“Gun Crime” is a Made Up Word from the Anti-Gun World, Here are the Real Numbers



USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- When we talk about firearms,there is a LOT of misinformation and … outright lies told by the gun grabbing left.

For the left gun control is a means to an end, a way to gain power. Not to save lives. This is one of the reasons their programs fail. They don’t want to stop shootings but use them to retain power.

Here are the facts they choose to ignore. Facts YOU can use.

There are approximately 120,000,000 gun owners in the US. We are the majority of voting adults.

53% of all shootings are by black men under 30. So, 3% of the US population does more than ½ the killing. 83% of all shootings are gang and drug-related.

Only about 7% of all shootings from a rifle or shotgun and less than 40% of that 7% involve Modern Sporting Rifles.

The U.S. ranks 11th in mass shootings for industrialized nations. 50% of the counties in the US will not have a murder within their boundary. 2% of the counties had 53% of all the murders in the U.S.

Both Japan and Korea have much higher suicide rates than the US. Both nations virtually ban private gun ownership. 75% of all gun deaths are attributed to suicide. Guns are not the cause, just the means.

An Obama administration study showed guns are used over 500,000 time a year to save a life or prevent crime or assault.

U.S. Numbers

  • Total Number of gun deaths: 38,000
  • Suicides: 28,500
  • Gang and Drug: 7,885
  • Remaining: 1,615

If not for gangs and drugs, the number of murders by guns is below 1,700 in a country of 330,000,000 people. Remove the gangs and drugs, and the US is one of the SAFEST countries in the world.

So fellow firearms owners – here are facts – the REAL facts

You’re reading this online, so share it. SHIFT the paradigm. For the left to face the reality that gun ownership is not the cause of violence. It is the left’s failed social programs of welfare that destroys families, and open borders that bring in opioids that destroys lives, that are the real cause of gun deaths.

Use these facts, fight for our rights with EDUCATION and the TRUTH!

We have a country to save.

Oh, where did I get these facts? The FBI unified crime report. They’re all there for ANYONE to see.

Amazon bans book on the health dangers of homosexual lifestyle


Amazon bans book on the health dangers of homosexual lifestyle. 

In banning this book for reasons of political correctness, Amazon is sentencing gay men to a life of hell.

By John Blair Lynn
(ex-gay living in Washington DC)
(henrymakow.com)

On July 17, 2020, Amazon suddenly banned "The Health Hazards of Homosexuality: What the Medical and Psychlogical Research Reveals" published by Mass Resistance a leading international pro-family organization headquarter in Waltham, MA.
The book had appeared on Amazon for 3 1/2 years and was suddenly removed after repeated complaints by gay activists who found the book offensive and hateful. At an impressive 597 pages, it brought together information from the Federal Center for Disease Control, major medical professional groups, research journals, media reports, peer-reviewed medical journals, and other mainstream medical sources, as well as LGBT medical and advocacy groups - all documented in 1,800 endnotes.  

Endorsed by prominent medical officials it is the single most comprehensive collection of scientific data from authoritative scientific sources on the topic of LGBT health. 

Mass Resistance has been approached by people in Hong Kong who want to re-publish it in Chinese and in Egypt who want to re-publish it in Arabic.
 
Gays and lesbians suffer from a variety of both physical and mental health problems as a result of their promiscuous lifestyle, averaging from 3 to 4 times the number of sexual partners as heterosexuals. Over 39% of gays and lesbians reported having a mental illness in the previous year.  Originally classified as a mental illness itself, just last week a court in China reclassified homosexuality in that country as mental disorder.  Homosexuality is also listed as a mental disorder in Indonesia.

In particular, anal sodomy damages to the body. It leads to fecal incontinence in both men and women who practice it. Dr. Stephen Goldstone in his book, "Ins and Outs of Gay Sex"  warns that some fecal seepage is normal after receptive anal sex. 

25% of gay men report at least isolated episodes of fecal incontinence and advises them to wear menstrual pads and cotton balls to prevent rectal leakage from soiling their clothes.  Gay men also have a problem with anal fissures from engaging in anal sex. Not all gay men engage in anal sodomy, but the vast majority do.  I personally have never engaged in any type of anal sex.

