My theory is that superiority is built into the identity of the left.

Accusing others of being child killers for disagreeing about gun rights -OR- suggesting disagreement can only stem from ignorance or racism or both. This form of bigotry is so deeply rooted into the psyche of the left that it becomes almost impossible to discuss a political topic w/o letting these direct personal attacks slip.

Our forum has become an interesting case study in the leftists psychology. It is the product of $billions worth of propaganda blasting soft minds with news, and nonstop Hollywood bigotry against wrongthink. The Nazi's would be jealous of the righteousness seen in today's left, and even more jealous of the glee with which the left today enacts its fascist, anti-wrongthink agenda

Good point, why don't Lefties address the bigger issue of the two, suicides? Twice as many people kill THEMSELVES with a gun versus shooting OTHERS with a gun. Why is that fact overlooked by the Lefties? Isn't killing yourself an issue with mental illness versus a gun issue??

But, if we only had "common sense gun laws", expanded background checks and ban AR15's , people wouldn't commit suicide, right?


If you remove suicides, and the top 10 gun homicide cities from the statistics (all of which are Democrat controlled), the national gun homicide rate becomes minuscule.

More unstable people on the left.
If Hillary had won republitards wouldn't be doing this, who crys over this shit?

Now you went and did it. Spreading those FACTS again.

How can the gun grabbers complete their mission, when you blow up their narratives?

You're so mean! :)

Ah ok, so socialism is the failed real world approach. Democratic socialism is a dream that leftists have about "real socialism". Its the "I would never be like Mao if i were in charge" narcassistic fantasy.There is no functional difference. It's all forced collectivism at the barrel of a gun. Take wrong thinkers to the gulags


No, wrong again. Socialism has an actual definition that I shared with you. Sanders does not advocate for government ownership of all means of production. His platform is vastly different than Socialism.

The functional difference is ENORMOUS. It's impossible for me to imagine that anyone would think they are the same.

The correlation is clear. And yes, it is not perfect because other factors are in play.


Nope, no correlation because Lefties want to group suicides and homicides into the same group. That's like comparing apples to army tanks.

FP_ex says
But why refuse to acknowledge and address the most obvious one?

Lefties seem like the only ones actually willing to deal with suicides in reality.

See Liberals Right to Die laws in Colorado etc

and the top 10 gun homicide states? all republican controlled. What about that? How do highly populated states like NY,MA,NJ have less homicides, actual homicides not rate, than shitholes like AL, LA, MS, TN where not nearly as many people live?
264   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Mar 22, 4:01pm  

And St.Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, DC, Chicago, Detroit?

It's pretty clear that what drives the homicide rate is a certain demographic that is 13% of the population but more than 50% of all homicides.
265   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Mar 22, 4:10pm  

Here's an example, the New York City Homicide Rate.

It tends to cluster in certain neighborhoods.



Park Slope, Bay Ridge, Upper East Side, Flushing... low murder.
Brownsville, Flat Bush, East Harlem, Jamaica... high murder.



Interestingly, Brownsville has the worst homicide rate in NYC. There would be about a half-dozen neighborhoods equally bad or worse in Chicago. When was the last time Chicago had a Republican Mayor? 1931.
266   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Mar 22, 4:26pm  

I wonder what Lousiana's Murder Rate would be without New Orleans, Shrevesport, and the 3 Black Majority Parishes in the Northeast. Probably a lot lower.

6.5% of the population - commits more than half the murder (assuming half of blacks are male, but that might be an overstatement due to the numbers in prison and killed from all causes).

We should talk about banning Nigrish Behavior rather than Guns.

Its a sign of brainwashing. Brainwashing manipulates emotions to control people.

Great charts!! How will the Dems spin it, I wonder.

Years ago, I worked in the five boroughs. I can confirm that what that chart posts as demographics is very accurate. As a white dude, there were certain neighborhood I wouldn't go into for all the money in the world.

Here is a good explanation:

Labeling someone as an “-ist” who believes in an “-ism” because of the person’s policy preference is just a shortcut to playground-style name-calling, cloaked in political terminology. It’s also generally a good indication that the attacker doesn’t have a solid argument and needs a way to end debate before it has even begun.

Today's progressives would have been Nazi's FOR SURE. Group think idiocy always leads to tyranny.


It seems like CBOE is well qualified to answer his own question. You guys do it all the time. Although in this case, it's an attack without any other points being made.

Even this question is doing exactly what it accuses leftists of doing. "Why is it difficult for leftists to make points w/o attacking others?"

Does anyone else see the irony ?

Who knows, maybe having an emotionally stable an intelligent leader is good for the economy ?

Even if it wasn't Obama, the trend was in place for six years before Trump started. You can not refute that.

You are missing the point. shocking

Try criticizing Trump w/o calling him an *istaphobe.

It's weak and shows a basic lack of intellectual integrity. I don't see those on the right doing this. Do you?
276   MisdemeanorRebel   2019 Aug 25, 8:57pm  

It's literally jaw dropping how the Media and Leftist Activists manage to dodge the race-murder connection that is pretty damned undeniable.

Very few people are murdered in a few blocks radius of Thaddeuz' Restaurant.

Many people are murdered in the few blocks radius of Green's Fried Chicken.

Less black people
