Guns, crime and facts

Over and over again the facts show that gun control does not reduce crime.  Of course that doesn't keep the proponents of gun control from trotting out their misleading and ridiculously inaccurate claims over and over again.


Harvard study notes no correlation between gun control and any reduction in crime

I'm sure the anti-gun zealots in government and the news media will be all over this. Yeah, just like they have been all over the fact that there has been no global warming in over 15 years. Facts, data......who needs those? If it doesn't match the liberal narrative you won't hear it in the mainstream media.


Black legislator blames cops for all those dead black people in Chicago

I guess facts wouldn't even penetrate the bubble of stupid and cultural brainwashing that produced this idiocy. Just as with the completely ridiculous claims of victimization heard at all the Trayvon Martin rallies yesterday, this statement is rooted ignorance and deeply flawed ideology. Blacks constitute roughly 13% of the population yet commit over 50% of all murders and are the victims in 47% of murders. So you have a small percentage of the population committing the majority of the murders. When you correct for the differences in total numbers within the population you find that blacks commit murder at a rate of 34 per 100,000, whereas whites (that includes Hispanics) commit murder at a rate of under five per 100,000. Blacks are seven times more likely to commit a homicide than whites (including Hispanics) Those numbers hold true for victims of homicides as well. As those numbers indicate (and in stark contradiction to the angry rhetoric of the last week) the great percentage of murders are intraracial. 94% of black victims are killed by blacks and 86% of whites are killed by whites. The self-proclaimed leaders of the black community (community organizers if you will) are quick to point the finger to white racism. That would be a lie. The numbers are pretty clear. The black community has a problem that needs to be addressed. Black youths are killing black youths at a terrible rate. But these community organizers aren't looking for solutions. No, they are just happy to constantly stir the racism pot. They keep people agitated. They tell their people that they are victims of racism. Why do they lie to their people? Well, if you make a comfortable living from race hustling, I guess you would want there to always be racial strife. If you are dependent on racial strife and an enduring culture of victimization to maintain political power you would probably want to keep that going. People like this are more than willing to keep blacks as perpetual victims for their own selfish gain. That is a crime against all black citizens of this country. They deserve better than what their leadership is giving them.
