Why the "gun control is crime control" argument is falling flat

Democrats desperate to prove they can be tough on crime are instead pointing in many cases to laws that are aimed squarely at responsible gun owners hoping to exercise their Second Amendment rights; a midterm strategy that so far doesn’t appear to be paying off for the left.

On today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co we’re honing in on the “gun control is crime control” argument that Democrats are trotting out from Washington State to New York, using a new piece by Daily Beast writer Melissa DeRosa as our jumping off point.

DeRosa at least recognizes that concerns about crime are real, as are the increasing rates of violence in many U.S. cities. But instead of encouraging Democrats to focus like a laser on the actual perpetrators of those crimes, she’s still encouraging the left to make the case that gun control is a crime-fighting measure instead of the crime creator that it is.
