USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Why only small-brain idiots believe banning gun shows will keep you safe! Where do criminals get their guns?
The Bureau of Justice Statistics is part of the Department of Justice. In 2019 they published a study on criminal use of firearms and the source of those firearms. A link to that publication is at the end of this article.
The report is the result of a 2016 survey of prisoners and was published just last year.
So what percentage of criminals got their guns at a gun show? 0.8%
“Internet sales” and sales from an unknown private individuals does not even appear on this list!
So the big issue for the gun-grabbing left, the sword they are willing to die on to keep you safe, is involved in less than 1% of all shootings or didn’t even make a list!
And there is the rub!. The purpose of these new laws is NOT to save lives or keep people safe but to destroy the firearms culture in America and punish those who disagree with them.
These new laws proposed by the Harris/Biden administration will not save one life; all they will do is further separate you from your right!
So let’s look at real solutions to gun violence,
- 80%+ of ALL shootings are gang and drug-related.
- 53% of all shootings are by black men under 30.
- 69% of guns used by criminals are purchased on the black market or acquired by family and friends.
- Most shootings happen in cities run by democrats.
- Closing gun shows will not affect gun deaths.
Democrat-run cities destroyed the black nuclear family and the local economy, forcing young black men to turn to gangs and drug dealing as a way of getting by; it is these liberal policies that are directly responsible for 80%+ of all shootings in the U.S.
Please consider this, the most dangerous 5% of counties, with the Democratically run big cities, account for 68% of all murders!
There are just over 3,000 counties in the U.S. Harris/ Biden won only 477 of them or 14.9% of all counties. Those counties won by Harris/Biden represent 85% of all murders!
- Trump/Pence won Counties =2,600 Counties = 15% of all Shooting Deaths.
- Harris/Biden won Counties = 477 Counties = 85% of all Shooting Deaths.
You are more than 5X more likely to be shot if you live in a County won by Harris/Biden!
So let’s face facts.
If gun deaths affected elections, Biden never would have won because most gun deaths happened in the Counties he won.
The new laws proposed by the gun grabbers in Congress are not intended to save lives because they focus on neither the source of illegal guns nor the root cause of gun violence.
Gun Banning is an excuse used to hide failed social policies that have destroyed our inner cities. You create a welfare state, destroy families and economies, and then blame anyone else for the violence you made.
The new laws are intended to punish people who do not toe the liberal line.
Let’s also face the facts that in a divided America, the gun grabber doesn’t give a damn about your feel, rights, or constitution.
Also, let’s face the facts Democrats control a few big cities, not states. Eliminate Chicago, and Illinois goes red. The same for most of the States with one big liberal population center.
So what can we do short of joining a right-wing death squad? (<—sarcasm)
Contact your Senator and House representative. Contact your Representative and demand honest verifiable election reforms.
Get politically active in the next set of house/senate races. Support ONLY pro-2A candidates. Nancy Pelosi is kept in power by less than ½ dozen votes. Take back the House and Senate and preserve our right! Those races are already starting!
Give your money DIRECTLY to the candidate of your choice, avoid groups like the NRA where you’re never quite sure where your dollars are going.

way to fix the problem is take the young black inner city kids to the country teach them about their rights, and that hard work can be rewarding if you can open the eyes ,the democrats will loose their appeal ,free stuff or be free
I grew up in a military/law enforcement family. One of the things drilled into my brothers and I was, words mean things. Use the proper description of what you mean. So when I see those reporting on the disinformation the anti inanimate object often used as a tool for defense and/or destruction crowd use the same terminology as those whose ridiculousness they’re attempting to illustrate, I cringe. What is “gun violence”? FTA – The new laws proposed by the gun grabbers in Congress are not intended to save lives because they focus on neither the source of illegal guns nor… Read more »
Don, excellent article. It is a shame the people who really need to understand the truth won’t believe it because it doesn’t fit their agenda. One more thing I think we should do is also consider where we spend our disposable income. We have GOT to stop supporting companies that do not support the 2A. including movies and all forms of entertainment. Our strongest weapon after voting is our pocketbook.
Good report Mr. McDougall. The problem I see today isn’t the facts, it is the tacit approval that the Socialist gun-grabbing Democratic mouth-pieces get from so-called conservative Republicans whenever their biased or outright lying krap is published. Granted the reluctance of the media to publish any pro-gun responses, but when there is published responses to gun-grabbing biased rhetoric, it always appears as the only answer is, well, articles such as this one, basically preaching to a several small groups of like-minded enthusiasts. While the socialist media takes pride in selectively reporting the shooting and killing of another gang member, complete… Read more »
They attack and we rehash. We are always back on out heels, never on the offensive. No wonder we never win. They are organized, we are not. They have big money, we do not. If ALL gun owners had voted against this nonsense, there would be no Biden even with his Xerox like voting machines. Whining won’t get it done, writing to your congresspersons won’t get it done. Sad state of affairs…
stop spamming. Now welcome here Mods? Block this clown, p;ease?
Don McDougall, Please show your math and sources related to the comment: “53% of all shootings are by black men under 30.” Even for those shootings that result in a death, a relatively small number are resolved. Looking at just Chicago for 2020: 67 Homicides committed by Blacks 9 Homicides committed by Hispanics (I believe they meant Latinos) 5 Homicides committed by Whites/Other 7 Homicides committed by Police (did not indicated whether they were all legally justified) 11 Homicides committed by non-LEOs and determined to be self-defense 693 Race unknown 792 Total Homicides (717 from GSWs) https://heyjackass.com/category/2020/ How did you… Read more »
Don you’re an idiot!! You talk about cities but neglecting states. So you draw up a narrative that fits your position. Silly to do but okay let’s go with it. So you want to blame a political party for gun violence which is the dumbest position to take instead of talking about the changes that could be made to stop systemic racism/oppression. Let’s talk about eliminating the cause. Drugs!! Let’s make ALL drugs legal. Let’s rid the country of the dark cultural world of drugs. Why don’t republicans get on board with that. Texas and numerous republicans ran states seems… Read more »
