Greg Gutfeld explains why the Left is losing on the issue.
Sarah Brady has passed, and so has her cause.
This is a very interesting development:
Empirical support for Gutfeld’s claims can be seen in the pro-gun attitude taking hold in Detroit’s heavily black community right now. Breitbart News recently reported that concealed carry is surging in the black community, and no less a prominent figure than Detroit Police Chief James Craig explained that this is a seismic shift from how things have been historically.
In a tone similar to Gutfeld’s, Craig explained that Detroit residents have simply come to realize that good guys with guns really can protect their own lives and the lives of their neighbors. They have also realized that being armed helps bring stability to their community.
In the real world, these realizations are drowning out anything that gun controllers might say to the contrary.
This comes on top the fact that (as always happens) the hysterical warnings of blood running in the streets if concealed carry is allowed weren’t born out in the wake of Michigan’s new law passed over a decade ago. If the Republicans were smart, they would use this, and school choice, abortion, and other policy catastrophes that the Left has brought upon the black community (not to mention the gay marriage issue, on which blacks are quite conservative) to peel them off in elections. But they’re not, so they won’t.
The GOP should support -inner- city civilian gun ranges IMNSHO.
Precisely along these lines. Contests, training, safety classes the entire laundry list. The -actual- criminal element will avoid it, because the police will frequent it.
There basically -is- no GOP urban plan. And thus, no GOP large cities even in Red States.
Brownback has signed a law which will allow Kansans to concealed carry without a permit.
This should get interesting. The usual suspects are already wetting their pants…
The leftist billionaires like Bloomberg are still spending hundreds of megabucks to support gun control. Bloomberg just managed to get a gun control bill passed in a Washington initiative drive. I sometimes wonder if these socialists with money aren’t less worried about gun violence than some f-ed over middle class liberty advocate putting a .300 Win mag bullet between their horns.
