maybe some nuclear weapons. you talk to men and women who served our country overseas they want to own certain guns because they feel comfortable with those rifles or those guns. those are the firearms they choose to have in their house. they re not walking around with their finger on the trigger. brian: at a time when the crime is running crazy you want to disarm the public. he knows better. ainsley: that s why gun sales are through the roof. brian: buying more as we speak. ainsley: right. steve: to the point of why is he singling out guns and not the criminals? take a look. these are crimes that are not necessarily involving guns. hate crimes in new york city up 116%. involving guns, do guns involve pickpocketing in austin up 117%? carjackings in oakland up 95%. rape is up 83% in atlanta. and in new orleans, auto theft up, you know, 21%.
