Republicans policies have saturated the U.S. with guns, I guess they didn’t think criminals as well as law bidding citizens could obtain guns, just narrow-minded.
@SOMETHING BIG IS COMING! 🙄
@warpedjaffas1 Generally as long as I can understand the words, and the basic perception of someone’s opinion, that’s enough. You must be an English teacher.
@Jesse James close enough is good enough? You’ll go nowhere in life with that attitude.
@AJ Tate We actually punish criminals in our areas while democrats play hug a thug and release them time and time again. Also we allow out people to defend themselves.
@warpedjaffas1 No one comes on YT or any social media to give two shites about grammar.
The Constitution states nothing of “owning” a gun.
@John Smith If that was the case then firearms laws would not have been strengthened in the last few years in numerous states.
@Ayn Rand I can only assume that you have forgotten about lobbyist and corrupted republicans. Those big dollar donations go far. If you are so intimidated, go up to the first floor and your mother should give you some hugs kisses. When you are feeling insecure and having a melt down. Which I imagine happen more than once a day.
@John Smith Completely wrong, judges are upholding the constitution and allowing people to exercise their right to bear arms. And those are happening in Democrat states as well. I hope a criminal breaks into your house and takes care of you
@Ayn Rand – “Wrong” about what? I have only stated what the Constitution says. Period. I have not given an opinion whatsoever.
@Florida Man – What does that have to do with MSNBC, the Democrats, or even logic? It’s a simple statement of fact, you SHEEP. That’s right, YOU are a sheep. Those who want to call everyone sheep are those who parrot the Republican party lines with astonishing specificity and unity. You don’t think. You mindlessly parrot, and since you do it so mindlessly, it becomes very clear that you have no idea what you’re even parroting.
Contrast this to how a republican administration would address it: By simply denying that it was happening.
@MrLobo1776 – So?
@truth hurts Yes!
@J GroovyAnother example of Democrat ran cites that are cesspools and crime laden.
@warpedjaffas1 How are they doing anything when violent repeat offenders are let go by democrat judges and DA’s ?
@J Groovy Better run? Lol that’s a great one.
Sounds like a good idea to me, hyper Gun collection is out of hand in this country and that’s covetous behavior anyway. Gun collection reminds me of the cartoons of the Evil 😈 and covetous Guy that drools at the sight of the thing he covets.
If people want to own various firearms so what? If anything the events of last year showed every body that you cannot rely on gov to protect you. Especially in Democrat cities that told their officers to stand down and let the looters and rioters do whatever.
I know, I do, but I just gotta say… Tastistics
I was born and raised in a high crime area of Philadelphia .I have fond memories of wonderful days playing basketball and visiting with my friends. One day these two guys were up to no good and started to be obnoxious in the area where we were living.
It gets worse . I had violent encounter with them. It made my mom so nervous that she sent me to live with her sister in Belair. I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the Uber driver yo smell you later. And that’s how I ended homeless in California
There was a crime wave going on for the past 4 year period of the Trump administration,and the crimes eminented from The White House
Crime was worse during Obongo. Colored people felt empowered.
Trump won
you are a fool,Democrat leading Citys the Real crime Ares,even we in Germany now that you little fool.Democrats good for nothing.
Wrong
Liars always point blame but then don’t list the reasons…what crimes?? Liar
Uncle Joe’s got the right approach. He wants to Refund The Police and get them more help in their local Depts. so they can do the job they were trained for and let the social services people handle diffusion and prevention.
These people who have guns, that shouldn’t have guns, will have us all paying in the end. Whether it’s your buddy or someone in a back alley. It’s not worth the money, man.
🎯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💖💖💖🙏
But the good cops need to stop protecting the bad cops. When they refuse to do that it makes them into bad cops.
The problem are the guns, we have a criminals problem.
Yeah the democrats
@truth hurts what about trump who incited a terrorist riot act just so he can hold on to power, do you have anything to say about that.
@mike moffin Trump indicted a Terror attack really lol.When so why he isnt in Prison?Your false Statement are disgusting he indicted nothing or he would long time ago in prison,there is no evidence of that.The real crime all for Decades Running Democrat Citys everyone,even we in Germany now that!Chigago,NCY,San Francisco,LA and so on and on.I saw it all by myself i was 3 times in the US and the best State by far i was is Texas.Guess what its Running Decades by Republicans and now all running to texas out of the Democrats Shiteholes where they belong!
Maybe they shouldn’t be cops or detectives
Did anyone see the town hall meeting? Jeezus.
No one did. Even Biden folk pay more attention to Trump.
Joe is painful to listen to. He doesn’t have much time left. Kamala is pretending like this wasn’t the plan. Joe won’t last 1 full year before kamala pushes that knife into his back
And the question is whether or not we should be in a position where you are — why can’t the experts say we know that this virus is, in fact — is going to be — or, excuse me — we know why all the drugs approved are not temporarily approved, but permanently approved. That’s underway, too. I expect that to occur quickly.
Crime Rates are not as high as in the 70’s and 90’s … but that’s a stupid way to see this problem …do we have to wait till it gets that high before people realize this is an actual problem going on right now …
Exactly its the weakest way to divert focus from what a terrible job the current administration is doing.
Arrest the innocent and release the criminals. I see another Waco raid coming. Good job leftists.
They turn a blind eye to it..blame Donald trump…white supremacy..and racism…orrrrr….they just tell the media to not report on it..so that they can say it never really happened
why do democrats want to outlaw gun including pistols going against what the majority of American want?
These are the evil fruits of last year’s riots.
