For generations, statist politicians have told us that imposing gun control upon the law-abiding would make our streets safer. The problem is gun control laws never work. Sometimes they make crime worse. After all, by definition, criminals don’t follow the law.
President Donald Trump is bringing crime control to America. He’s tasked the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to round up violent criminal illegals. Almost like magic, violent crime – including murders – has fallen. Take Chicago, where homicides are down sharply or other cities like Baltimore where crime has fallen to near historic lows thanks to holding criminals accountable.
Trump also sent federal agents and the National Guard to restore order in the District of Columbia. Hundreds of thugs and troublemakers – used to bullying the police – have found themselves cuffed and stuffed. Lo and behold, senseless violent crime seems to be on the decline for real, and not the made up stats quoted by the mainstream media and DC political hacks.
Additionally, the Department of Justice is prosecuting Antifa-types who attack government facilities and staffers including law enforcement. You throw a subway sandwich on a federal agent, you’re going to catch a felony and spend time in prison. You spit on a federal agent, expect up to five years in prison. Throw a brick at them and you’ll be out of circulation for a generation. Hope you brought your soap on a rope.
Instead of lobbying for more gun control schemes, President Trump’s Department of Justice is defending the Second Amendment in cases like Guns Save Life’s challenge to the Protect Illinois Communities Criminals Act.
Locking up bad guys works. Just look at El Salvador where gang members now spend their days in prison and the murder rate has dropped from over 200 per 100,000 to 1.1 in the span of ten years.
God bless President Trump for his work cleaning up America’s streets and making America great again.
