I think it's really interesting that everything they are rolling out targets hobbyists and enthusiasts in flyover country. Nothing targets actually sources of gun violence. It's like they're trying to force a situation where people fight back or refuse to comply.

As always, everything Biden says is either outright false or at least begs several obvious questions and the media is completely silent when they aren't applauding wildly.

Attacks on law abiding gun owners that have nothing to do with crime:
* gun shows
* build kits, 80 percent receivers, etc
* braced pistols
* semiauto anything

Actual things that would reduce gun crime and will never be done because prosecuting garden variety criminals is boring peasant work that yale educated politicians don't do, it's what shitty peasant lawyers from non-elite schools do:
* going after gangs in big cities with federal charges for guns and drugs- was called Project Exile- all the usual people hated it because it "disproportionately affected black people" well duh, most of the people doing the gang **** happen to be black
* arresting some of the 100k people who fail NICS every year trying to buy with felony records
* prosecuting straw purchasers when gang members get caught with guns- you know, the girlfriend of the defendant that is on the 4473

The Reagan assassination attempt was with a shitty revolver chambered in 22LR.

And the Brady Bill was about background checks. It covered all firearms.

Inequality and Violent Crime

https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/338347?seq=1

Crime rates and inequality are positively correlated within countries and, particularly, between countries, and this correlation reflects causation from inequality to crime rates, even after controlling for other crime determinants.
"Unintended Pregnancy and Taxpayer Spending". Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health.

https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/def...ll/4308811.pdf

Children whose parents did not want children are more likely to commit crimes. Such children are less likely to succeed in school, and are more likely to live in poverty. They tend to have lower mother-child relationship quality.

Part of science is asking why

Youre taking a fact, black people in america are accused of committing crimes at a higher rate than other races, and implying that it is specifically because they are black.

This is driven by stereotypes. Similar to how some people think that black men are better lovers than white men, which is why Tucker Carlson always cries while watching his neighbor **** his wife.
Just kidding. Tucker Carlson would never live near a black person.

Is it even possible for black people to buy guns? I thought that required an ID.

Crimes committed by blacks is proof of systematic racism against them. Racism against whites is proof of past crimes of racism. /liberal logic

Nobody is taking Fauci seriously anymore outside of the establishment propaganda organs.

And even they are using him because they have nothing better to go with.
