That is, he admitted that the majority of violence is attributable to repeat offenders and gangs.  A fact that is well documented by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-study-80-of-firearm-homicide-victims-have-an-arrest-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ag-garland-says-quiet-part-out-loud\" title=\"AG Garland Says Quiet Part Out Loud!\">research and data<\/a>.  But something that the anti-gunners have been loath to acknowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-new-study-80-of-firearm-homicide-victims-have-an-arrest-record\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-study-80-of-firearm-homicide-victims-have-an-arrest-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ag-garland-says-quiet-part-out-loud\" title=\"AG Garland Says Quiet Part Out Loud!\">New Study: 80% of Firearm Homicide Victims Have An Arrest Record<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are working to honor the victims and survivors of gun violence by pursuing justice on their behalf and by holding the individual perpetrators of gun violence accountable for their crimes,&#8221; said Garland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are using our prosecutorial and technological tools to identify the <strong><em>repeat offenders and gangs who are principally responsible <\/em><\/strong>for community violence,&#8221; he continued (<em><strong>emphasis<\/strong><\/em> added). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow!  This is a big admission.  After all, the first step to solving societal violence is correctly identifying the causes.  The next step, of course, is implementing workable solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scapegoating\">Scapegoating <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Garland appears to have the first part down, but as Braden pointed out, what Biden&#8217;s DOJ has been doing over the past three years is not only not getting the job done, it&#8217;s wrongfully targeting law-abiding gun owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You just said, as the Department of Justice&#8217;s head, the Attorney General of the United States of America, the same guy who has signed off on letters from the ATF changing the rules completely for pistol braces, ghost gun regulations, who is and is not a dealer, if you sell something that&#8217;s your property, and you just had the balls to say at some gun violence survivor summit that you&#8217;ve known the whole time it was the repeat offenders and the gangs that do the principal amount of violence,&#8221; exclaimed Braden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hey, here&#8217;s a weird thought, lay off of us and maybe focus on the gangbangers,&#8221; he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happened-to-operation-thor\">What Happened to Operation Thor? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Garland also spoke about initiatives like deploying strike forces and cracking down on illegal gun trafficking. Yet, Braden correctly accused him of hypocrisy, noting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/grassley-biden-admin-ending-project-thor\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ag-garland-says-quiet-part-out-loud\" title=\"AG Garland Says Quiet Part Out Loud!\">cancellation of Operation Thor<\/a>, a program aimed at tracing illicit firearm movements, under Garland&#8217;s watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-fireworks-sen-kennedy-grills-ag-garland-on-gun-control-hunter-biden\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/fireworks-sen-kennedy-grills-ag-garland-on-gun-control-hunter-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ag-garland-says-quiet-part-out-loud\" title=\"AG Garland Says Quiet Part Out Loud!\">Fireworks! Sen. Kennedy Grills AG Garland on Gun Control, Hunter Biden<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This whole little thing of we&#8217;re getting really tough and we&#8217;re going to figure out the illicit movements and the tracking of straw purchasers is a lie,&#8221; Braden asserted.  He underscored the fact that the gov&#8217;t has still not explained why it deliberately nixed the program.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Garland&#8217;s mention of &#8220;Community gun violence&#8221; as a new focus raised eyebrows, with Braden criticizing what he sees as a rebranding of crime. He accused the administration of manipulating terminology to shape public perception of societal violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Garland&#8217;s recent comments at the summit shine a light on a glaring issue: while the nation&#8217;s top lawdog acknowledges the real culprits of gun violence, his actions continuously veer off target, hassling law-abiding gun owners instead of the repeat offenders and gangs he knows are the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The country deserves straightforward solutions that tackle these true sources of violence without giving the average gun owner a hard time. Also, more honesty about why certain promising programs get axed wouldn&#8217;t hurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be great to see some real action that aligns with the talk; maybe then we\u2019ll start seeing genuine progress. Anyway, check out Garland\u2019s speech and drop your thoughts in the comments section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WATCH LIVE: Attorney General Garland speaks at inaugural Gun Violence Survivors\u2019 Summit\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oOMXNTGA-uI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ag-garland-says-quiet-part-out-loud\" title=\"AG Garland Says Quiet Part Out Loud!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Braden, the host of Langley Outdoors Academy, gave an incisive rundown of the AG&#8217;s statements in a video (see above) on Tuesday.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":201449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,25,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-201441","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>AG Garland Says Quiet Part Out Loud!<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland discusses gun violence causes at a summit.
