Chicago's mayor blames the availability of firearms for the deadly gun violence; Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce responds.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Our gun problem is related to
our gun. Problem is related to
the fact that we have too many
illegal guns on our street,
sixty percent of which sixty percent of which come
from states outside of Illinois.
We are being inundated with guns
from states that have virtually
no gun control,
no background checks, no
ban on assault weapons
that hurting cities like
Chicago
PETE, Chicago mayor, Lori,
Lightfoot, deflecting blame for
the gun, violence wrecking her
city
next guest says. Democrats should
blame their own gun, control and
anti police policies
here to explain Fox NEWS,
contributor,
Tammy Bruce
Good Morning, PETE
Pete. Ultimately, the buck stops
with the mayor. She doesnt want
to take responsibility, pointing
fingers at other states
Hemi out with that
Democrats in general dont.
She indicts herself. With that
comment,
the fact of the matter is, if
guns are so freely available
everywhere else. Why is Chicago
the Blood Bath Dystopia health
gate?
Have you got to look at policy?
This is not availability of
firearms
if firearms have available
throughout this nation.
The violence in Chicago PETE
is extraordinary
and the first half of this year,
matched in shootings the most
violent year in twenty years, with
three hundred and twenty nine homicides just up until now,
and were only halfway through
the year.
But Democrats do this
whether she is trying to its
a deflection.
She doesnt want to look at the
fact
former chief told Fox NEWS a few
weeks ago that this is about
policy that was building and a
lack of confidence in being able
to support the police,
so its anti police rhetoric,
sanctuary cities, which these
liberal cities also of course
are,
and that sends a message that
you can be. You know you know
be wanted, be committing a
crime
and, of course, as we know,
PETE the city is the the
communities that are affected
first by
this are communities of color,
so they are condemning
communities of color to lives of
violence, while virtue signaling
to their other democrat
political friends.
I mean this is an abandonment
of the entire community, but
particularly communities of
color,
PETE Tammy. Why cant? They see
that
if you have got law abiding
citizen who cant defend
themselves because of gun
control measures inside the
city,
then have you got police whose
hands have been tied and they
ultimately dont feel. Like
leadership, has their back
and then leadership is taking a
knee with protests.
You add that all up
what does it say to the
criminals there?
Well, first of all, they do
see it
leadership know what is they are
doing,
which is why they are
deflecting
if they really care, they would
say: oh my gosh, our policies. We
need to change our policies like
we would personally,
it exposes the fact that they
know and that they dont care.
We see it in Chicago
in New York,
my God New York is, it is its
own hell Escape
LOS Angeles, Portland Seattle,
we see tall
the biggest problem is the
individuals know the Democrats
know, and now we have to be
honest, is it that they wants
this chaos because they believe
it gives them benefits
politically,
that people give up more power
when they feel that they are
under threat and all the people
in these urban areas,
regardless of your complex, when
you have got to start voting for
alternatives because things are
not getting better because
Democrats, I would argue, dont
want them to
PETE Alternative, taking it
head on whether its family
breakdown or failed schools or
lack of opportunities at large
gang violence,
big things that would take a lot
of political courage to stare
down and easier to point.
