Refusing to Face Facts

New York City cops are blaming the increase in gun violence in SPITE of the tight gun laws on the cops “finding fewer guns on the streets” than before (because of the rescinding of “stop and frisk”), hoping people will think their anti-gun laws have done some good in keeping guns off the streets. But as usual, they’re wrong. The increase is due to the law keeping guns out of the hands of honest people, who OBEY the law, and do NOTHING to keep guns out of the hands of CRIMINALS, who DON’T. Those writing the story are at pains to point out that the majority of those “stopped and frisked” were black, completely ignoring the fact that most of the CRIMINALS (the cops KNEW were criminals) were black. They always ignore that fact, so they can grouse about black people being “oppressed.” (Last Resistance)
