Guns don't kill, Democrats do

in #gun10 years ago

The US has one of the highest gun violence rates in the Western world, and the left claims this is due to the fact that guns are so common and easily available in America. However, this statistic hides important information about who is actually performing the crimes.

On the surface, crime is about race and ethnicity. If there were only whites and asians living in the US, the country would not be more criminal than other Western countries. Those who bring the crime rate up to epic proportions are blacks and hispanics.

But masked behind the ethnic numbers are the fact that the most criminal ethnic group (blacks) also are the most politically left-leaning group (90% democrat) and the second most criminal ethnic group (hispanics) are almost equally left-wing (80%). Thus, it is not blacks or hispanics that are criminals, it is specifically left-wing blacks, hispanics, whites and asians that commit crimes.

Sadly, very little statistics based on political affiliation has been made to conclusively prove that this is a general trend on an individual level, but now a new study supports the idea that conservatives and libertarians are the least criminal.

For the US population as a whole the crime rate was 3813 per 100,000 people. For concealed carry permit owners the rate was only 2.4 per 100,000, a whopping 1589 TIMES (158,900%!) lower than the general population.

Now, who have conceiled carry permits? Certainly not left-wing radicals who vigorously oppose gun ownership. Those who have conceiled carry permits are most likely the most conservative and libertarian portion of the population, the most ardent supporters of the second amendment. Crime in this group of people is basically non-existent.

In short, guns don't kill, Democrats do.

Sort:  

I think it has more to do with poverty than race. You can argue that institutional racism, prejudice, and restricted access to a quality education are some of the biggest factors that help violent crime to flourish.

That's a false Marxist assumption. Poverty does not create crime. Crime creates poverty. There is no institutional racism in America. No blacks on the surface of planet earth throughout human history have had more opportunities and less racism than blacks in America.
