US cities see unexplained rise in violent crimes this year

[wildchild]

The media is clueless once again. Obama and has cronies spent the better part of 2015 attacking police and then they act surprised when violent crime rates explode. Wasn't Obama supposed to be this transformative President who would fix all these problems. It seems like when the left comes in and tries to fix a problem, the problem ends up getting worst. Keep in mind that black lives matter though.

CHICAGO (AP) — Violent crimes — from homicides and rapes to robberies — have been on the rise in many major U.S. cities, yet experts can't point to a single reason why and the jump isn't enough to suggest there's a trend.

Still, it is stumping law enforcement officials, who are seeking a way to combat the problem.

"It's being reported on at local levels, but in my view, it's not getting the attention at the national level it deserves," FBI Director James Comey said recently. "I don't know what the answer is, but holy cow, do we have a problem."

If you want to see a reduction in violent crimes in large cities, then make it easy for decent citizens to arm themselves and get concealed carry permits.

No, it is not stumping law enforcement officials. It's stumping the clueless left who tie the hands of the law enforcement officials. Well, that's not entirely true either. The majority of the left know exactly what they're doing.

Is this a tasteless joke? The huge difference between an ordinary citizen in the inner city and a president who holds the key to nuclear weapons is that the latter is manifold as intelligent, and wiser, and better advised. Not sure you get my drift but you can't possibly be serious abd suggest more weapons will solve the problem of violence. More weapons in the hands of uneducated and outright stupid people will produce more violence not less. How about starting with more education first.

Are you claiming that law-abiding citizens with no felony records should not own guns.

Here is today's fact - the U.S. cities with the strictest gun control laws generally have the highest crime rates. The cities that allow law-abiding citizens to arm themselves with minimal restrictions are near the bottom in crime rate.

I am claiming that the average citizen is incredibly dumb. Having put a weapon into the hands of the stupid is a big reason they go about killing each other, more so than in any other part of the world.

And link to an authoritative source, please, to support your claims.

By the way why is there no mandatory classroom and practical training in the US before you allow idiots to purchase and own weapons. After all we also don't let an untrained driver lose driving our streets, right? I am afraid the truth is that one can't regulate a jungle, and unfortunately it appears to be a jungle between Silicon Valley and Silicon Alley.

we are not going to put the weapon in their dumb hands. Even dumb Americans can get a gun. We just want to make sure elitists don't decide who is smart and who is dumb like you.

Here's an even better fact. Canadian cities have much lower crime rates then US cities. So the morale there is follow the Canadian example of stricter gun control. Might take a few decades to get it right but you have to start somewhere, and going backwards is not the solution.

Yes, I'm claiming that law abiding citizens should not own guns. Law enforcement only.

Nice try moron. Having a drivers license is a privilege not a right. The right to own a gun is a right granted in the US Constitution.
