Forget for the moment that it is entirely political circus regards #4913961R.

What does Jordan think he is foisting on his rubes?

GOP is all about guns unlimited. Then blames the DA's for not having cleaned up their mess.

How could DA's possibly fix gun violence. Last I checked their role was to prosecute crimes according to the laws. Is crime prevention mandated in their job description? That would fall to folks like Jordan.

What is needed is better gun laws an then more cops, judicial resources, prisons etc.

If we consider gun crime stats in relation to gun numbers we can predict how much more of our population will need to be in prison to fix the current situation and how many more as gun numbers increase. How will we fund that? Prison tax on guns and bullets?

But sure. Let's blame the DA's

You nailed it with this "Last I checked their role was to prosecute crimes according to the laws."



AND they are not doing it. Time and again we have seen the DA's in Progressive Democrat run cities go easy on criminals and it doesn't matter if they have a rap sheet a mile long. It also doesn't matter if they have used weapons and illegally acquired guns.

We have also seen cases where Felonies have been reduced to Misdemeanors in violent cases. WHY?

We have also seen Misdemeanors such as Trump's book keeping snafu turned into a Felony. WHY?


If the Liberal DA's would do the right thing and get tough on crime instead of making excuses for the criminals and letting them back out on the street we would have a lot less violent crimes where guns are used.



It's not the Guns and the GOP knows it. The problem is the people that are so willingly pulling the triggers and the DA's that are more friendly to them than the Cops on the beat and the general public that are innocent.

Absolutely. Look at the MSU school shooting. The individual that killed three and injured 5 others, was able to purchase the handgun they used, because the DA reduced a previous firearms conviction from a felony down to a misdemeanor, which enabled him to not get flagged on the NICS check and was able to purchase that firearm.

There are many examples of DA's going light on criminals resulting in deaths. And not just DA's, but Judges as well.

Not a peep about the abuse of the DA's. However, "OMG how can someone go after our corrupt DA's".

Because left wing, Soros appointed DAs are. More interested in using their position and power as a political weapon and a tool for "social justice" than doing their jobs.

Selective outrage leads to selective prosecution.

Simple. They're asking that DAs do their damn jobs instead of using their office to propagate the progressive/liberal agenda. In other words, prosecute criminals.
You're welcome.

The DA's have also been blamed for soft\non prosecution by a number of democratic mayors, aldermen and so forth.

For example, reduce attempted murder of shooting a man in the head to "aggrevated assault" and he's out in 10 months....to then go on a mass shooting spree. (Memphis 2022)

So, maybe pay closer attention to the actual issue and what has been going on, there are a number of democratic leaders upset with some of these DA's.

Sorry, this is nonsense. Guns don't create crime, they are inanimate objects. Criminals create crime. If you have a problem with violence, you have a problem with the violent. If you have a crime problem you have a problem with criminals. These "people" need to be identified, and eliminated from society. I've never seen any indication that rehabilitation can work on a systemic basis, so these people just need to be gotten off the streets for as long as possible.

To do the former, we need, among other things, aggressive, effective DAs who will prosecute as many criminals as possible, and lock them up for as long as possible. We used to have this in the era from the mid-90s to the mid-10s, and it worked spectacularly well, crime rates, especially murder rates same way down. But now we have a new generation of DA, specifically those backed by George Soros, who are plainly pro-criminal. They refuse to prosecute many crimes, and those they do, they do weakly. This is leaving a lot of criminals on the street to commit more crime.

If the GOP wants to go after them, and even better after they master Soros, best of luck to them.
