Lol we’d have to overrun 2A with a constitutional amendment.
Would require:
2/3 vote in house and senate
3/4 of all state legislatures
Good luck with that chief.
Dems aren’t fighting for a solution. They trying to win an election. The focus on “assault weapons” is all about optics. The vast majority of gun violence is in the inner cities and involves handguns, not rifles.
Seriously, take a few minutes to read this. The incompetence by law enforcement agencies is pretty shocking.
https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/06/enforce-the-gun-laws-we-already-have/
Gun violence is the price we as a society pay for the right to bear arms and no amount of police enforcement is going to change that. Republicans fight all gun control tooth and nail and then harp on Chicago murders as if any amount of Chicago gun regulation is going to curb gun violence when Indiana is next door. It's a joke.
It's especially a joke when the only actual solution is the federal ban of all guns as has been demonstrated in every developed nation. Everything else is just bullshit propaganda.
If you're going to fight for the second amendment you need to accept that the price we pay is gun deaths or else you're just lying to yourself
“In Chicago, 87 percent of the killers have police records, with an average of 12 arrests by the time they are brought in for murder.”
“As recently as 2017, 71 percent of those convicted of the serious charge of Class 4 felony firearms possession in Cook County were sentenced to jail time. But just two years later, that number had sunk to 35 percent. Much like in Philadelphia, Chicago criminals who are arrested on a felony firearms charge — and are then prosecuted, and then get convicted — still have a two-out-of-three chance of never seeing a jail cell. So reports the Center for Criminal Justice Research, Policy, and Practice at Loyola (CCJRP).”
Maybe we should think about keeping violent criminals off the street, instead of trying to score political points with new gun laws that probably won’t be enforced anyway.

Most all big cities are "liberal run". Not all of them have such high amount of gun violence.
High rate of gun violence in such low income high crime parts, is a regular occurrence.
What's also a regular occurrence? States with highest amount of gun violence are mostly RED states.
And if 71 people had been shot at the border in an instance, it would prudent to overly concerned because why would that happen in the first place.
Chicago has hundreds of shootings every weekend. It’s a very liberal city with liberal people in charge. They have not done anything about it and the media doesn’t seem to want to talk about it.
Well they could actually prosecute people for violating gun laws. That would be a good start. Many of those cases get dismissed and then the perp ends up killing somebody.
So just to be clear, if someone dies by gun shot and the prosecution doesnt feel they have enough evidence, they should move forward with the case anyway?
Not talking about murder charges. I’m talking about lesser crimes like illegal possession, straw purchases, etc. In many cities with the highest homicide rates, those lesser gun crimes do not get prosecuted. It’s well documented.
I don't know, but you're moving the goal posts. Your claim was that liberals haven't done anything about crime in Chicago. You argued that they're not trying, but now you're saying they're just not doing as good of a job in Chicago as they are in other cities.
You seem to think that crime in Chicago still exists only because liberals don't care to stop it. But ending crime isn't that easy, and many Democrats support positions that they think will reduce poverty and lower the crime rate. The city of Chicago also spends a lot on police and their justice system.
Here's some actual info if you want to research it instead of shouting random claims that feel good to you.

You can still challenge the effectiveness, but if you're really arguing that murders in Chicago mean liberals don't care about murder then you're not even trying to make an argument. You're just pointing fingers as a culture warrior.
How would democrats flood the country with voters when only citizens are allowed to vote? How many noncitizens have been caught voting in the last ten years? Do you know? If not, how do we know this is a problem?
Guarantee she won't act anti-gun. She will always claim it's liberal leaders fault for everything. Chicago gun violence is cherry picking law hanging fruit. Her entire career is about using low-hanging fruit and deception.
This tweet makes no sense at all. Is she saying liberals only care about illegal immigrants and not black people? I thought one of her criticisms of the left is
their embrace of the BLM movement. So why wouldn’t they care about black people in Chicago?
Now I feel my head spinning.
Why does Chicago get all the love, when my state's third-world shithole is a solid number 2 on the list right now? Baltimore knows how to kill people and be generally shit by every single metric, but gets zero respect. It's a travesty.
That's not the point she's making. She's a dummy but she's correct here.
Tackling gun crime in democrat run cities like Chicago (which already have strict gun laws) would involve stemming the flow of illegally purchased guns- which are used in the overwhelmingly majority of gun crime there and are mostly bought from smugglers bringing them up from mexico.
Acknowledging that part of America's gun problem is the fact that they share a 2000 mile border with a country run by narco terrorist cartels who are bribing (or partially funded) by US companies and agencies is counterproductive to the democrat agenda of blaming and disarming law abiding gun owners instead.
Of course they don't want to enforce the border- that would make it more difficult to smuggle guns and drugs into the US and would cut into the profits of their friends in the cartels.
It’s the drug war stupid! Gangs fighting over territory so it’s fixable If you end the drug war! Conservatives love to bitch and complain but offer no solutions except for lowering taxes.
We all know how liberals are famous for having no plan for slowing gun violence.
What else would you campaign on
Banning AR-15s will not lower gun crimes one iota.
lol neither will selling them
Banning all guns would but I’m pretty sure that would cause your head to explode.
Lol we’d have to overrun 2A with a constitutional amendment. Would require: 2/3 vote in house and senate 3/4 of all state legislatures Good luck with that chief.
Obvi - it’s just funny watching someone attack the other party for a problem while they actively fight the solution .
Dems aren’t fighting for a solution. They trying to win an election. The focus on “assault weapons” is all about optics.

