The 2nd Amendment Thread

[Chief X_Phackter]

The top 10 cities with the most overall violent crime, which includes major urban areas New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, are all run by Democrats.

The Republican-run city with the highest number of cases of violent crime is Jacksonville in Florida, which is 17th on the FBI list.

Of the top 10 cities with most violent crime cases per 10,000 people, only Springfield, Missouri is not run by a Democrat mayor (he's Independent). The rest have Democratic administrations.

(FBI Uniform Crime Report January to June 2019)

So what's the solution? I don't know, but we could start by looking at the policies of the most violent cities, enforcement of their laws (or lack thereof), sentencing trends, rehabilitation...

It's a country wide problem for sure because it affects all of us, but I'm not sure it's a mere coincidence that the most violent cities are run by Democratic mayors, sheriffs, prosecutors, and city council leaders.

lol they so mad

When you see the counties around the cites have higher gun ownership rates that average 0 homicides per years it becomes a problem talking point. Like here in Richmond VA.

As well as rural areas which are poorer and avg 0 homicides per year.

Liberals throw their hands up like they can’t figure it out

The part that made me smirk about the Uvalde shooting (which I realize there is really nothing to smirk about); is that it happened down in Big Red Texas where everyone carries their guns to protect themselves yet the same fate occurred that happened in Blue Sandy Hook.

The whole argument of self defense falls on deaf ears to me, you can't defend against a sucker punch.

Bullshit

Bro you can follow the reforms since 2016 and see crime rates are worse period.

Also since whatever clowns refer to as the racial reckoning , only blacks have suffered the backlash with higher homicides and violence rates. Other racial groups see no movement

People think San Fran, LA, Portland and Seattle have always been this way?

Lololololol…complete incompetence

Boys need fathers. Absentee fathers are the number 1 cause of crime. That's the starting point for improving crime rates in just about any city, regardless of the which side of the political spectrum is running it.

Followed by poverty and mental health (these are the 2 that should be the hardest to fix imo).

And also releasing violent criminals well before they ever serve near a remotely acceptable jail time.

I would say a very good reason for some crime but many good kids are raised by single Moms and Grandparents. Poverty IMO is the number one reason for crime.

Huh?

Not sure what point you’re trying to make but population density can correlate to crime rates. Of course east bumfuck with Mayor Bubba has lower crime than NYC. It’s apples to oranges.

I set up the WATCH D.O.G.S. program at my kids' school when we moved here. I'm not sure if anyone on here is familiar with it. Anyway, these are some of the statistics I used at my kickoff event to help entice Dads to get more involved with their kids, particularly their education. It's 8 years old, but I'm sure it still applies.

• Physical fatherlessness effects 25 million children nationwide, and millions more are effected by emotional fatherlessness. It’s tougher to track but many believe it’s actually more damaging than not having a father at all.

• Fatherlessness has a dramatic effect on every social and economic category. The National Census Bureau says that children living in fatherless homes are 5 times more likely to be at or under the poverty line.

• Crime- The Journal of Criminal Justice in 2009 found that particularly boys in father absent homes are at a dramatically higher risk for having personal and property delinquencies, substance abuse, and drinking/smoking.

• Teen pregnancy- Research in child development has shown that consequently, teens without an involved father are twice as likely to be involved in early sexual activity. Teen is defined as younger than 18 years of age. Young women are 7 times more likely to get pregnant in adolescence if they do not have a positive male role model actively engaged in their lives.

• Education- The Department of Health and Human Services said that students living in father absent homes are twice as likely to repeat a grade, but father involvement is more likely associated with those students making, “mostly A’s.”

• US Department of Health and Human Services states fatherless children are twice as likely to drop out of school. The most recent statistics show that 7000 students drop out of school every day, and only about 70% of students graduate high school. They also state that in the 50 largest cities in the US, HS graduation rates are only 58%.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Men need to step the fuck up. We have millions of children in adult bodies running around. Pretty fucking embarrassing as a country.

Chicago had 5 mass shootings between Aug 14 to Aug 20….dang population density again!

Soft on crime policies, no cash bond to violent criminals, progressives da, defund the police movement, refusing to enforce gun control law such as locking up people who possess illegal guns, etc…it’s a joke
