In the summer they blame the weather, in the winter they pat themselves on the back for “working” tactics that they implemented.

A bunch of BS if you ask me, just like that which they refer to as “gun control,” that we know is actually “people control.”

The more compelling statistic would be; how many of those people could legally own a firearm under existing laws. Speaking with a LEO friend last night, a VAST majority of the firearms they take off of people are held be people that couldn’t legally own them in the first place. New laws would have done NOTHING to deter them from illegally posessing a firearm like they currently do.

Sociology 101, the reversion to tribalism . . . blame it on guns, blame it on drugs, blame it on fatherless homes, its all bunk. Its the law of the jungle baby and its always been with us and it always will be.

966 shooting incidents in approx. 222 days. Averaging over 4 per day.
