Is gun violence getting worse . . . or was I unlucky

[wade2big]

This country is descending into a shithole. There is no such thing as a "good part of town" as long as we let the garbage of the earth across our borders without so much as a wave. Combining them with the welfare garbage, druggies and scum we already have is the current leftists plan to destroy America.

You are just as likely to get charged with murder for shooting a home invader as they are with murdering you during the invasion. My current state pays human garbage nearly $100K a year in wages and benefits to run wild and remain unemployed. It is damned near impossible to put one in prison, our fucking governor celebrates their crimes and destruction like a Super Bowl victory. Unless he finds out they go to church, then they are fucking toast.

I am heading towards retirement and am apparently far less dangerous looking than I used to be. I can see it in the eyes of the scumbags when they are prowling the Home Depot looking for a chance to run out the fucking door with a cart of tools or whatever they are fucking stealing. There is no chance I'd step in to stop them and no way I'd even look at a public wife beating with anything more than indifference. If you interfered in the beating and stopped it that crazy cunt would attack you.

So when I hear shots, I look for cover and wait it out. If they are not coming for me or my wife, my gun stays holstered and my head is on a swivel. As long as it does not involve me then it is not my problem. Even Idaho and Montana are becoming questionable these days. Legalized drugs have led to rampant crime. My truck got broken into and my backpack and gun stolen 25 feet from the front of a business I was in and the employees just fucking watched. They didn't get me or call the cops or even yell at the asshole and when I asked why, they said, "we don't get involved". I cancelled my order and ended my business with them forever. I still lost $3,000 worth of gear, gun, cash, checkbook, wind meter, Surefire light and a bracelet made from my Dad's WWII jump wings that I carried since Iraq. Fucking cops never even showed up, my cell number was the case number because they no longer give case numbers to crimes. 0% chance of seeing anything again, it will be sold on Facebook, Ebay, Amazon or Craigslist with ZERO consequences for the thieves.

Every asshole who votes for any Democrat is to blame. Welcome to the end of America as you knew it.

It’s not just the dems my man. This is the one thing you always fail to acknowledge. I would argue that anyone who votes for either party is to blame considering we have fake as fuck elections and it really doesn’t matter whether a D or R gets in as both are equally despicable and hand selected.

I do agree that those who support the D wing of the unibird are scum compared to those regular folk who are stupid enough to suport the R wing of the unibird.

Its certainly not 1980s New York. Likely kids on christmas break - plinking in the open area and not thinking too much about safety. Since the police didn't seem to find a pile of bodies; I'm guessing it wasn't actually gun violence.

No disagreement there. My congresswoman runs the same bullshit ads year after year that say, "I believe we need to do more for our veterans". She has never done one fucking thing for vets. When I queried her office about my VA claim, they could have cared less. Six years later when it was resolved thru no fault of hers, she sent me a letter saying, "she was glad she could help". Now she runs ads saying, "we need to do more for law enforcement".

Every commie in my area runs for office claiming they will get "Equity" for criminals, whatever the fuck that means. No lefty ever claims to care two shits about the victims of crime. Republicans won most of the prosecutor and judge positions and still cannot get enough criminals in prisons to matter. Cops are fleeing the job in large numbers because it is pointless.

I'd like to see one candidate that gives a shit and acts on it.

I hate the term “gun violence”. Is it now whenever someone discharges a firearm it’s now “gun violence”?

Don’t be down. There are all sorts of opportunities for fun and profit as a society collapses. You just have to eliminate your hangups, keep the sun out of your eyes, smile, and be yourself!

 

[gunsnjeeps]

If they cared about “public safety”, these police departments would announce to the public that they are to protect and defend themselves, the people around them, and their property like what is nautural and right and that the officers will not intervene. Criminals must fear us but policy and the police make sure that is unlikely.

Using the “law” against men who would otherwise defend themselves and their communities is tyranny. We don’t have public safety in this country. We have tyranny. Do not believe the lying media and lying gov’t personnel that tell you otherwise. Back the blue is a propaganda slogan to keep you chained to protect an authoritarian gov’t and the men that serve it to your detriment.

I can't speak for your neck of the woods but I can directly correlate the decrease in manning and increase in gang violence in Virginia. The same Democrats use the media to drive gun control citing the increase in crime as reason for gun control instead of criminal control.

I’m not, by far! My bi-weekly “gun violence” trips to the range, training facility or otherwise shooting location will not change.

I’m just more increasingly, unable to stomach the “gun violence” leftist BS by day. How is it different than “knife violence, rape violence, screw driver violence, etc”. Shit is worse than the woke bullshit

 

[davsco]

Gun violence is a malicious misnomer with the sole intention of attributing a negative connotation with guns and the same people who market it created a system that files every incident involving a firearm under its umbrella.

