to do that, just maybe we’ll see a shift in these horrible attacks.”

I don’t see much difference between the two parties on the violence front. The top reason for gun violence is stupidity. Lack of self-control, poor impulse control. I bet prisons are full of these types.

(FLEA – BIG MIKE IS SAYING NO!)

yahsure,

Found this in the comment section of the above post on Zero Hedge.

IT’s THE DEMOCRATS!

THIS IS NOT MY RESEARCH BUT I LIKE IT.

Finally the truth and the mass shooting solution!

THE LIST:
– Nidal Hasan – Ft Hood Shooter: Registered Democrat and Muslim.
– Aaron Alexis, Navy Yard shooter – black liberal/Obama voter
– Seung-Hui Cho – Virginia Tech shooter: Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff, registered Democrat.
– James Holmes – the “Dark Knight”/Colorado shooter: Registered Democrat, staff worker on the Obama campaign, #Occu¬py guy & progressive liberal, hated Christians.
– Amy Bishop, the rabid leftist, killed her colleagues in Alabama, Obama supporter.
– Andrew J. Stack, flew plane into IRS building in Texas – Leftist Democrat
– James J. Lee who was the “green activist”/ leftist took hostages at Discovery Channel – progressive liberal Democrat.
– Jared Loughner, the Tucson shooter – Leftist, Marxist.
– Ohio bomb plot derps were occupy Wall St. Leftists.
– Harris and Klebold, the Columbine Shooters – families registered Democrats and progressive Leftists.
– Bill Ayers, Weather Underground bomber – Leftist Democrat.
– Lee Harvey Oswald, Socialist, Communist and Democrat – Warren Commission said he killed Kennedy…

Why are no conservative NRA members involved in mass shootings?

Curious, isn’t it? So I was thinking, maybe we should just make it illegal for Democrats to buy guns?

Gun Control is a huge political issue right now. Democrats are all about infringing on Second Amendment rights. They claim that Republicans and NRA members are mainly responsible for “gun violence” and are the reason why “common sense Gun reform” laws need to be enacted. I had my doubts about their claims and decided to crunch some numbers to see which political party’s members commit more firearms murders.

I began by finding the most recent number of firearms murders (strictly murders, this doesn’t include suicides or justifiable homicides). The source I used: the Center for Disease Control WISHERS website. I chose the most recent year they had available (2014). According to the CDC, there were 10,945 murders involving firearms in 2014.

Next I needed to find an accurate source for murder rates by race. This needs to be broken down by race because each race will have different murder rates and voting rates, which is important for getting a final product based on political affiliation. The source I used was the US Department of Justice’s homicide report published in 2011. The information contained in this report was averaged from 1980 to 2008. Here are the murder rates that can be found on the third page of the report:

• 52.5% were black perpetrators (Blacks are only 13% of the population yet commit 52.2% of the population’s murders? Are you kidding me…here is most of the problem… 1352)

https://www.infowars.com/black-crime-facts-that-the-white-liberal-media-darent-talk-about/

• 45.3% were white perpetrators (Whites are 72% of the population)
• 2.2% were perpetrators of other races

Lastly, I needed to find the political affiliation for these races. The source I used was Cornell University. I chose to use information from the last presidential election (2012). Here are the voting rates for the Democrats broken down by race:

• 93% of blacks voted Democrat
• 39% of whites voted Democrat
• 67% of everyone else (average of all races other than black/white) voted Democrat.

With numbers in hand, I began my calculations. First up was calculating the number of firearms murders by race. There are a few assumptions in this calculation. For on thing, it assumes that the murder rate from the 1980 to 2008 time period is somewhat correct for 2014 (the year I’m using for fire arm murders). It also assumes that there is a 1:1 victim to perpetrator ratio (we all know that this isn’t always true, i.e. mass murders by one perpetrator, but this is the easiest way to compute this information). Here are my calculations for 2014 fire arm murders by race:

• 5,746.12 firearms murders by blacks (10,945 x .525)
• 4,958.09 firearm murders by whites (10,945 x .453)
• 240.79 fire arm murders by others (10,945 x .022)
• After this was complete, I needed to bring in another variable: political affiliation.

This calculation would give me the total number of firearms murders for Democrats (this political party is a continuation from the calculations above) in 2014 broken down by race. Again, there are a few assumptions here:

• The 2012 political party affiliation is correct for 2014 (the year I’m using for firearm murders)
• There is a 1:1 political party affiliation to each perpetrator ratio (we also know this isn’t completely correct because it assumes that every perpetrator belongs to one of these 2 political parties). We have to make this assumption because there is no other data to go off of for this portion of the analysis and I believe that any error caused by it would only be +/- a few percentage points (hardly enough to have any substantial influence over the outcome).

Here are my calculations for 2014 firearm murders by race and Democrat affiliation (using this party again to remain consistent):

• 5,343.89 firearm murders by black Democrats (5,746.12 x .93)
• 1,933.66 firearm murders by white Democrats (4,958.09 x .39)
• 161.33 firearm murders by other Democrats (240.79 x .67)

Time to add these up to find the total number of firearm murders that were perpetrated by Democrats in 2014:

• 7,438.88 total firearm murders by Democrats (5,343.89 + 1,933.66 + 161.33)
• Lastly I found the percentage of firearm murders that were perpetrated by Democrats in 2014:
• 67.97% gun murders are committed by democrats (7,438.88/10,945)

According to my calculations, about 68% of all firearm murders in 2014 were committed by Democrats. Only 32% of all fire arm murders in 2014 were committed by Republicans.

This means that Democrats committed twice the number of firearm related murders than Republicans (68/32 = 2.125). This leads to three very important conclusions:

• Republicans aren’t to blame for the number of firearm murders, as the Democrats try to claim
• If Democrats stopped shooting people, we could reduce our firearm related murders by almost 70%
• Guns aren’t the problem, Democrats are!

Finally, the answer to most murders!

Let’s just disarm all the Democrats!

If we all just follow our leaders blindly and totally support every cockamamie nonsense especially from the left we can be free weeeeee !!!
Don’t think for yourself they have a government office and pill for that !
The fact that our government at all levels are punishing productive people by a confiscatory tax system that redistributes earned wealth to those not willing to earn by work for anything is why people are getting pissed and every now and then like a loose cannon someone goes off in a rage mad as hell and the “THEY” babble away about hate and gun sand poof next

It’s not White Nationalism per se; it is White male frustrations and hatred of 55 years of Affirmative Discrimination. Politically Correct double speaking forked-tonged Communist SOBs won’t admit the truth that liberal anti-White racism (Reconstruction II) is the core cause of the divisiveness in America.

We have all traveled the “infringe” direction for some time now.
Has it helped?
No?
Well how about we try a new direction.

The actual solution is:
Make conceal carry manditory for everyone over 18.
38 revolvers are mailed to every person on their 18th birthday.
1000$fine for not carrying.
We will always have the evil and insane, they are part of life.
But if everyone was armed,
The evil and the insane will weed themselves out in short order.
A small amount of horror to have a paradise is a small cost.
Every right comes with a corresponding responsibility.
Your pal
Scott.

cDc – feeling left out has been scrambling for some years now – doubtless driven by sevearal politicians – to get their voice into the barrel for the anti gun contingent. Remember anti gunners a re soft terrorists attempting to dismantle out constitution. They are as much of a threat as the holy snack bar crowd…. time to address them as such.
