ATF data shows that in 2020, police recovered almost twice as many guns with a short “time-to-crime” — in this case, guns recovered within a year of their purchase — than in 2019. Law enforcement officials generally view a short time-to-crime as an indicator that a firearm was purchased with criminal intent, since a gun with a narrow window between sale and recovery is less likely to have changed hands. Altogether, more than 87,000 such guns were recovered in 2020, almost double the previous high. And almost 68,000 guns were recovered in 2020 with a time-to-crime of less than seven months (meaning they were less likely to have been purchased the previous year).

New Data Suggests a Connection Between Pandemic Gun Sales and Increased Violence

As usual, the way numbers are presented by the loyal minions of Bloomberg not necessarily represent the scandal they wanted it to be. It is true that the raw number of time-to-trace firearms almost doubled from 2019 (67,841 v. 35.683) they do fail to compare the number of firearms that went in the market during the same periods. For 2019, almost 14 million guns were sold while in 2020, even The Trace acknowledges somewhat in passing with a graphic the reality of a brutal increase: some 14 million for 2019 versus almost 23 million in 2020. That comes to 0.25% of weapons sold are in the 7-month Time to Trace in 2019 goes up to an “”scandalous” 0.3% of weapons sold in 2020 or a 0.05% increase as weapons sales rose what? %35 to 40%?

And, of course and the same as with ATF, we have no data on how those firearms reached crime scene but for a few examples and obviously The Trace selects the most scandalous like a fight between neighbors or some other stupid encounter.  It is interesting that The Trace does mention in another article not linked to this one that FFLs reported in 2020 the loss of almost 13,000 weapons. We do not have how many of those traced firearms were stolen from gun owners or bought via Straw Purchase or simply were used in crimes by the original legal buyers. The last one I am willing to bet would be such an infinitesimal number that it would not even be considered as statistical aberration, but The Trace has no problem trying to “suggest” in passing it would be the biggest one.

The scandal that The Trace tries to create simply does not exists for the reasons they are trying to push. We as gun owners still gave an issue to resolve which is the gun stolen from vehicles, but I also doubt this is a huge part of where the 7 month traced guns come from.

Now, if we could only address the problem of letting criminals walk free and giving them free reign of our cities to burn and pillage and they want, maybe we will see less crime in the country.

But that is never what groups like The Trace are about and we know it.

? AWKWARD, SHADE WAR:
Joe Biden Refuses to acknowledge Kamala as he walks right past her in US Capitol. Then Joe asks Jill to SWITCH SEATS so he won’t be close to VP. Neither make eye contact as Joe looks AT THE CEILING and Kamala looks at the floor.

Even these fuckers can’t stand one another.

They still hate each other from the campaign when Kamala called Biden a racist and then Biden won the nomination after Kamala was forced to drop out before the first caucus.

The best part: these are only 11 months in.

They have three more years to fully implode into utter dysfunctional chaos.

I bet there are a lot of Ukrainians who grew up listening to stories about what Grandma and Grandpa saw in and did to survive the horrors of the Holodomor.

I suspect a deep, generations long grudge is held against the Russians for that.

I can only imagine if the Russians came back how these people would react.

I wonder what Ukrainian is for “a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

The Russian might be successful but it will cost them dearly.

He shows up in drag, daily.

“Harvey Milk meets Harvey Dent.  I’m here to recruit you.

Harvey Milk preyed on gay teenage runaways.

Harvey Dent was Two-Face the Batman villain.

How many red flags does this guy need to toss out?

His administration is fine with it.

That’s not a safe space, that is a homosexual pedophile grooming space.

This absolutely should not be legal under any circumstances.

You want to know why the conspiracy seems to be more real everyday theory that our nation is run by pedophile Satanists had gained so much traction?

Because when a teacher shows up in full drag to recruit students, the school administration gives that the thumbs up.

States rights, damn the federal government!!!

A few years ago California declared itself a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants.  California would not cooperate with federal law enforcement in enforcing immigration law.

The federal government never did what it should have done and curb stomped the fuck out of California and make it compliant with federal law.

Now that the future of abortion is being decided in the Supreme Court (the ultimate decision I doubt will be all that radical), California has once again decided to act like its own sovereign nation.

Gov. Gavin Newsom says California will be an abortion ‘sanctuary’ if Roe v. Wade is overturned

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he planned for California to be a “sanctuary” for abortions if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

Speaking to the Associated Press, Newsom said he was aware that out-of-state patients are likely to flock to California if protections for abortion rights are rolled back.

“We’ll be a sanctuary,” Newsom told the AP. “We are looking at ways to support that inevitability and looking at ways to expand our protections.”

The group’s recommendations include asking California to increase its investment in abortion funds to alleviate the cost of medical services and make providers more easily accessible. They suggested creating and funding an “uncompensated care program” that essentially pays for lodging and care for out-of-state individuals seeking abortions.

So California tax payers will pay into a fund that will cover the housing, travel, and abortion costs for non-California residents to come to California for an abortion.

Unless they specifically raise taxes for this, the fungability of money means that in one was or another  federal tax dollars will contribute to this.

Also, I suspect California will cut all other restrictions on abortion and it will become a free-for-all.

California can’t deal with mass looting, retail theft that is causing businesses to close, a runaway homicide rate, the worst homelessness crisis in the country, but it will make sure every Red state pregnant person who doesn’t want to become a birthing person can have a free abortion.

I swear, by the end of 2022 California will be under strict vaccine passport travel restrictions limiting the free movement of everyone except for people looting or having an abortion.

I don’t understand why California thinks it can go rogue and the federal government refuses to reign it it.

If California does this it should lose all federal tax dollars. If they want to act like a sovereign nation, they can fund themselves completely.
