Wrong. Neither the CDC nor FBI have made any such correlation between concealed carry and reduced gun violence.

This is the official statement on concealed carry by the CDC and they call the data inconclusive.

"Shall issue" concealed weapon carry laws. Shall issue concealed weapon carry laws (shall issue laws) require the issuing of a concealed weapon carry permit to all applicants not disqualified by specified criteria. Shall issue laws are usually implemented in place of "may issue" laws, in which the issuing of a concealed weapon carry permit is discretionary (based on criteria such as the perceived need or moral character of the applicant). A third alternative, total prohibition of the carrying of concealed weapons, was in effect in six states in 2001.
The substantial number of studies of shall issue laws largely derives from and responds to one landmark study (28). Many of these studies were considered to be nonindependent because they assessed the same intervention in the same population during similar time periods. A review of the data revealed critical problems, including misclassification of laws, unreliable county-level crime data, and failure to use appropriate denominators for the available numerator crime data (29). Methodological problems, such as failure to adjust for autocorrelation in time series data, were also evident. Results across studies were inconsistent or conceptually implausible. Therefore, evidence was insufficient to determine the effect of shall issue laws on violent outcomes"

If you wish to refute this, you will need to provide direct references for that data published by the agencies you cite.

Nope.


You left out the part where he was found innocent of those accusations.



You guys are beyond ridiculous. You know Trump isn't racist. But without it Democrats don't have anything.

No one is forcing you to live anywhere.

Hollywho?

If Hollywood is against something these days it's only so they can find a link to Trump and make it about him. He's taking up 99% of their head space and it shows. It's what many live for now and it's not a good look. Most don't even know why they do it, it's habit and provides a feedback that gives them pleasure somehow. I can't recall anyone in my lifetime who so many want to personally destroy for no actual reason but because they have convinced themselves of something that isn't grounded in reality at all. Mass hysteria doesn't begin to describe it.

Is Trump to blame for the synagogue shooting?
People have it all backwards, obviously. If people would actually pay attention, this man hated Trump. Despised him. Might have thought an awful lot about burning down the White House.

Since guilt by association is a thing, clearly bitterly disliking Trump leads people to become mentally unhinged and deciding to go slaughter Jews. The entire #ResistTrump is clearly to blame for this tragedy. You even have Louis Farrakhan calling Jews termites, which undoubtedly contributed to the murderous insanity in this man's brain. The Left is to blame for it! See, I've proved it!

Below is a small sampling of information from over 400 pages of documents released regarding that investigation and some of the records recount the stories of black rental applicants who said they were told no apartments were available, while whites sent to check on the same apartments were offered leases.


From a 1974 interview with a former doorman at a Trump building in Brooklyn:
A supervisor "told me that if a black person came to 2650 Ocean Parkway and inquired about an apartment for rent, and he, that is [redacted] was not there at the time, that I should tell him that the rent was twice as much as it really was, in order that he could not afford the apartment," the ex-doorman said.


Just don't understand why you have such an affinity for lies and spreading misinformation.
Trump was sued but was not convicted. BIG difference.

Trump and the right are pro-Israel. It's the left, including Hollywood, that are anti-Semites.

Easy to tell... who supported the Embassy move to Jerusalem, israel's self-selected capital?

Who didn't? There's your bigots... haters.