They should strike the term "Gun violence" from official use like they do with other words like "retarded".

yes i 100% agree, you said it perfectly. violence is violence whether by gun, fist, bat, vehicle, knife etc. just another 2A attack.

yes we need to focus on criminal control. if we would actually put, and keep, the violent offenders in jail i guarantee crime will be reduced.

the more and longer we focus on guns, the more and longer criminals will keep repeating their violence. who in the hell REALLY thinks that if guns are miraculously removed, crime will go away?

'gun violence'

The brainwashing appears to be working

Not accusing you of being anti gun, just accusing you of being a victim of the propaganda

I don't use the term "assault rifle" either, its fucking stupid and anyone that uses the term (other than to crap on it like I am now) has been impacted by the media brainwashing

These words have impact to those that are not 100% pro gun, and it was all planned

Riiiiggggghhhht. I've been a member of this forum contributing for 11 years, slowly biding my time waiting for the perfect time to use the term gun violence to show my true communist colors. If you are that triggered by a couple of words maybe you're a little more blue than you realize.

Anyway since someone else thinks I'm an anti gunner, here is pic two for the rest of you.View attachment 8026652

He's for real...he's got an HK USP!!! Wait..is that a P2000 as well. Yeah...he's no fake

BTW...your ealier picture...the tape colors...different calibers I take?

 

[thebeav]

A friend of mine is a retired US marshal. He's always told me that there's a saying among law enforcement, "This won't end until somebody goes to jail".
We have so called 'bail reform' here in NY. It's incredible, but nobody goes to jail. You get an appearance ticket. "Now, you come back here on the 28th, OK ?"
We're so screwed......

I’m sure you can correlate it and I explained how that works in my post. I’ll summarize. Men fail to protect their own communities not out of fear of the street thug, but out of fear of big gov. Less cops with more Vigilantism is what is needed to dwindle the numbers of criminals among us instead of uncle sam putting them through the revolving door of justice being used to terrorize communities to usher in a stronger police state. Don’t think for a second that when people scream for more gov’t (police), they won’t eventually get it in a bad way. Just in time to for e digital currency on their ass.

I always ask people what decisions they trust gov’t to make on their behalf. Most usually say gov’t is either to incompetent, inefficient, and I get the rare gem that says it’s to corrupted. Somehow these same people believe gov’t can “protect” them and their communities better than they could themselves. That’s illogical on it’s face. You know right from wrong. I know right from wrong.

Here at my work - we will get a couple of rifle rounds in a row that go zinging overhead every week or so. I'm not really sure why somebody would do that, but there is no telling how well "received" those rounds are at the other end of their travels. I never thought of it as "gun violence". I thought of it as "idiocy" though. Just glad we aren't in the "touchdown" area.

The police are not held to a standard to protect the citizenry only to write reports after the fact. They are a visible deterent in some neighborhoods, those neighborhoods are now less welcoming than they were and controlled by gangs protected by liberals. Government is best compared to a soiled diaper whether you voted for the winner or not.

Not a P2000, it a HK45c but the grip is damn near identical to a P2000.

Yeah the tape colors are to differentiate calibers when I let other people shoot my guns, I don't want to see someone load a .300 Blk into a 5.56 or 6.8.

haha...I almost thought it was a 45c. I always found it interesting the P30 and HK45 were released almost simultaneously and yet the grips are completely different. Which, I guess, since HK primarily builds for LE and MIL contracts, explains the grip difference.

 

[Darkride]

OFFS, nobody with a IQ higher than that of a deep fried Twinkie is going to blame the gun, it's just a common term, in common use in the popular American lexicon. But if you want me to change the title to Asshat with a gun committing violence, I'll think about it . . . . and then keep it the

[akmike47]

If the incoming projectiles are close at all, you will hear them buzz as they go by. If there is no buzz, you weren't exactly close.

Can't tell you how many times I've been shooting and some old fart show up claiming we are "shooting over his head."

Where do you live?

"Mile that way"(points directly in the opposite direction we are shooting)

Yeah, sure...

Until there are severe consequences for actions things are never going to change. We need public hangings or firing squad for murder, molesters and anyone who rapes make a steer boy out of them and anyone who steels have an appendage cut off fingers to whole arm depending on what was stolen. Consequences for actions until there is nothing will change.

 

[lonegunman762x51]

There will be public hangings and firing squads in the near future. The problem is that it will be Soros funded leftist thugs killing people who post memes, hanging the elderly for refusing to fund their grandkids sex change and executing religious leaders for failure to worship Marxism.

Every socialist and communist country has public executions, gulags, mass extermination camps and thought police.

They believe in capital punishment, just not for criminals, pedophiles, drug dealers or government thugs.
