Notes from the Resistance
It’s true that if you lump all immigrants together, relatively few of them are accused and convicted of crimes committed here in the United States. Legal immigrants commit crimes at very low rates, so combining their crime data with that of illegal immigrants masks the latter’s higher criminal activity. [More]
Lies, damned lies, and statistics…
This is how it works: Step one, acquire statistics on firearm-related deaths among children ages 0 to 14. Step two, combine that relatively low number with the far greater number of firearm-related deaths involving juveniles and young adults ages 15 to 17, 15 to 19, or even ages 15 to 24. Step three, present the resulting data as the shocking number of “children” (ages 0 to 17, 0 to 19 or 0 to 24) who are subjected to “gun violence” each day/week/month/year. Step four, use the disingenuous statistic to advocate for pre-determined gun control policies by claiming “gun violence is the leading cause of death of children.” [More]

David Codrea’s article “‘Study’ on School Shooters Really an Innuendo-Based Hit Piece on Gun Owners” highlights one of the results of gun control advocates’ mass deception. He presents with an “analysis” by Dr. Anne Nassauer, a professor of sociology at the University of Erfurt in Germany. Considering her virtually complete ignorance of the history of the American ‘gun culture’, past and present, the errors in her analysis aren’t surprising. [More]
Nice to know somebody reads more than the title…

56% of Americans supported stricter gun control in 2023 as opposed to 78% in 1990. 12% of Americans supported relaxed gun control in 2023 compared to only 2% in 1990. [More]
Numbers have gradually moved in the right direction, but they’re still not enough to win most elections, highlighting the subversive influence of the narrative-parroting cheerleader DSM.
This year, grants will be prioritized for organizations that focus on youth diversion and mentoring, and violence interruption, among other related areas, according to a news release. [More]

The Media Say Crime Is Going Down. Don’t Believe It. The decline in reported crimes is a function of less reporting, not less crime. [More]
Interesting, though, that it’s happening at a time of extended record gun sales…

I don’t know if there’s enough to establish a direct correlation/causation link, but it sure is curious how shootings go up with more political and media demands for and enactment of gun laws…
I’d like to see a study showing a timeline for that. Perhaps this could be a useful application for these AI programs we’re told can sort through stuff and reach conclusions it would otherwise take people years to do…

There’d be a lot fewer if Democrat blood dancers didn’t encourage ignorance by eliminating training, and incentivizing people who don’t know anything about guns to handle them.
