[FoxNews] Biden's 'guns first' approach to violent crime ignores basic facts.
| While violent crime reported to police rose 5% in 2020, you can't blame that increase on guns because gun crimes actually fell by 27%. |
With violent crime increasing over the last two years, Americans want a solution. But President Joe Biden constantly frames violent crime as only a gun problem. Again, it was the sole focus of Biden's speech in New York City on Thursday. Even when he mentions police or prosecutors, it was in terms of enforcing gun control laws.
But this "guns first" approach ignores a basic fact – over 92% of violent crimes in America do not involve firearms. And while Biden blames guns for the increase in violent crime, the latest data show that gun crimes fell dramatically. |
