What Is shown below is a daily occurrence in The Portland Area. 99% of these are GANG related. Not one damned gun law will have any affect on any of them. What would have an effect is abolishment and control of the Gangs and every member that is in them. But they seem to serve a purpose and that is fear in the public which makes them inclined to vote for tax levies for Law enforcement and jails. Instead of actually cracking down hard on the gangs they do things that essentially have zero effects on controlling and stopping any of it. Instead they prop up their gun crime statistics and use that against the 2nd Amendment and the citizens as well. This accounts for most of the false gun stats that the anti's use for the state.
Seriously there is 1 to 2 and sometimes more shootings a night in Portland/Gresham areas every day of the year.and they are predominantly gangs doing the shooting.
The stats the anti gun crowd are deliberately misleading and deceptive.
Sign on to the flash reports for the region and see for yourself. We have been following them for a couple years now.
These are serious and if it keeps up Portland and cities like it will catch up to places like Chicago in criminal activity and murder rate and it has nothing to do with the number of guns in good citizens hands, yet that is who the politicians and MSM attacks.
