Los Angeles crimes have seeped into the wealthiest of neighborhoods, rocking residents and being compared to dystopian movie franchise "The Purge." Residents have flocked to the city’s only gun store in response, arming themselves as a last-ditch effort for protection even though the city has a long track record of supporting liberal policies and gun control. "Although that is a part of my living, I get no pleasure whatsoever by having a 60-, 70-year-old woman walk into my store … who looks terrified, and say, ‘I have never liked guns. In fact, I've even hated guns. I would have never considered buying one.

Where's the outrage from BLM?

I can see what is coming. The LA mayor will hand out free guns to blacks because it is only "fair" that everyone is armed.

"Black LA residents lack access to guns as wealthy rush to buy firearms amid crime wave" Aren't black thugs with guns committing the crimes?

I read Lucianne daily for my dose of " I thought I've seen everything". Blacks can't get guns in a very restrictive state.

That's a good idea #2. If they follow the pattern they could stop black crime by the criminals taking out each other.

I guess all those guns meant for L.A. are going to Chicago and Baltimore because blacks in those cities don't seem to have a problem getting a gun and ammo.

Clearly not true. As #3 points out, the ROOT CAUSE of the crime is crimes committed with guns, and history has shown that from 65% to 85% of these crimes are done by black people. So, they have PLENTY of access to guns, clearly.

To be honest, this gun store has been allowed to exist for two reasons. One is it is for the rich who will make appointments to come in and purchase their guns, and two, the rich have never really wanted to buy guns in the past. That is now changing, and I am sure the store will be shut down as soon as enough wealthy folks have their weapons.

-There are many gun stores in LA and in surrounding cities, probably hundreds. There is however only one in Beverly Hills which is a postage stamp compared to the LA area. - Guns are not racists but gun control laws are racist. - In general the guns being used in crimes are not legally owned, probably stolen. - The people (White, Black, Hispanic, Asian etc) doing the crimes are a tiny percentage of the population still everyone including Blacks should be able to protect themselves but it not legally possible due to CA gun laws.

In my old city during the fifties and sixties, the only people who had hand guns were retired policemen for obvious reasons. When the floodgates were opened to Jamaican criminals (thanks Trudeau and Manly) suddenly crimes were committed with guns. We had never before seen anything like it. If I was still living there I would carry.

The biggest goal of democrat gun control is and always was to keep guns out of the hands of blacks, regardless of criminal history. Maybe I'll take a few dozen of my old beaters to CA and beef up my retirement accounts. Free men own guns. Slaves cant.

It is actually reversed. Illegal guns are relatively easy to buy in the hood. If you figure out how to deal with a criminal so you don't end up with no money, no gun and maybe no life. The smug liberals who are now trying to arm up can learn first hand all about the reams of gun control laws they thought were so cool. Wanting a handgun in CA and actually owning a handgun are too very different things. Carrying that handgun outside their house is another level of forms and qualifications. It is reality meets sanctimonious blather.

Recently, Ted Cruz made an appearance on talk show, “The View”, to discuss the economy and the values of the Republican Party. “The View” has been known for their left-of-center takes over the past few years, advocating for liberal ideas while critiquing conservatives and their values. So, it was interesting to see them bring on Ted Cruz to hear his thoughts. The best part of the interview was when tension culminated over discussing January 6th, only for Sen. Cruz to unapologetically call out the left’s hypocrisy.

Suddenly, though, as Donald Trump became president and attracted all kinds of people to his camp (“What do you have to lose” – remember?) it was becoming harder to ignore certain folks.

Former President Donald Trump has been having some serious sit-down meetings with some significant national leaders, and it's annoying the Biden administration. These kinds of meetings aren't all that unusual during presidential elections, but as usual, Donald Trump is doing this his way: In less than two months, Trump has hosted Polish President Andrzej Duda, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso and David Cameron, the former British prime minister who now serves as the U.K.’s foreign secretary. He’s also talked with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and others by phone. It’s not unusual for a party nominee to meet with foreign officials —

The CBS report continues, “The plans would require coordination with Egypt, which has so far refused to welcome large numbers of people from Gaza.

Five West Virginia middle-school track athletes who protested the participation of a transgender student in a recent competition have been barred from future meets and are now engaged in a legal battle with their school district that could end up at the Supreme Court. On April 18, during the 2024 Harrison County Middle School Championships, the student athletes — all girls — made local headlines by stepping out of the shot-put circle, choosing to forfeit rather than compete against a 13-year-old transgender female. The silent protest came after a federal appeals court struck down part of West Virginia's transgender sports ban, allowing the 13-year-old in question to compete

New York— Even as many Americans say they learn about the 2024 election campaign from national news outlets, a disquieting poll reveals some serious trust issues. About half of Americans, 53%, say they are extremely or very concerned that news organizations will report inaccuracies or misinformation during the election.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel earlier this week, speaking loudly and waving a small stick. While Blinken ostensibly represents America's national interests abroad, his job in Israel is all about Presidentish Joe Biden's reelection bid — and how Israeli's defensive military actions in the Gaza Strip are complicating things for Biden at home. Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in hopes, once more, of getting a temporary ceasefire with Hamas. A truce would "give us something to build on," Blinken said. Who is this "us," Kemosabe, and what are we trying to build? Hamas has rejected every offer for a ceasefire
