Gillibrand Joins Push To Fund Gun Violence Prevention And Support Programs Amidst Covid-19 Crisis.

Stay-at-home orders have led to an increase in truancy among youth due to school closures, unemployment, and housing and food insecurity. These effects have exacerbated community gun violence and caused greater need for violence intervention programs to help decrease rates of firearm-related violence and homicides.

She almost comes out and admits that some communities are responsible for almost all of the gun violence. I can tell you my kids haven't been running around like idiots just because school is out.

Correct. Is any gun group from NRA on down going to call her on this? No.

 

[Jmac00]

excellent logic

More Gun sales = More gun violence

as far as I can tell, nothing has changed. Inner-city people are shooting each other at record levels, despite the UN-safe act. But most of the deaths are CoVid-19 gun deaths??? so whats the big deal. Joe-shmoe, who never owned a firearm before, went out and bought a shotgun and put it in his closet. he's not even going to go practice with it.

Just another demoncRATic scare tactic.

Gillibrand Math:

WTF is "community gun violence"? Sounds like a demographic problem, not a gun problem. She should work on that first.

"Community gun" would be the one behind the dumpster / taped under the mailbox / underneath the equipment lockbox at the baseball field that everyone in the hood knows about and no one has personal responsibility for.

Yes, it is a thing and yes, it is to an extent a demographic issue.

I highly doubt that's specifically what she's referring to.

Karen should go preach her bullshit down Broadway in the Burg, or North Hamilton in Poughkeepsie without a police entourage and see how far she gets.
