Real facts on Gun deaths

 BIDEN FOLLOWS DEMOCRAT PATTERN OF OBSESSION WITH GUNS

PRESS CONFERENCE LOADED WITH LIES AND MISINFORMATION

It seems it is the right of passage for all new democrat administrations to focus on guns as one of their priorities early in their administration. I assume yesterday was Biden's checking of a box. Even he knows that his chances of passing any anti-2nd amendment legislation are remote. Non the less, he checked the box and the worst part of his orders is the appointing of an anti-gun extremist to the head of ATF. This person should never be confirmed for this job. This is a very important position and if taken by an anti-2nd amendment zealot, he will do a lot of harm to the ATF and to the country.

I personally dealt with the ATF for 35 years and the regulatory part of the ATF has always been a very professional, objective group of real people. They did their job, and had a good working relationship with all the firearms distributors and dealers. The encouraged a cooperative effort in the best interests of the country.

A zealot in charge of this agency will hinder that cooperation, take the focus off the real criminals and likely encourage harassment of the industry for political purposes.  This will not be in the best interest of anyone. The politicization of the ATF will be a disaster for ATF and for the country.

As for his stating that firearms deaths is a epidemic, that plainly is an exaggeration. The epidemic is the criminal element of the democrat ruled cities of America. Much of this is part of the drug trade. The fighting over turf and the collecting of drug debts. We see no focus on the criminal element in these cities, maybe that should be the administrations priority.  I do not recall one arrest by the FBI of any politician or law enforcement officer for taking drug money. Is drug cartel money only corrupting the politicians in other countries?

Below are murder facts from the FBI. take notice that more murders are committed with knives, blunt objects and fists than with rifles or shotguns. 

The obsession with rifles by democratic politicians, must be a fear that in future they may be used against them. The facts about firearms deaths is that the majority are suicide, not included in the above table, which are not going to be solved by firearms laws. 

As for democrat politicians fear of an armed populace, the only attacks on politicians have been by their own constituents against conservative politicians, encouraged by their stoking the hate and fear of conservatives in general.
