Have you noticed that those on the political left, those calling for gun control… they aren’t practicing what they preach?
All their hand wringing, all their calls “to think of the children,” all their cries to ban guns to save lives… they don’t actually believe any of that.
Or that’s what their actions show.
After all, how many mass shootings are committed by people who are politically conservative or libertarian? When you dig into the facts, it’s pretty close to zero (if not actually zero).
It’s always people who vote Democrat.
And I’m not just being mean here or spreading propaganda. I’m just calling a spade a spade.
Need more evidence than your own eyes that this is true? Well, I have a story for you today backing up what I’ve said (hat tip to here for the lead). Mark Chesnut writes,
According to a recent report from NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), a “violence interrupter” working for CeaseFire Chicago was recently arrested, convicted and sentenced to 22 years in federal prison for, you guessed it, violent crime with a handgun. In this case, it was a string of brazen carjackings that left one victim suffering from a gunshot wound and others threatened at gunpoint.
The sentence was handed down to 23-year-old Jamari Edwards, who admitted in April to carjacking three people during a single week in August 2022. Edwards also pleaded guilty to federal firearm charges tied to the crimes.
Now, I’m sure that Edwards is a fine, upstanding young man… if carjacking people, shooting people, and taunting them at gun point along with robbing them after you shoot them is considered “fine, upstanding” behavior.
No, this guy is just a thug, a bully, and a criminal who was put in a position as an “interrupter” that he had no business being in. After all, he was the guy whose violence needed to be interrupted.
So, should you trust government to protect you from gun violence? Not in Chicago, at least.
This incident just goes to show that those on the political left are the ones that are dangerous, not the 2A advocates that they want to disarm.
