# Gun Confiscation Promises, Criminal Release Policies, & the Myth of ‘Random’ Violence
In an era where politicians wield words like weapons, the term random violence has become a sleight-of-hand trick to downplay the predictable chaos of failed policies. As the source text nails it, random is code for nothing to see here, folks—certainly not the revolving door of criminal justice reform or the endless push for gun grabs. Take California’s Proposition 47 or New York’s bail reform experiments: these aren’t abstract theories; they’ve flooded streets with repeat offenders, turning random shootings into statistical inevitabilities. Data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports shows violent crime spikes in sanctuary cities with soft-on-crime stances—homicides up 30% in some spots post-reform—while gun confiscation schemes like red flag laws strip law-abiding citizens of their primary defense. Politicians promise safety through disarming the good guys, yet the real randomness is pretending criminals obey laws they ignore anyway.
This myth isn’t just sloppy language; it’s a calculated narrative to erode Second Amendment rights. When a random mass shooting hits the news (often perpetrated by individuals with lengthy rap sheets released early), the knee-jerk response is more confiscation—think ATF’s pistol brace bans or Biden’s ghost gun hysteria—while ignoring the 500,000+ defensive gun uses annually per CDC estimates. The implications for the 2A community are stark: every invocation of random violence shifts blame from policy failures to your AR-15, priming the pump for executive orders and judicial overreach. We’ve seen it in New Zealand’s post-Christchurch gun ban or Australia’s 1996 confiscation, where crime didn’t vanish—suicides dropped temporarily, but burglaries and assaults surged. Here in the States, states like Illinois with assault weapon bans report no crime drop, per their own stats, proving the emperor has no clothes.
Gun owners, wake up: Dismantling the random myth arms us with truth. Demand accountability for criminal release policies that weaponize the streets, not your rights. Stock up on ammo, support pro-2A lawsuits like those challenging ATF rulez, and vote out the word wizards. The Second Amendment isn’t a suggestion—it’s the ultimate check against manufactured randomness. Stay vigilant; our founders didn’t bleed for euphemisms.
