“These two businesses did not get looted in Ferguson”
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Yeah a big study on guns showed high numbers of gun owners in communities(cities/countries) always equated to lower rates of violent crime. And violent criminals, rampage nut mass killers etc, go to low gun, gun controlled areas. Bottom line: predators don’t like becoming prey.
A very politically incorrect reality.
Those “facts” that you have supplied are certainly made up, it is well known that when gun free zones are created and fewer responsible individuals do NOT have firearms, people, even of the the more aggressive and lawless kind behave in a more civilized, courteous and respectful way. And in addition government can be trusted with the peoples freedoms. Pure right wing, Rush Limbaugh, NRA, Founding Fathers BS!
LOL!!!
No that’s a complete fantasy. From professors withy chairs at Princeton, to FBI stats, to news reports. fewer guns drives up violent crime. Nationally, internationally, etc. Even with very consistent rises year after year after gun control is slamed on, and same rates of declines after they rae reduced.
Are you sure? Isn’t it that the people in America having access to the guns is what causes the American people to do all of those bad things that they do? If there were no guns how could anyone shoot another person? I don’t believe the FBI statistics that you site, people just don’t do those things, if you give them the chance by having the government take away all of the guns they will love each other instead of shooting each another. Isn’t that the nature of man?
Have you ever read any comment that I have ever made on this site / subject?
Gun violence is generally “professional”. Criminals using it to commit crimes, gangs to secure turf, intimidate folks for payoffs, etc. Since gun control laws really have no impact on crooks having guns (they don’t buy guns from stores that follow the laws, the penalties for the crimes dwarf that of having the gun, etc), but does greatly inhibit their victims (prey) from arming themselves. So it makes violent armed crime much safer and more practical for would be criminals. So the violence and weapons usage of crocks goes up. Burglers who used to try to sneek in at night, change to kicking in doors and demanding money at gun point, assuming mush less risk of folks in the house shooting back etc.
Also even if the gun use declines, the violence goes up. Again, the victims have less ability to fight back so….
In some cases it brings out more sick crooks, rapists, serial killers, rampage killers (like the guy in Colorado why tried to shoot up the folks in a Batman movie and escape like the joker, or the guy in Connecticut shooting up school children, etc [that god they used flashy looking AR-15’s not more lethal but non “assault style” hunting weapons], etc) who just want to hurt folks and see a opportunity. But mostly its just a practical “business” decision.

Of course, why?
