A strange thing about the secular left. You would expect them to want to be concerned about the safety of people who live in high crime areas. These people are often too poor to afford to move to safer neighborhoods. But if you look closely at the policies of secular left candidates like Harris and Walz, you see that they tend to take the side of criminals.

Here is an article from the New York Post about how crime rates have changed after nearly 4 years of Biden-Harris:

Last month, new FBI data showed that reported serious violent crime (murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault) fell by 3.5% in 2023.

But at the same time — and much more quietly — the FBI revised its earlier data for 2022, turning a reported decrease into a worrisome increase in violent crime.

Last year, the media trumpeted the FBI’s claim that reported violent crime had fallen in 2022 by 2.1%.

But now the FBI admits that violent crime rose in 2022 instead, by 4.5% — off by 6.6 percentage points.

Although the Biden-Harris regime likes to quote FBI crime data, that data is based on crimes that are reported to the police. Many crimes are not reported to the police. There is another survey conducted by the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics. It’s called the 2023 National Crime Victimization Survey. They interviewed 240,000 to see if they were impacted by crime. And the latest report says this:

Instead of the FBI’s 3.5% drop in serious violent crime, the NCVS found a 4.1% increase in violent crime victimization from 2022 to 2023.

While the FBI claims that serious violent crime has fallen by 5.8% since Biden took office, the NCVS numbers show that total violent crime has risen by an incredible 55.4%. Rapes were up by 42%, robbery by 63%, and aggravated assault by 55% during his term.

The increases shown by the NCVS during the Biden-Harris administration are by far the largest percentage increases over any other three-year period, more than doubling the previous record.

Here’s another article about crime from illegal immigration, reported in RealClear Politics:

The new data on all the criminal noncitizens coming into the U.S. is shocking.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) checks the background of illegal aliens they have in custody. But, the administration’s letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) shows that as of July 21, 2024, ICE let 435,719 convicted criminals and 226,847 people with pending criminal charges in their home countries into the U.S.

[…]About 7.4 million noncitizens are in the “national docket data,” so 662,776 is 9% of the total, and if one extrapolates the numbers to the homicide rate in this country, it strongly indicates that the government is letting migrants into this country who commit murder at a rate 50% higher than the rest of the U.S. population.

And these numbers clearly underestimate the crime rate of these noncitizens. The noncitizens in the “national docket data” turned themselves in to border agents for processing or were caught. Those who don’t turn themselves in are obviously far more likely to have something to hide from those doing the processing, so-called “gotaways,” who are observed illegally entering the U.S. but not caught or turned back.

These figures coincide with other data from the Arizona prison system and show illegal aliens commit crime at much higher rates than Americans or legal immigrants.

Now, you would expect elected representatives who are paid by taxpayers to allow those taxpayers to own legal firearms and to defend themselves from criminals without being persecuted. Sadly, there’s no reason to think that a Harris-Walz regime would be supportive of law-abiding citizens owning weapons, or defending themselves from criminals.

This new article from the Daily Caller talks about how the Republican party is trying to appeal to gun owners to vote in the election, so they can avoid gun confiscation and facing criminal charges for self-defense against criminals:

According to Vote4America, more than 10 million gun owners across the country are not registered to vote.

[…]For Republicans, these figures can be perplexing, but gun owners explained to the Caller that there is skepticism towards voting and politics as a whole in the community. Some believe that because they don’t want the government in their business, then they shouldn’t get involved by voting.

Personally, I know a lot of men like this. We have them in Christianity. These are the same people who try to do whatever involves the least amount of work, but they want to sound pious about it. They don’t want to read apologetics books, but they instead cherry pick from the Bible in order to make their laziness and ignorance sound pious and holy. The same thing is happening with many male gun owners. They want to drink beer and watch football, but they also want to say words that make you think that they are patriotic. Their apathy will actually result in the end of the second amendment. Infuriating! But for now, let’s just focus on getting them to vote, so we can save the Republic.

So how do Republican candidates intend to solve this apathy?

To carry its message, Hunter Nation, alongside the NRA, has partnered with celebrities such as Ted Nugent, Donald Trump Jr. (a prominent hunting enthusiast) and the Duck Dynasty organization, Mark told the Caller. Similarly, Vote4America has teamed up with pro-gun personalities like Brooke Ence, Shawn Ryan, Andy Stumpf, Andy Frisella, Dan Hollaway, Shermichael Singleton, and Jason Alden to encourage gun owners to vote, senior adviser Baker Leavitt told the Caller.

Mark expects these types of partnerships to pay off in a big way.

In Wisconsin, according to Hunter Nation’s data, 416,085 gun owners are low-propensity, at risk or newly-registered voters. Of that total, the organization expects to turn out 54,196, Mark said. Biden won the state in 2020 by 20,600 votes.

In Michigan, the number of those potential voters is 452,471. The organization is estimating that it will turn out 70,142 in the 2024 election. Biden won the state in 2020 by 154,000 votes.

The organization also expects to have a big impact in Georgia, where Biden won by about 11,000 votes in 2020. Hunter Nation hopes to turn out 122,913 of the state’s more than 825,000 low-propensity or newly-registered gun owners, Mark said.

In perhaps the election’s most critical state, Pennsylvania, which Biden previously won by about 80,000 votes, the hunting group says their campaign projects to turn out at least 58,000 low-propensity gun owners.

I like this approach, because it’s doing something to solve the problem. I hope that the Republicans can convince these second amendment non-voters to vote. If they can’t, then the second amendment people are going to find out real quick what their apathy costs them.
