Republican Senator Chuck Grassley wrote a letter to Joe Biden advising the President and his Democrat allies to take the issue of crime seriously.

In the letter Grassley said “It is disturbing to see Democrats refuse to take responsibility for the rising crime rate and find other people to blame, such as lawful firearms owners.

As reported in Ammoland: 

With a well-earned reputation for doggedly pursuing facts, Grassley also notes in his letter, “The Administration’s focus on ghost guns places rhetoric over fact in combating the violent crime surge…” “Originally,” the senator recalls, “the Administration attempted to impress on the public the significance of ghost guns by using the number of 325 homicides or attempted homicides connected to ghost guns that were recovered by the ATF between 2016 and 2020. According to the FBI, there were 89,076 homicides in that time, to say nothing of the number of attempted murders. Therefore, less than 0.36% of homicides involved ghost guns. Now the White House has put forward have this 20,000 figure, which (1) does not distinguish between suspected and actual “ghost guns,” (2) does not explain whether the number refers to privately made firearms or includes others, for example guns with damaged or removed serial numbers, and (3) sets no context for the overall firearms seized, or how many crimes were committed using an actual privately made firearm. This is merely another attempt to use misleading statistics that lack context to rally support for failing Democrat policies.”

Grassley is the longest-serving U.S. Senator in Iowa history, so he knows a few things about the blame game. He is running for re-election this fall.

“I am…concerned,” he writes, “about the unprecedented 30% spike in murders that began as blue cities pulled their police forces off the streets in the summer of 2020. Democrats have recently attempted to shift the blame for the rise in violence in blue cities to not only lawful gun owners, but also conservative states. However, the data from 2020 shows that it is actually the Democrat-led cities within red states that are causing dramatic per capita murder rates.”

Biden came into office in 2021 with a sweeping gun control and prohibition agenda that included permanent renewal of the ban on so-called “assault weapons,” “universal background checks,” limits on the number of firearms one could purchase, licensing and registration. Grassley has been one of the people on Capitol Hill standing in Biden’s way.

Ammoland goes on to point out in their article that the mainstream media is not covering Grassley’s letter. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention over the past few years, despite the growing support for the 2nd Amendment the mainstream media and big tech are both totally in bed with the gun grabber lobby.
