Anyone else notice they failed to mention how good law abiding citizens use guns to stop crime? They didn't seem to study that.

To enhance the department’s capabilities, the memo says, Acevedo is requesting civilian staff with expertise in safety analysis for the upcoming fiscal year.

And I wouldn't be surprised if he already had people selected for these positions already.

 

[General Zod]

That's because gun ownership is considered to be inherently bad. So the GOOD law abiding citizens are the ones who are unarmed and helpless. The rest of us who own guns are just trouble waiting to happen.

Wait - didn't someone just say Acevedo was an "okay guy" about guns?!???

 

[kyletxria1911a1]

Yep buttttttttt buuutttt oh nevermind^^^^

How anyone can spin those numbers against gun ownership is beyond me.

A majority of all violent crimes committed were done without a gun.

 

[kyletxria1911a1]

its cause guns are black...

 

[Younggun]

They like to pretend if the guns were illegal the remaining crimes wouldn't have happened.

I mean, what kind of criminal wants to have an illegal weapons charge tacked on to a murder charge. That could get them in SERIOUS trouble.

Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, could be he had reviewed a copy of this report and had been converted?

I noticed that too. But it's the guns that are the problem?

Yep. According to their own numbers, most murders didn't involve guns.

It's funny how they note without noting it that crime tends to "cluster" in certain neighborhoods.
