2% of Counties Responsible for 51% of National Murder Rate





If the American people want a discussion on gun violence and murder, maybe we should focus on the areas and causations where it is prevalent.  Democrats would have us believe this is a nationwide problem, when in fact, 2% of the counties in this country are responsible for 51% of all murders.  Here is an excerpt from Zero Hedge:

The United States can really be divided up into three types of places. Places where there are no murders, places where there are a few murders, and places where murders are very common.

In 2014, the most recent year that a county level breakdown is available, 54% of counties (with 11% of the population) have no murders.  69% of counties have no more than one murder, and about 20% of the population. These counties account for only 4% of all murders in the country.

The worst 1% of counties have 19% of the population and 37% of the murders. The worst 5% of counties contain 47% of the population and account for 68% of murders. As shown in figure 2, over half of murders occurred in only 2% of counties.

We all know about Chicago, but what about California.  How does this libtard state compare to all others?  Again, Zero Hedge:

When you look at individual counties with a high number of murders, you find large areas with few murders. Take Los Angeles County, with 526 murders in 2014, the most of any county in the US. The county has virtually no murders in the northwestern part of the county. There was only one murder each in Beverly Hills, Hawthorne, and Van Nuys. Clearly, different parts of the county face very different risks of murder.

These high concentration of murders occur in liberal bastions. Is it any wonder Democrats want to turn this into a national problem when it’s their backyard causing all this woe and mayhem?

Europe Has Higher Rate of Mass Shootings Than U.S.



The president, his fellow democrats and their stooges in the media harp the false narrative that the United States is the most violent nation in the industrialized world, and it’s high time the American people rethink the value of their 2nd Amendment rights. 

“But we are the only advanced country on Earth that sees this kind of mass violence erupt with this kind of frequency. It doesn’t happen in other advanced countries. It’s not even close. And as I’ve said before, somehow we’ve become numb to it and we start thinking that this is normal.” – Barack Hussein Obama.


This assertion is an outright lie.  The Crime Prevention Research Center published a study that completely contradicts President Obama’s assault on our God given rights.  Here is an excerpt:

This claim is simply not true.  Between January 2009 and December 2015, there are 11 European countries with a higher frequency of these mass public shootings than the US, and 10 European countries with a higher rate of deaths from these attacks.

Indeed, over that same period of time, the European Union (EU) suffered 303 deaths from mass public shootings, while the US had 199.  In terms of injuries from these attacks the gap was even much greater, with EU countries facing 680 versus just 197 for the US.  However, given the EU’s larger population, the per million people fatality rate for the US and the EU as a whole are virtually identical (0.62 for the US and 0.60 for the EU).  By contrast, the injury rate in the EU is much higher (0.61 for the US and 1.34 for the EU).

I wonder how many of these crimes are related to the religion of peace.  I’m sure there is a correlation.

Special Ed Schultz Doubles Down on Stupidity




Special Ed Schultz believes armed teachers and faculty might be considered a challenge to mass murderers.  Yeah, I’m sure that’s what all killers are looking for: a challenge.  On top of that asinine statement, the mentally challenged libtard doubled down on stupidity.

Would it be a deterrent if, you know, say perpetrators know that there's guns in the schools? How do we know they wouldn't view that as a challenge? I mean, we got a goofy world out there. I'm just not convinced that packing a small firearm is the best defense or certainly not the best defense. You know, you want to make the best defense? Make the school a damn fortress. I mean, you could do that, I mean but, is that reasonable? Is that the right thing to do? Is it necessary? And so I'm just, is it nec-, haven't we had enough school shootings where this is necessary? We've never had a civilian stop a shooting.

And these are the people who want to run our lives.  God forbid.


Ghoulish FMR. Gov. Ed Rendell Dances on Newtown Victim's Graves



Democrats love a crisis.  Their ongoing quest for dominion over our lives will venture into the ghoulish.  Here is Fast Eddy Rendell dancing with suppressed glee on the graves of Newtown’s shooting victim’s.

FMR. GOV. ED RENDELL, NBC NEWS POLITICAL ANALYST: Well, there's two things: number one, the battle on guns and reasonable forms of gun control didn't start after Newtown. We've been doing it. There were mayors in the '90s, when I was mayor of Philadelphia, that were suing the gun manufacturers. So this has been an ongoing battle. It goes all the way back – it even predates Columbine, and each tragedy, we resolve to do more.




