“Tag: violent crime”

Jurisdictions that embrace the progressive soft-on-crime philosophy that was popularized after a handful of high-profile police-suspect interactions are fueling rising crime rates. American freedom is not to blame for this.

Anti-Second Amendment politicians are trying to spin the facts; they are telling voters the surge in crime is the result of American freedom, not the policies of the far left.

If you ever needed proof that your vote matter sand elections have consequences, today's headlines should convince you.

Most people think guns are used in a majority of violent crimes. This misunderstanding comes from mainstream-media misinformation.

The data shows that the bulk of violent crimes in major cities are perpetrated by small numbers of known criminals. Rather that subjecting those criminals to vigorous prosecution, soft-on-crime prosecutors and politicians would rather blame law-abiding gun owners.

Take a look at how the NRA quietly leads the charge against anti-gun politicians who are insistent on limiting—or eliminating—our right to bear arms.

Whatever arguments may exist for limiting the role of the police in American life, they cannot be applied seriously to issues involving violent crime.

It has been difficult for the mainstream media to spin the fact that even as Americans bought more and more guns, the crime rates just kept going down.

As your new NRA president, I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve our Association and protect your right to keep and bear arms.
