Biden's America: Majority of voters believe gun violence will increase under Joe Biden

[SugarDaddy1]

The majority of voters believe gun violence will increase during President Joe Biden’s tenure, a Politico/Morning Consult poll found Thursday.

When respondents were asked whether they believed “there will be more, fewer, or the same amount of incidence [sic] of gun violence” in the “next few years,” 54 percent said there would be more gun violence during that time, which would be during Biden’s presidency.

The poll also asked voters if they supported the arming of teachers and staff to respond to a school shooting. Fifty-four percent either strongly or somewhat support arming teachers and staff to respond to a school shooting. Just 35 percent either somewhat or strongly oppose the measure.

Democrats have largely opposed arming teachers and school staff to protect children from school shooters. Instead, many Democrat politicians are proposing to infringe upon the Second Amendment. A Wednesday poll found more voters trust Republicans on gun policy over Democrats by three points.

Guns are disgusting. People who love guns are disgusting.

 

[oggbashan]

But so far in his Presidency, the numbers have actually decreased.

 

[AlexBailey]

My aren't you a click-baiting weasel.



"When respondents were asked whether they believed “there will be more, fewer, or the same amount of incidence [sic] of gun violence” in the “next few years,” 54 percent said there would be more gun violence during that time, which would be during Biden’s presidency."

No causation, just an observation. Are you advocating for more gun control? Do you want the Biden administration to do something about it?

 

[pecksniff]

Not every bad thing that happens on Biden's watch is a thing you can label "Biden's America."

And even you should know better than to post anything from Breitbart.

 

[LukSkyFokker]

How serious is that poll?

It has a fucking typo - that's how serious.

The majority of voters believe gun violence will increase during President Joe Biden’s tenure,

I believe it will, too. Every time a Democratic president gets elected, the crazy right goes even crazier with paranoia that "they're coming for our guns" and with anger that Those People are going to "replace" them.

In other words, if gun violence increases under Biden, that is likely the fault of his detractors. Which is no excuse for Biden to not even try to improve gun control, but nevertheless.

All the Police precincts in London UK report a drop in gun crime - but why?

They haven't done anything differently.

There are theories:

1. Brexit has made it more difficult to bring guns into the UK, and

2. The Ukraine war has increased the price of weapons to levels the criminals can't afford.

But the Police don't really know why.

Guns are disgusting. People who love guns are disgusting.

The word is deplorable, and I am a happy deplorable.

No. Most gun crime in London was drug related. The gangs still fight each other, but apparently without guns...

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

Or, there's been a bit of unification; a unity of purpose and profit.

Who knows? As you pointed out.

Most gun crime in the US is gang related.......period. And with the current administrations border policy it's going to get worse................a lot worse.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

And by gang, we pretty much mean the results of the War on Drugs.

New soldiers created every day.

Under the heading of 'unintended consequences' there is the changing landscape of the Mexican drug cartels.

With the arrest and deportation of 'El Chapo' the Sinaloan cartel was left with a leadership crisis which weakened their operations. And while that seems like a good thing, as in all other aspects of life power abhors a vacuum.

Guzman (El Chapo) kept a tight rein on the cartels operations. They were in the drug business and he kept it that way. He also kept a tight rein on any operations in the US. They smuggled the drugs across the border and then wholesaled to whoever had the cash. Distribution and the attendant turf wars were left to the US gangs.

With the vacuum left by the weakness in the Sinaloan cartel along comes the new kids on the block, namely the Jalisco New Generation cartel. The Jalisco's are hyper violent and have decided to expand operations. They not only deal the drugs but are into oil theft and human trafficking. But what is even worse and more ominous is they have decided to get into street level distribution in the US. Why do wholesale business when you can do retail as well? Total financial control from top to bottom. That means they'll not only be exporting the drugs to the US but their own particular brand of hyper-violence as well.

Taking down Guzman AND opening the border have facilitated what's coming.

Under the heading of careful what you wish...


Now I want to listen to some Metallica.

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish
You may regret it
Careful what you wish
You just might get it

Several days ago I saw a meme that I wish I had copied and saved. It showed a machine gun on a tripod, and said that before 1934 a child in the United States could legally order one of those through the mail. It also said that before 1934 there were no school shooting in the United States, or any events where a man got a gun and went somewhere to kill strangers.

A friend of mine from high school in some ways resembles Salvador Ramos. He has done everything conservatives say one needs to do to avoid poverty. He not only graduated from high school, he graduated from college, and served in the Army. He never had any illegitimate children, or any children at all. He never married. He has no criminal record. I doubt he even received a traffic ticket. Most of his adult life he worked at two jobs. He has worked hard all his life. He has had nothing to show for it but failure, disappointment, and rejection.

He is chronically angry. Once I asked him, "Have you ever thought about how you resemble the profile of someone who gets a gun and goes somewhere to kill strangers?"

He answered, "Yes. That is what I am always fantasizing."

Fortunately, he never did that, at least not yet. Nevertheless, conservatives and liberals should ask themselves, "What is it about American society that generates people like Salvador Ramos and my friend?" I have no answers. I only have the question. We do not see this kind of thing happening in other affluent democracies.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

It's not exclusively American society. They all generate the same kind of people,
they just manifest differently. Think about it, at one point, just be a free-wheeling artistic type
or anything else deviating from the norm would get you shunned and maybe even stoned or doused...

Not in the UK. You can be eccentric without being criticised.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

Yeah. Sorry, but as I penned, maybe not so clearly,
but that is a more recent development...

I have read that in the UK people are less likely to see moral significance in the distribution of wealth and income. Americans think wealth and income are the rewards for hard work. The terms "working class," and "leisure class" reveal a different attitude about the relationship between work and wealth. Americans know what those terms mean, but we rarely use them. They are used in the UK.

I have also read that in the UK the term "failure" is rarely used. One can take pride in performing a low wage job well.

They WERE used in the UK. The Labour party used to represent the then called 'working class'. Since Mrs thatcher's time, they don't. The working class no longer exists as it did.