Study: Young White Liberals More Likely to Have Mental Health Problems


Evie magazine unpacked analysis of a Pew Research Center survey published last year, and subsequently arrived at the compelling possibility that science is telling us left-wing ideology and mental illness are correlated.

Andrew Stiles at the Washington Free Beacon drew attention Monday to the Evie magazine piece, publish

ed last week, showing the March 2020 Pew Research data revealed white liberals are more likely than other ideological/racial groups to have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder.

With a focus on younger women’s health and relationship issues, Evie’s Elizabeth Condra noted that over 50 percent of white, liberal women under 30 have been diagnosed with a mental health condition at some point.

“Are we worried yet?” she asked, weighing that while conservatives may label left-wingers as “snowflakes” or having been afflicted with “Trump derangement syndrome,” and the left identifies those on the right as “racists, bigots, misogynists, etc.,” the Pew Research data is something to consider seriously.

Condra explained:

[W]hat if what was once a cheap shot or a personal insult has actually been found to bear scientific correlation between the individuals who hold progressive ideologies and an increased risk of mental illness? That’s exactly what Pew Research has found — and all politics aside, the shocking diagnosis of over 50% of liberal women with some form of mental health medical diagnosis is a public health concern that no one seems to be discussing, let alone taking seriously.

In a thread in April 2020, doctoral candidate Zach Goldberg analyzed the Pew Research data that focused at the time on the effects of the coronavirus pandemic as it had just become a harsh reality in America.

The entire survey of 11,537 U.S. adults was conducted March 19-24, 2020, using the Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel. Wave 64 of the study dealt with mental health issues.

Goldberg first observed the Pew data showed “white (and especially ‘very’) liberals are far more likely than all other ideological-racial subgroups to report being diagnosed with a mental health condition.”

He continued:

Overall, and with one exception (white moderates), those in 18-29 age group are more likely to report being diagnosed with a mental health condition. The differences among white liberals, though, are striking: almost half of white liberals in this cohort report a diagnosis.

When sex and age were factors, 56.3 percent of white women between the ages of 18 and 29 and who labeled themselves as “liberal,” said they had been given a mental health diagnosis, compared to 27.3 percent of conservatives in the same categories and 28.4 percent of moderates:

After considering some of the coronavirus factors as well, Goldberg noted that “at least some of the differences in the covid-mental health battery between white liberals and others are accounted for by the former’s higher likelihood of being diagnosed with a mental health condition”:

“It’s possible that the disparities in self-reported diagnosis are simply or partly a function of white liberals being more likely to seek mental health evaluations,” he surmised. “I don’t have the data to answer this question. But given that they also tend to score higher on neuroticism (and, not to mention, score lower on life satisfaction/happiness), I think at least some of this difference is genuine”:

Finally, Goldberg noted his motivation for his analysis as well:

I didn’t write this thread to mock white liberals or their apparently disproportionate rates of mental illness (and you shouldn’t either). Rather, this is a question that’s underexplored and which may shed light on attitudinal differences towards various social policies.

Goldberg more recently observed other data that show white liberal support for increasing immigration levels is up to about 62.5 percent, an increase from nearly 36 percent in 2016:

Interpreting the data, Condra noted that progressivism appears to demand “unrelenting focus on oppression, verbal violence, and micro-aggressions.”

“We know that building resiliency against hardship is the best weapon against depression and anxiety, yet progressive ideology forces its followers to wallow in feelings of helplessness and victimhood,” she observed. “Instead of empowering women and minorities with self-knowledge, strength of character, and resilience to hardship, progressivism encourages victims to stay in a place of fear and helplessness."

How to nail the dreaded “tell me about yourself” interview question

“Tell me about yourself,” the interviewer asks as he makes notes, pauses, and looks up.  “I uhhh…” (and your mind goes blank)

While seemingly easy, this question is ambiguous at best. And with reason. You see, the interviewer wants to get into the very reason you’re sitting in that chair in the first place.

But before they get to know your “why,” it’s important that you know their “why” first. 

Why interviewers ask “tell me about yourself” 

While interviewers ask this question because they have an opportunity to steer the direction of the interview, they also want to know what’s your secret sauce. 

Ramit puts it this way, “Tell me why I should hire you over 30 other candidates.”