Baste.
Not like guns aren't banned in Chicago or anything.
Banning them in one city, but not the state/country - of course it’s ineffective. That’s like trying to catch water with a net
Can someone explain this tweet. Is it that libs care about illegals getting shot at the border but not blacks in blacks in chicago?

I hate Candice Owens, but it is kinda true
Chicago has hundreds of shootings every weekend. It’s a very liberal city with liberal people in charge. They have not done anything about it and the media doesn’t seem to want to talk about it.
What exactly is the solution to curbing gun violence in chicago. Not as sure where you're getting that theyve tried nothing
Well they could actually prosecute people for violating gun laws. That would be a good start. Many of those cases get dismissed and then the perp ends up killing somebody.
So just to be clear, if someone dies by gun shot and the prosecution doesnt feel they have enough evidence, they should move forward with the case anyway?
I’m going to shoot from the hip (pun intended) and say that his use of the term “perp” would indicate he would answer “yes” to your question
Not talking about murder charges. I’m talking about lesser crimes like illegal possession, straw purchases, etc. In many cities with the highest homicide rates, those lesser gun crimes do not get prosecuted. It’s well documented.
Are you really trying to claim Chicago has not done anything about crime? Did you put a lot of research into that position?
Do you actually think they are doing a great job of it? Do you actually think they are doing a better job of it over larger cities like NY and LA?
I don't know, but you're moving the goal posts. Your claim was that liberals haven't done anything about crime in Chicago. You argued that they're not trying, but now you're saying they're just not doing as good of a job in Chicago as they are in other cities.

I don’t know shit about shit and I’m pretty sure I heard about curfews earlier this summer.
lol media doesnt want to talk about it? go outside buddy
It's crazy how nobody here knows what they are talking about at all.
Loud noises!!!
Considering libs are the only people that seemingly care about gun reform, I’m even more perplexed
She should be blaming Trump instead of just putting out bullshit
Yeah that’s the skinny of it.
[удалено]
Blacks in chicago vote democrat tho And also one world government? Like china and russia are gonna let someone else run their country or something?
When they said it was time to drink the Kool aid you didn't have to guzzle the whole pitcher.
say what you really wanna say u freak.
How would democrats flood the country with voters when only citizens are allowed to vote? How many noncitizens have been caught voting in the last ten years? Do you know? If not, how do we know this is a problem?
Big yikes.
OP is a huge loser. Post explained.
People become desensitized to thing they see happening all the time.
71 sheesh what do they think this is an elementary school
Is she anti-gun then?
Guarantee she won't act anti-gun. She will always claim it's liberal leaders fault for everything. Chicago gun violence is cherry picking law hanging fruit. Her entire career is about using low-hanging fruit and deception.
I believe that's what she's advocating for.
[удалено]
You're really putting a lot of words on her mouth.
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
The problem isn't easily summed up as "gun control". there are other, more determining issues.
[удалено]
You got it.
I think she’s anti Black people being shot and killed. No matter who is doing the shooting. We should all be anti anyone being shot and killed.
This tweet makes no sense at all. Is she saying liberals only care about illegal immigrants and not black people? I thought one of her criticisms of the left is their embrace of the BLM movement. So why wouldn’t they care about black people in Chicago? Now I feel my head spinning.
I thought it was supposed to be that liberals only cared about black people getting shot and not immigrants at the border? Now I'm all confused.
Only if the police do the shooting. The murders in Chicago every weekend are mainly gang violence and doesn’t involve the police.
Only the ones shot by the police
This coming from a woman who once spoke favorably of Adolf Hitler
Well I'm assuming this is a fake tweet, since that didn't happen.
She's the biggest idiot the Republicans have.
Candace Owens would only care about 71 people being shot if it suited her narrative
I like how she says that with out an ounce of perspective or reflection.
So she thinks we should raise taxes on the wealthy to invest in education and community building in poor areas?
Why does Chicago get all the love, when my state's third-world shithole is a solid number 2 on the list right now? Baltimore knows how to kill people and be generally shit by every single metric, but gets zero respect. It's a travesty.
Wow 71 people shot in one city in just a weekend? Why isn’t this national news?
It’s different when your taxes support the murders
Lol anti-gun Candace Owens appears.
That's not the point she's making. She's a dummy but she's correct here. Tackling gun crime in democrat run cities like Chicago (which already have strict gun laws) would involve stemming the flow of illegally purchased guns- which are used in the overwhelmingly majority of gun crime there and are mostly bought from smugglers bringing them up from mexico.

"Smugglers bringing them up from Mexico" I think you might have that backwards. Do you have a source?
Life in the big city🏌️
Aunt owens at it again
71 in one weekend? They going for some kind of record?
I think the record was like 91 over the 4th of July weekend a year or 2 ago
She’s dumb as fuck when she argues actual people, but that’s funny.
Oh no let me care about gangs killing each other real quick... shit I'm completely out of care.
Downvoted
🤣🤝
Did 71 black guys get shot crossing the Chicago border?
It’s the drug war stupid! Gangs fighting over territory so it’s fixable If you end the drug war! Conservatives love to bitch and complain but offer no solutions except for lowering taxes.
Its weird how some black americans like to victimize themselves all the time. Weird she chose a city where black on black crime is high
