I find the following excerpts astounding. The rest of the world is either LTFAO or shaking their heads at us in disbelief. How can the Amerikun public be so ignorant as to allow this $hit...
Biden also reframed some COVID-19 rescue funds as public safety dollars. The Treasury Department issued new guidance clarifying that cities and states can use their share of direct aid, which they started receiving in May, on hiring police officers and other law enforcement officials, prosecuting gun traffickers, and new technology to respond to gun violence. "Some might say that the other party was for 'defunding the police,'" said White House press secretary Jen Psaki, turning the go-to Republican attack around by noting no Republicans voted for Biden's rescue package.

Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy, said the increase in gun violence spans cities and suburbs alike, and all regions. He expects it will increase in the summer when more people go out, party and consume alcohol.
Webster said the gun violence spike predated the pandemic but picked up when the spread of the coronavirus last spring led to soaring unemployment, closed schools and upended lives. He said it accelerated even more amid the national unrest after the death of George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis killed by a white police officer, setting off nationwide protests.
Besides these two major events, he said another factor for the spike in gun violence is more fundamental: More Americans are carrying guns. Arrests for illegal gun possession are also up over last year.
"Somewhat perversely, the actions that people take to protect themselves as individuals collectively does the opposite," Webster said. "And I think that's an important part of where we are right now."
Criminals have this sixth sense. Specifically, they can tell who's packing and who isn't. After all, they're professionals.
So of course normal people carrying guns is going to deter crime! Jesus Christ, someone wake me up I must be dreaming. We don't stand a chance with these people parsing the data and redacting anything which doesn't support their narrative.
Thank you.
