Have you ever seen someone cherrypick the information that they want you to know? Sure you have. Every time that you watch the legacy mainstream news media, you see information that has been cherrypicked, taken out of context, and given as if it’s the whole story, and they do this to mislead people into believing what they want you to believe.
And one of the areas that the legacy mainstream news media does this most in is the issue of legal gun ownership and crime.
They want you to believe that guns cause crimes and that legal gun owners having guns somehow, magically, causes more gun crimes.
Is that true? They certainly want you to believe that.
The truth is far different, though, as illustrated from a recent story out of Canada. Chandra Philip writes,
While the rate of homicides involving a firearm has increased in Canada, those crimes are not usually committed by people who have a licence for the weapon, according to a Statistics Canada report.
“The firearms used in homicides were rarely legal firearms used by their legal owners who were in good standing,” said the report, titled Firearms and Violent Crime in Canada 2022.
Philip continues:
“In most firearm-related homicides, the accused did not have a valid firearm licence for the class of firearm used” the report said.
“Among the homicides for which the information was available, the accused had a licence in 13 percent (16 of 119 homicides) of homicides involving a handgun and in 12 percent (7 of 59) of homicides involving a rifle or shotgun.”
In the cases where an illegally obtained weapon was used, most had never been “legally owned” in Canada, StatCan said.
Now, while these specific statistics are from Canada, they mirror the way that gun crime works everywhere. Overwhelmingly, criminals in the U.S. don’t go through legal methods to get firearms, especially firearms used for crimes, either.
And that just proves once again that gun control doesn’t have a snowball’s chance of reducing or stopping violent crime because criminals, by definition, don’t obey the laws. Only law-abiding people (the kind of people who use firearms to protect themselves and other people) obey the law.
This is such a simple concept to understand, but it seems pretty clear that those who favor gun control do that because they don’t want to understand the incontrovertible truth that the only people that gun control keeps safe are criminals.
Biden and his Commies can go suck an egg!!! That P.O.S. can kiss a donkeys ass, him and All these Communist thinking Rich Bags who “Who want to Rule the World” can fall off the Planet!
totally Agree 💯.
they are not commies…they are feudalists….aka facists…look at the ukraine and who they fought for in WWII
totally Agree 💯
These stats pretty much prove that passing more gun control laws do nothing to control crimes committed with guns . Criminals don’t care what the law says .
Criminals LOVE gun control laws. The more there are, the more defenseless people they have to prey on!
Amen to that one!! The ones commenting these crimes are the ones they should be looking at not the guns. Guns aren’t going to do anything without some dumb a.. pulling the trigger. Why don’t the stupid government take a look at that side? They don’t want to face the truth. So yes they can fall off the earth or go someplace else!
All a CIA agenda for gun control … Read BEHOLD A PALE HORSE BY WILLIAM COOPER . It’s called project ORIAN ….mentally ill people are INCULCULATED into shooting up school yards and public places thru the use of hypnosis and psychotropic drugs….they murdered the author soon after he predicted 911 and that osama bin laden would be blamed…chapter 12 THE SECRET GOV’T ..page 225….to get sheople to disarm themselves…
Agreed your right on , but many people don’t research out the truth, so they get led astray, Its a good book and true also.
ALL gun perceived “Laws” which are not laws, but simply a way to deceive people to giving up there rights
there really antichrist dictates to disarm, Jesus said to arm up to defend your self and family and even your neighbor.Read the what Jesus said in “Luke 22:36” The sword was the best close combat weapon at that time today its a hand gun.
Criminals LOVE gun control laws. The more there are, the more defenseless people they have to prey on!
If you listen to the media every legal gun owner goes around killing people …
When 90% of the time it’s someone that should not have a gun in the first place and that does not mean nonviolent felons …
These a******* will be long gone and we’ll still have our second amendment.
