Gun control activists and anti-gun politicians love to claim that we need new federal restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms because state-level gun control laws aren’t enough to reduce violent crime, even though these same activists are continually pushing to add more gun control laws to the books at the state and even local level.
And when those local or state-level gun control bills get turned into gun control laws, those anti-gun politicians never tell the public “just so you know, this really won’t do much of anything until and unless the federal government puts these same laws in place.” No, instead they generally promise that the newly-signed laws will be valuable life-saving measures that will make their state (or city) a safer place.

Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong’s withering criticism of the city council’s decision to strip the police department of $17-million from its budget is drawing some rave reviews from conservatives, who are applauding the chief’s common sense complaint that stripping the department of much-needed funds is going to exacerbate the already-rising crime rate. As my colleague Bryan Preston at PJ Media recently reported:
One council member said the city might experience “speed bumps” as residents and police adjust to new levels of funding and staffing. Chief Armstrong took direct aim at that statement after noting that Oakland had suffered four homicides in three days, bringing the city’s total for 2021 to 65 homicides. Armstrong said this is a 90% increase in homicides over 2020. Violent crime is up across the board in Oakland, according to the chief.

I’m sure you’ve seen the story by now; Second Amendment activists duped into giving a graduation speech to an empty field filled with 3,044 empty chairs, their pro-2A remarks edited together with 911 calls from students inside schools where active shooters were prowling the hallways and classrooms and taking innocent lives. The slickly-produced piece of agit-prop was released by gun control group Change The Ref, which was founded by Manuel and Patricia Oliver after their son Joaquin was murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, but the clip was put together by Leo Burnett Chicago, one of the most widely-regarded advertising agencies in the country.
