Why is there no outrage about gangs?

[Lamb]

There is so much outrage against guns but no outrage against gangs. In big cities aren't most of the murders committed by gang members? Are we supposed to be turning a blind eye like their neighbors do?

It's easier to focus on an inanimate object than on the long-term policy failures that result in gangs forming in the first place. It's also convenient to overlook the ugly truths that a lot of the gang (and gun) violence happens in cities that have been under long-term Democrat control and that already have tighter gun laws than the rest of the country. Chicago and Baltimore are two of the lowlights on the list.

Since it's well known criminals don't obey the law it's easier to blame guns, blame the NRA (never mind that mass shooters never turn out to be NRA members), blame anything except the policies that have condemned a generation to hopeless poverty.

It doesn't seem that gangs are at the center of all this violence with mass shootings.

And there lies another part of the problem. If 50 people die in one shooting it's all over the media amidst much howling about how guns have to be banned. But if 5000 people die over the course of the year, one or two at a time, in some low-income dump of a city plagued by drugs and gangs, nobody bats an eyelid. And of course the tens of thousands who die on the roads each year barely get a mention, but if some nutter drives his truck into a crowd and kills a couple of dozen it's front page news.

The Chicago Tribune breaks it down nicely in Tracking Chicago homicide victims. Most deaths are the result of gun violence and so far this year 314 have been shot.

Baltimore homicides tracking you can see that the majority if the 200 homicides this year are by shootings.

From the article, "the majority of the victims are young black men". It often seems like another anomaly of news reporting is that if a white guy kills a handful of black guys the howling about racism is deafening but if black guys kill hundreds of other black guys it's just business as usual.

Doesn't Baltimore have really strict gun control? I know Maryland overall is stricter than most of the states surrounding it.

The agenda is to disarm law-abiding citizens and ignore the armed criminal gangs...
Plus to underfund our armed forces...
And overfund all social services...
Weakening the country in the world and at home...

Put a leach on every blood vessel at home...
And neuter our armed forces abroad...
Prosecuting soldiers doing their duty...
And putting regulatory strait jackets on citizens...

Pretty straight forward really...

False. The majority IS gang related.
The reason I say that it because technically a mass shooting is defined as *four or more victims killed, so when the media says we had this high x amount of mass shootings over the year they are including mostly gang related mass shootings.
Of course the media won't clarify this for obvious reasons

They have not yet the power to disarm civilians, this is obviously an issue of blaming Trump and his supporters right before the 2020 election because not many level headed "progressives" will vote for these extreme radical left socialist democrat candidates. It's as clear as day, you see once they give illegals the right to vote who are they going to vote for do you think? This is the biggest security crises in America and once these socialist get into power they will usurp the constitution and amendment rights and take away arms from the people it's their guarantee.
Has anyone seen a DSA convention? Look it up online these are the democrat socialist party members and this is what will become of America.
I am convinced that the media is Hitler incarnate, and these (not all) dems running for office are following the same protocol of socialism by divide just as the Nazis did in my honest opinion.
Hillary did a thesis on a book written by a known Luciferian who wrote in the opening of his book that Lucifer was the first great rebel to successfully accomplish his own kingdom against the establishment!
You can see the influence Nazism has had on these politicians, to lie and lie and lie and eventually people will believe it... To never confess to it... When Hillary was asked why she suddenly changed her mind on border security she changes the subject and never answers the question..
Anyway, not trying to steer the subject but yes socialism is communism and communism is the red horsemen, it weakens every nation it conquers... as Obama once stated "we are no longer a Christian nation.." they want to eradicate conservatism which is based on Christian values and tradition.

Correction: 4 or more victims. We had a mass shooting in our town but none were killed. It is listed on the list of mass shootings.
