Crime: CNN Buys Into Liberal Pols' Focus on Guns, Not Criminals

Liberals like to mock people offering "thoughts and prayers" in response to deadly shootings. But liberals themselves invariably trot out a largely useless approach to such tragedies. They focus on guns, not the criminals who use them.

CNN then aired a clip of NYC Mayor Eric Adams announcing that he is going to:

"Reinstitute a newer version of a plainclothes, modified plainclothes, anti-gun unit."

Just consider that bureaucratic gobbledygook. Nothing new. No "change." Just a dusted-off, repackaged, "newer, modified version" of a solution that didn't work before and won't work now. And Prokupecz reported that it's "unclear" how many officers will be in this recycled unit . . . or what they will actually do! Certainly sounds like a formula for success!

Next, CNN aired a clip of New York Governor Hochul, who announced the first meeting of an interstate "illegal-gun task force."

Great! Because when you want to solve a tough problem, there's nothing like another multi-governmental "task force!"

Any theories on why liberals prefer to focus on guns, rather than on the criminals that use them?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

They did it in 1968 and into the 80’s. The only focus they have is to not punish the people who commit crimes, and disarm the people who don’t.

[skeeter]

Of course the media buys into liberal pols bullsh*t. They’ve been indistinguishable for years.

[Bullish]

CNN is such a national disgrace.

[1Old Pro]

I’m sure all the bros are going to immediately turn over the neighborhood guns and the criminals will refuse to buy illegal ones when offered the opportunity.

Wouldn’t expect anything less from these communist POSs.
Gun control never worked, never has and never will.
Let’s try something else, shall we? How about killing the killers? “Wanted Dead or Alive”. Try that awhile and let’s see what happens. These vile bassturds can go piss up a stump.

Guns don’t vote Democrat, criminals do.

[Steve_Seattle]

I’ve said it before: when the perp is black, it is called “gun violence” and the focus is on the gun. If the perp is white, the focus is on the perp and his motives.

[Sarah Barracuda]

This is the same CNN that thinks that Jan 6th is the worst thing to happen to America EVER..meanwhile criminal thugs can murder, rape, rob anyone they want and its fine..why, simple, criminals are the Dems main voting bloc, cant insult them by calling them what they are

[Sirius Lee]

Awkwardly, nobody buys what CNN is selling anymore. What are the ratings these days? 6 unwilling people at an airport lobby?

[libertylover]

Of course, the media buys into liberal pols bullsh*t. They’ve been indistinguishable for years.

Yes. See Tagline.

When you are a DIM it’s Monkey see Monkey DooDoo:-)

[MAAG]

CNN touting the "solutions" of liberal politicians to focus on guns rather than the criminals who use them was sponsored by ADT, Subaru, NordicTrack, and Liberty Mutual.

If you buy any service, or invest in any mutual fund that backs these companies, it is time to speak with your purse/wallet. (BDS)

[Bubba_Leroy]

How about enforcing existing gun laws before passing new ones?

[upchuck]

Nothing changes. New Mayor. Same as the old Mayor.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

They're suddenly interested in "guns" and "violence" like they're now interested in border security - overseas.

The thuggos out doing stuff are probably habitual jailbirds and shouldn't be on the loose in the first dang place. And it's gonna get worse since they're on track to closing down a bunch of prisons in NY state. Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games....

“Nothing changes. New Mayor. Same as the old Mayor.”

Yes. Adams ran as tough on crime. But he won’t criticize the insane Soros-backed new Manhattan DA who won’t prosecute many serious crimes, is against bail, etc.
