Are all people that commit gun crimes conservative?

After all, conservatives are pro gun and liberals are anti-gun. Therefore it wouldn't make any sense for a liberal to have a gun to commit a crime with it.

    It's nothing to do with political affiliations.

    "Gun crime" is committed be people who do not obey the law - it's nothing to do with legal ownership.

    It still happens in countries that have NO *legal* gun ownership.

    Criminal are inherently not law abiding so the only sensible laws are those that allow criminal acts to be punished.

    "Controlling" laws only restrict what law-abiding people can do and take away freedoms; decent people don't deliberately harm others.

    If anything, require some level of tested basic safety proficiency before issuing licences - the same as with driving a car that can kill others if you make a mistake. A one hour "safe handling" session would drastically reduce the number of accidental discharge incidents.

    NO! Just the opposite, the liberals are and have always been the murders, here is proof.

    On September 28, 1868, a mob of Democrats massacred nearly 300 black Republicans in Opelousas, Louisiana. The savagery began when racist Democrats attacked a newspaper editor, a white Republican and schoolteacher for ex-slaves. Several blacks rushed to the assistance of their friend, and in response, Democrats went on a knee grow hunt,” killing every knee grow (all of whom were Republicans) in the area they could find.

    In 1863 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.

    In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan.

    In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung-Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech.

    In 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killing 6 others.

    In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.

    In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people in a school.

    One could go on, but you get the point, even if the media does not.

    Clearly, there is a problem with liberals and guns, all liberals should be banned from having firearms, as is all criminals.

    Why is it none of the disturbed and evil men, who steal guns, or buy them bent on evil, to kill movie-goers and children in school, has ever been identified as a conservative, Tea Party member or NRA member?

  • Only so far as to equate death-wish, "going out with guns a-blazin" insanity with conservatism.

    But, to be much more fair and balanced than Fox news obviously isn't, the most recent gun crimes within the last couple of years have been perpetrated by the following:

    Excessive use of deadly force by police against black youth, (who according to a lot of "police are always infallible" apologists, "had it coming to them")

    So, with that example, apparently the police are now radical leftists who are also raging racists as well.....

    Zimmerman vs. a bag of skittles wielding black youth in a hoodie, oooooh, that's so scary, nothing a self-appointed vigilante can't handle.....

    Remember how quickly the radical gun toting extremists were quick to claim Zimmerman was a registered democrat, when in fact had he been a democrat without a retired judge for a daddy, he would be cooling his heels in a florida prison for the premeditated murder of that black kid, see how complete the narrative is, we can all remember the name of person who got away with premeditated murder, but we have a hard time remembering the innocent victim's name...

    I could go on, but why bother, it's pretty obvious that authority gets away with murder, and last time I checked, there are zero gun-packing extremists marching in protest over their supposedly "liberal policy" deadly force perpetrating police departments.

    In fact, they're most likely applauding the very liberal interpretation of their local law enforcement's deadly force policies, because if they actually held their police departments to a "conservative method" of deadly force policy, I'm almost certain at least one of those police officers would be convicted of at the very least, abuse of authority, maybe they still get away with murder, but at least with a conservative reading of deadly force policies, maybe the local authorities send a message that you better treat all lives the same if you're in uniform, would they be so quick to shoot an unarmed white person.....

    But, liberals are mostly violent and conservatives love peace.

    Conservatives want guns for hunting and for their own protection

    from liberals and terrorists.

    No, statistics show that convicted felons were registered Democrats by up to a six to one ratio.

    http://washingtonexaminer.com/jail-survey-7-in-10-...

    Jail survey: 7 in 10 felons register as Democrats

    JANUARY 1, 2014

    'professors from the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University... found that in some states, felons register Democratic by more than six-to-one. In New York, for example, 61.5 percent of convicts are Democrats, just 9 percent Republican. They also cited a study that found 73 percent of convicts who turn out for presidential elections would vote Democrat... Most are young black males...'

    It's Time to Let Felons Vote, Holder Says

    February 11th 2014

    '"Nearly one in 13 African-American adults are banned from voting because of these laws. In three states -- Florida, Kentucky, and Virginia -- that ratio climbs to one in five," he said.

    'Holder called the laws a vestige of post-Civil War racial discrimination, with a disproportionately high impact on minority communities.'