The good thing about Newtown is, it was so horrific that I think it galvanized Americans to a point where the intensity on our side is going to match the intensity on their side. Secondly, I'm not dismayed by those statements at all. Those statements convince the average American that the other side is absolute – looney, nuts, off their rocker – and that drives people to the conclusion that we've got to do something reasonable.

Dance Eddy, dance!

Five Facts About Guns and Gun Violence




Reason T.V. listed 5 facts everyone should know about guns and gun violence. Click on the link below to watch video.

1. Violent crime – including violent crime using guns – has dropped massively over the past 20 years.

The violent crime rate - which includes murder, rape, and beatings - is half of what it was in the early 1990s. And the violent crime rate involving the use of weapons has also declined at a similar pace.

2. Mass shootings have not increased in recent years.

Despite terrifying events like Sandy Hook or last summer’s theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, mass shootings are not becoming more frequent. “There is no pattern, there is no increase,” says criminologist James Allen Fox of Northeastern University, who studies the issue. Other data shows that mass killings peaked in 1929.

3. Schools are getting safer.

Across the board, schools are less dangerous than they used be.Over the past 20 years, the rate of theft per 1,000 students dropped from 101 to 18. For violent crime, the victimization rate per 1,000 students dropped from 53 to 14.

4. There Are More Guns in Circulation Than Ever Before.

Over the past 20 years, virtually every state in the country has liberalized gunownership rules and many states have expanded concealed carry laws that allow more people to carry weapons in more places. There around 300 million guns in the United States and at least one gun in about 45 percent of all households. Yet the rate of gun-related crime continues to drop.

5. “Assault Weapons Bans” Are Generally Ineffective.

While many people are calling for reinstating the federal ban on assault weapons – an arbitrary category of guns thathas no clear definition – research shows it would have no effect on crime and violence. “Should it be renewed,” concludes a definitive study, “the ban’s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement.”

Unfortunately, gun-grabbers don’t care about facts.  They want you subordinate to their whims.  Click on the link below to watch video.

Jesse Ventura Schools Interloper Piers Morgan




Jesse Ventura maybe a crackpot on 9/11 conspiracies, but he's spot on when it comes to the Second Amendment. 

It's too bad we can't ban snobbish interlopers like Piers Morgan and other British pansies that love to come to our country and lecture us on our constitutional rights.

Maoist Near and Far Cry Out for U.S. Citizen Disarmament



The shooting in Newtown, Connecticut has many Americans pondering what we should do to prevent these senseless massacres.  The Maoist in America demand we pass draconian gun confiscation laws.  They want us to abandon our God-given natural rights.  They believe the Second Amendment is an antiquated privilege that is no longer warranted in today’s America.  They believe we should submit to the beneficence of our lord and masters in Washington D.C.  Who needs a gun when you have the government to protect you?

There is other Maoist across the ocean who also wants to disarm U.S. citizens.  China’s state-owned propaganda arm published the following.  Notice how they took account of how many American households have firearms.

The past six months have seen enough shooting rampages in the United States. Just three days ago, three people were shot dead at a shopping mall in Oregon. Two weeks ago, a football player shot his girlfriend dead and then committed suicide. Five months ago, 12 people were killed and 58 wounded in a shooting spree at a midnight screening of a Batman film in Colorado.
However, these are only part of the gun violence which has drawn the whole country's attention. Every time a tragedy occurs, there are renewed appeals for gun regulation. However, the calls disappointingly always fail.

Regulation of private gun ownership has been a sensitive issue in the U.S. for a long time. Americans own 280 million guns, with 34 percent of U.S. families possessing the deadly weapon. Gun lobbies, such as the National Rifle Association (NRA), are very influential.
The Chinese were quick to praise their buddy Bill Clinton and his democratic junta.  Why wouldn’t they?  He did sell classified missile technology to the Chicoms in lieu of campaign donations.

The Clinton government launched a series of gun control policies at the end of last century. And the Democrats lost the Congressional election in 1994 and the presidential election in 2000, with the shadow of the NRA present in both defeats.
One must wonder why the Chinese are so interested in disarming the American populace.  Could it be that it would make it easier to confiscate our property as a means to satisfy our debt?  Just a thought.
