as a postscript to its
bloody holiday weekend two atf agents
and a police officer was shot last night
in chicago but joe
biden was in illinois not to address
anything
actually happening there but to call for
quote
generational investments in human
infrastructure i suppose when so many
bodies
are lying around on the ground where two
by fours and pallets of bricks should be
it's easy to think of humans as
infrastructure meanwhile
new york has become the first state to
declare
quote gun violence a public emergency if
you look at the recent numbers says
governor cuomo more people are now dying
from
gun violence and crime than covid and
when you consider how many people his
blood-soaked covert policies killed that
sounds like
quite a corpse count uh dana lash is
one of america's top radio hosts her
show just keeps getting bigger and
bigger and we're
always glad to see her dana
tired exhausted politicians reach for
the most
pitiful of tropes and on the democrat
side that is often
quote unquote gun violence which seems
to have nothing to do
with whoever it is who actually has his
hand on the gun
no you're you're exactly right mark and
it's good to see you good to be with you
um and really enjoy your monologue as
well yeah you're right because when i
when you look at the
the gun laws in new york and when you
look at the gun laws in illinois these
are states that have
some of these the strictest gun laws in
the nation i mean consider new york for
example they have the new york safe act
you have
magazine capacity restrictions you have
registration
i mean you could argue the the weakening
of hipaa laws so that doctors could
could report patients that they felt
within their discretion that the patient
was becoming dangerous i mean the
removal of due process
furthermore anything that has the a
detachable magazine is defined by new
york state as
being considered an assault weapon so i
mean it's a pretty it's an insane law
i'm not even getting into the safe
storage part of it
or the storage part of it but with all
of these laws they still have this
insane
skyrocketing increase in crime
particularly
illegal you have you have illegal
possession illegal carrying of firearms
in use in commission of other felonies
by these prohibited possessors and that
mark ultimately when you look at new
york and chicago chicago
illinois the same thing chicago new york
they have the strictest gun laws also
one of the lowest prosecution rates for
quote unquote felony gun crimes i've
written about this extensively i was
tweeting about it a little bit earlier
today
but that's the problem isn't it it's
politicians that don't actually enforce
the law
that reduce penalties and in some cases
there are numerous cases in both chicago
and new york mark where they don't even
go
after uh prosecutions for repeat
offenders with felony possession in the
first place
and that's that's what's driving this
crime that is what's doing it not law
abiding gun owners
and if you subscribe to this broken
windows theory as people did
30 years ago what we've seen uh is the
elimination of any attempt
to uh prosecute or investigate
low rates of property crime so for
example you can walk into stores
as they are doing in new york uh and
just take merchandise from the shelves
and walk out with it
in front of the uh in front of the store
keepers and the clerks
and those guys basically if you're
allowed to steal hundreds of dollars
worth of merchandise and the state says
it's okay
why wouldn't you advance to other crimes
yeah yeah exactly i mean you create an
environment of lawlessness that
coupled with new york's bail reform
which was so bad
and had such dire consequences that they
had to roll back portions of it it was
so disastrous
you're they're creating this environment
that is fueling crime because they're
telling they're projecting to criminals
first off they don't have their the the
backs of police officers and secondly
they're saying look we're not going to
go after
after anybody for this stuff which is
caught on video we're not going to go
after anybody for crime so feel free
feel free to commit crimes but yet the
same you have lori lightfoot you have
andrew cuomo
even bill de blasio uh all say the same
thing it's all
it's the epidemic is uh gun violence and
if you can sit here and characterize the
willful choices mark of a criminal
and as compared to a law-abiding gun
owner if you can say that that
is an epidemic a health epidemic and
treat it like public health policy you
can do that with absolutely anything
it's ludicrous
yeah you're absolutely right dana and
and and they they purport to be
surprised
when they've spent over a year
incentivizing crime
and criminals great stuff dana thank you