This is your opportunity to tell your story, and no, this is not where you pull out the, “I was born and raised in Kentucky.” Stop. 

How to answer ‘tell me about yourself’ in 5 steps

Now that you understand why interviewers ask you to tell them about yourself despite having a copy of that $20-a-page resume, it’s easier to dig in. 

Step 1: Do your research 

Your job in answering this question starts long before the actual interview meeting takes place. It starts with a bit of research into both the role and the culture of the business that you’re hoping to join. If you really want to be prepared, do some research on the interviewer too. There is a lot to be learned from a LinkedIn profile or social media. 

Step 2: Formulate an answer that will tick a few boxes 

If an interviewer leads with “tell me about yourself,” you can tick a few boxes by choosing a few functions that you perform in your professional and private life that will support their brand. For instance, if you’re counting beans at a corporate bigwig and you also happen to be the treasurer of your kid’s soccer team, this might appeal to a firm looking for a financial manager. 

Step 3: Show them that you’re relevant 

Ever bump into an old high-school friend and he’s still wearing that same hairstyle, jeans, and long-shirt-under-short-shirt combo, but he’s complaining that he’s stuck in his career? You’re itching to tell him that’s because he’s still stuck in 1984.

Your interviewer feels the same when the most relevant contribution you have to this role happened a gazillion years ago. Instead, line up your story to include information that punches the heck out of the interview and showcases your experience, skills, abilities, and aptitude best for that particular role. 

Step 4: Put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes 

As Ramit shows us, pitting the college kid against the salted MBA candidate doesn’t necessarily guarantee an ending in favor of the MBA candidate. We know this because Ramit has landed job offers from top companies such as Google and Intuit by using an interview strategy. 

But it goes deeper than that. You still want this interviewer writing down a magic number at the end that will make it worth your while, don’t you? 

So you do the only thing that will guarantee the interviewer to choke on that lukewarm cup of coffee. You hit him with The Briefcase Technique, where you reveal your secret weapon: problem-solving. Ramit explains the technique as identifying a problem the company might have, and how you can help them solve it. 

Step 5: Be professional 

While it might seem endearing to tell the interviewer about your viral video of some neighborhood brawl that took place last Sunday, it might not actually do you any good. In fact, unless you’re interviewing for a position that entails viral videos, this is almost certainly a no-go. 

Instead, keep it professional and stay on topic, unless the interviewer expands questioning into more personal or fun topics. Even then, keep it clean. 

“Tell me about yourself” might not be as straightforward as that 

While this is a standard question that pops up in any interview, there are variants of the question. 

  • Tell me about your work experience? 
  • How do you see your current experience adding value to this role? 
  • Walk me through your time at your company

What’s important to know, is that all interviewers want the same thing. They want to know how your history and experience can add value to their team. Plus, they’re sussing out whether they actually like you. 

Formulate your answers to suit the job position and interview style 

Don’t punt Burger King when you’re applying at McDonald’s. 

In the same vein, you’d want to highlight aspects of your work and life experience that will complement the role you’re applying for. 

Similarly, it’s essential to read the interview. While you might just land the dream interviewer that encourages flow and openness, it’s also very possible to catch Chris on a Wednesday morning after Taco Tuesday. Keep it succinct and on topic. 

A few winning “tell me about yourself” answers

  • No problem! I’m the head burger flipper and have held that position for three years. My main job functions include quality control and timing to ensure the patties are perfect every time. Before this role, I was an animal rights activist for the rights of pet snails until the bill was passed. I’m looking to further my career by finishing my management diploma, which is why I applied for this position. I really like the opportunity for growth within your organization. 
  • Happy to! I’ve been an executive PA for the last two years, but find my strongest skill set is in event organizing. I’ve completed a few courses to perfect this aspect of my job. Your company has been a great help in arranging many of our corporate events, and I love working with your brand. 

While it’s important that you showcase the best attributes to land that dream job, it helps to remember that this is your chance to interview your future employer. 

Take notes and ask questions to ensure that you’re just as charmed by your potential future team as you’d want them to be with you. 

To land even the toughest interview, it’s worth learning from one of the frontrunners.  Enter your information below to unlock an exclusive video where Ramit shows you how to master the art of interviewing.
