Has there ever been a more effective gun ownership advocate than President Barack Hussein Obama?

So you do not disagree with the historic drop in crime under President Obama?

record drop  in murders in Chicago......thank you president Obama.

What a guy!!!!

After he ninja killed bin laden and gaddafi... I knew he was a superhero. I'm going to vote for him next time.

I think this should be the new intro music for the President......he is a bad MOFO.....can you dig it

You are desperate.



Sharper policing strategies, stiffer prison sentences and newer technologies are again being credited as police officials proffer explanations for the two-decade decline in violent crime in America’s biggest cities.

Obama hasn't been President for 20 years.

Xbox effect: Dinner bells that summoned children from the great outdoors have long gone silent, and youths and young adults are spending more time on indoor pursuits involving high-definition TVs, gaming consoles and computers. That, say researchers, is having a positive impact on crime. Why? Fewer young people on the street mean fewer potential criminals and fewer targets for criminals.
Potential criminals may also be spending more of their time stealing virtual cars or robbing virtual banks.

I didn’t know Obama created any electronics.

Gadgets and technology also have had other impacts on criminal behavior. Street corners and drug dens are no longer as dangerous as they once were, because cellphones and the Internet have largely taken their place as marketplaces for illicit goods, says UCLA Public Policy Professor Mark Kleiman.
"The cellphone and the beeper have made open air drug dealing and crack houses mostly obsolete,” he said.

Oh goodie, they are keeping up with technology.  Obama responsible for that?



Housing projects


“We found that overall of the city there was a huge reduction in crime where the public housing was demolished and a net decline in violent crime citywide, which was sustained, from 2000 to 2010,” she said.
When the housing project residents moved to other neighborhoods they brought crime with them, but the net effect for the city overall was still a lower crime rate, Popkin said

Even better!  Moving the hood to once safe places.  Yippee!


Cocaine market cracked:

A surge in crack cocaine use is often blamed for fueling the explosion in gang warfare and violent crime that led to record murder rates in the early 1990s in many big cities across America. But little notice is typically paid to the role that declining cocaine consumption has played in violent crime’s tailspin.
A survey by the 2011 by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that the number of Americans who said they used cocaine fell 40 percent from 2006 to 2011. Over the same period, there was a comparable decline in dependency.


"It's the biggest win ever in the history of drug control and nobody pays much attention," says Jonathan Caulkins, a Carnegie-Mellon professor and co-director of Rand Corporation's Drug Policy Research Center.
Meanwhile, maturation of drug sales and distribution networks also may be playing a role, as violence has claimed the lives of the most combustible sellers. And Maryland Professor Peter Reuter said baby-boomers still using crack cocaine aren’t the negative force they once were because they are “aging out of violent crime.”


Obama or a changing population?


Attendant Joe Turchiano pumps gasoline in Shirley, on New York's Long Island, on May 14, 1979, as an alcohol-unleaded gasoline mixture goes on sale for the first time.

Lead footprint: Exposure to lead among children has long been linked with lower IQs and cognitive skills, and its physiological impact on the brain also has been connected to the sorts of impulsive and aggressive behaviors that underpin violent crime. In the late 1970s, lead was removed from gasoline and paint, resulting in the lead levels in American bloodstreams falling 80 percent by 1991. But could an environmental impact also spill over into social policy?

That must again be the 1970’s Obama I didn’t know of.


Roe v. Wade: The conclusion of the lead study referenced another factor thought to significantly influence the falling crime rate: Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court legalizing abortion.

Silly me, I didn’t know Obama was involved in Roe v. Wade


Home bodies:

Conventional wisdom says that crime goes up when the economy turns down, but numerous studies have shown otherwise. That’s because while adversity breeds desperation, it also creates more supervision.
Police and social scientists were watching closely for a possible spike in violent crime during the Great Recession that began in 2008, but it never materialized. That’s partly because more people were staying home because they lacked work, deterring criminals through their presence or quickly phoning police if they see suspicious behavior, the experts say. Other subtle social forces were at work as well. Since the 1990s, for example, Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys have consistently found that between 20 and 25 percent of the employed do some or all of their work at home. And a growing pool of retirees helps bolster the number of stay-at-home crime-stoppers.

Staying home because they lacked work?  Great solution!

Immigration:

Academics have posited other explanations for falling murder and violent crime rates, including the fact that more criminals appear to be pursuing identity-theft related corimes that reduce the danger for them while allowing for potentially bigger pay days.[/b]

Change is good?  Ok.

Or perhaps a generation that suffered the chaos and shame sown by drugs and violence has sought not to repeat the past. Maybe, it’s all part of an evolution.

Odd, they aren’t crediting Obama, only you.

By golly you may have something.......so you mean when something good happens under the President.....it is not his doing, but if something bad happens it is his fault.......and I am desperate.    

I get it now. silly me

Typical response.

I'm going to let y'all in on a secret... you know those drones we hear about? Well there really is no such thing.

That's just the Obamanator in his superhero suit.

Typical response.

The truth hurts.......I was wondering who would be silly enough to actually go through the article and did not understand the concept of satire.....I thought it would be Pace, but I guess in the end I was not surprised a bit.

I'm not surprised.

I was not either, I imagine after she read Jonathan Swift's modest proposal she wrote the school board that it was awful eating Irish babies.......

However, you do Know he was directly responsible for the attack in Libya.........the bo weevil infestation in Jackson, and the really cold weather........he has nothing to do with a growing economy, lower crime, peace, and loopholes being closed.

Shut up... you have NO idea as to the limits... or if there are any... to his superpowers.

One more word saying he can't do something and I'll turn you in.

somebody who understands satire.......gee do you think you could help some of your buds get their arms around the same.

The standard Markle line......


Well I like his technique so much that if anything GOOD happens, I am going to blame the President.........because he is in charge.

Chrissy.....the President is really really doing a good job, what are your thoughts......do you agree.

If you feigned an occasional dissent... your slobbering adoration might hold some value.

You have to admit the President is doing a great job.
