None of her ideas would make that much of a difference on inner city crime hack89 Sep 2016 #2
Wrong. Reducing poverty is proven to help. bettyellen Sep 2016 #9
I agree. I was referring to her policies on gun control. hack89 Sep 2016 #11
And community policing, better education and social services as opposed to reducing all that. bettyellen Sep 2016 #12
He's going to do nothing. The gun humpers will not allow it onecaliberal Sep 2016 #3
How bout his nation-wide stop & frisk? Wouldn't that get some guns? Eleanors38 Sep 2016 #7
He wants to give even more power to the police, and he isn't going to put even one regulation onecaliberal Sep 2016 #10
Apparently, take them away from those stopped and frisked. Bet sinkingfeeling Sep 2016 #4

she's just nibbling around the edges of the issue to seem strong while not pissing off too many gun owners.

reducing poverty is definitely called for and she has some excellent ideas.

You know, from the Usual Suspects?

A note:. Part of the functions of slave patrols (and later, the KKK and like organizations) in the South was to search for guns in the homes of, you know, certain citizens.

In Illinois alone, over the last two years the number of Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) cards issued has gone up 400,000. I don't think Chicago gang members applied for them.

Listen to what the people are saying. Put our money were our mouths are. Until people can make a sustainable living,we are going to have issues. Clean out our Police Departments,getting rid of the Rambo's. Making darn sure Social Services are there to help the people whom need it. If you have travel miles to find Services,well you just created another problem. Just some starters that have proven to work in prior years.

If you are "riffing" on tRump, that this is HIS view on the Second, then I am mistaken in attributing to you this outlook, and apologize.

That's exactly what I meant: that's TRUMP's view. Certainly not mine. I'm for sensible gun control, but I would never, ever support a law that makes guns mandatory for ANYONE, and definitely not forbidding guns for any group or race.
