Only a simple mind denies that all this chaos is the fault of Democrats not looking after their communities and constituents.
My friends in the north east don't feel that their local and state govt. are tough enough on crime and voted Republican because they want them to be tougher on crime.

BUT if America gets ready with their own protection methods and realize how sick the Democrat agenda is, you can protect yourselves.

Be ready.

They will get rid of the police or put so many restrictions on them that they will be unable to properly enforce criminals and lawbreakers.

Get ready to protect your life and everything in it!
if Biden wins I will do what I never thought I would and that is get a gun!!!

Thanks for stressing that point for us.

Meanwhile in London, 2019 was the city's bloodiest year in a decade with 143 being killed.

Again, most of the murders in this country involve Black on Black murders. And more specifically, this is an issue in the underclass. This is a problem in the impoverished ghettos all over America. Whether it's Democratic-ran cities like Cincinnati and St. Louis or Republican-ran cities such as Jacksonville or Tulsa. Wherever the ghetto is, that is where the violence is. Wherever a large underclass and alot of gangs, high homicide rate. Political party has little to do with it.

Exactly! I am taking gun training classes and getting a weapon for protection. I hope everyone gets a form of protection because you will need it!

Yeah there are millions of Impoverished Whites, Asians and Hispanics and overall they don't have this violence problem.

Poverty does not give you the right or reason to be violent.

Something else is missing.

Should have done that long ago. Most places are out of stock, ammo is out of stock and background checks are taking forever, depending on where you are.

Cities that Dems have controlled since the 60s, some even longer.......you can just see how poorly they do when they get to implement their game-plan.

I would suggest the idiots who get a lawfully gun stolen from their unlocked car should never own a gun again because it is clear they are not a RESPONSIBLE gun owner ...........I know radical.



So now it is the victim’s fault? This is what we have heard from the left for 4 decades. Blame the victim. I would suggest holding those accountable who are stealing in the first place. Crazy idea I know. People will already lose their license if they don’t store guns correctly.

With no guns there should be zero deaths , right ? Seems like there is quite the rise in violence over there...what is going on ? 222,000 violent assaults last year ...one would think with that strict gun control there would be nothing.

"There were over 222 thousand violent crime offences recorded by the Metropolitan Police in London in 2019/20 an increase of approximately six thousand compared with the previous year. "

Seems to me , the culprit is bad people. Not the instruments they use. People willing to hurt/kill others and break laws.
