‘Pundits who, only days before, had been vociferously lamenting the gun crisis rushed to denounce Trump for fearmongering about crime’

July 27, 2016 By Kathy Shaidle

Steve Sailer writes:

The rise and fall of murders in New York City has been famously related to the ruling political ideology for the past 50-plus years. (…) It would be nice if policemen didn’t tend to be divas who sulk and slack off when political leaders demonize cops as racist murderers and encourage black rage, but that’s the way they are.

This is actually another reason not to valourize cops that I hadn’t thought of before. Thanks, Sailer!!

But we on the right have to get our story straight too:

Is crime going up or down? If concealed carry permits are up, and concealed carry lowers crime, why is crime up?
