News / Politics / Activism Rash of Recent Police Actions Against Firearms/drugs/gangs

Is anyone else pissed off by all the recent news of police stopping firearm smuggling, illegal firearms, drug busts, etc.?

Liberals have been soft on crime for their entire modern existence, catch and release, embarrassingly short sentences, and so many other policies we've complained about for decades. Well now all of a sudden they're making busts left, right, and center.

After decades of campaigning on community safety, they know their asses are finally on the line and they have to produce objective data that shows their absolute farce of a "buyback" made even the smallest dent in gun crime.

So now they're going to do all the things we've begged them for for decades, cracking down on weapon smuggling. Then they're going to attribute that reduction in crime, (that anyone with 2 braincells to rub together has known the solution was curbing illegal firearms) to taking guns away from us "dangerous and unhinged" firearms owners. Then theyre going to use that data as the basis to take the next bite out of private firearm ownership.

They're going to manufacture the data they need, by taking the steps we all know needed to be done, only to blatantly and fraudulently misrepresent that data to attack us even further....

It's just so tiresome, and predictable... and the liberal voters of this country can't be trusted to look at anything with even a modicum of critical thought.

Your “critical thought” has a lot of assumptions. Its a problem to fight crime now to you because they are a liberal government? The police have been around regardless of the political party in power they are doing their job. Quote me an article that attributes these recent busts to the OIC’s.

I want our police and our legal system to work, i want criminals to fear our justice system. I just wanted them to be doing it for the last 3 or 4 decades too, not just now when it feels like its only being done to satisy political reasons.

Cutting down on crime is a good thing, it always will be, i would never say otherwise
