He needs to do something about the illegals instead.

...called them necessary steps in order to curtail violence.

Any excuse to dis-arm the public...............

[LibWhacker]

Stuck on stupid.

[MNJohnnie]

Ah yeah, "curb guns". Boy that is sure going to work when violent felons aren't allowed to own guns in the 1st place.

Don’t look too close at why your Criminal Justice system let a violent felon back out on the streets. Don’t look in the mirror and see the problem. NO, simply manufacture a scapegoat to blame for the failing of the City of Newark, and the State of New Jersey’s, political class.

[goldstategop]

Just target law-abiding gun dealers. But repeal Newark's bone-headed and illegal "sanctuary" policy? Nope - its not in the cards.

[Maigrey]

Maybe they should incarcerate and execute the hardened criminals that are convicted in their courts? Maybe that would assist rather than going after lawful business owners who do check who is purchasing their products?

Ijits....

Newark's Mayor Calls Shooting Immigration Status "Irrelevant"

WNYC NEWSROOM August 14, 2007 —Newark's Mayor, Cory Booker, says he has no plans to change police policy, in the wake of a triple murder where two undocumented immigrants are the prime suspects.

BOOKER: In no way is obligation of city police department to be going around and doing the work of INS.

REPORTER: Booker's director of police, Garry McCarthy, says the immigration status of the suspects is "irrelevant." He also is dismissing reports that the execution-style murders were related to the violent Central American gang, MS-13.

Booker and McCarthy announced today extra video cameras for Newark's high crime neighborhoods. The cameras will be equipped with sensors, to allow them to swivel toward the sound of gunshots.

No, the real issue is gun stores, not leaving murderous scum running loose on the streets.

Whoa - I sleep in on a Saturday and wake to find out that the bill of rights have been repealed. Maybe its just a bad dream!

“The mayor did not explain how police would enforce the gun registry, especially pertaining to stolen guns.”— from the article. In other words, he knows it won’t do a damn thing about criminals, it’s just to harrass law-abiding gun owners.

[hermgem]

Typical for astute politicians to go and blame guns for killing people.
These mayors disregard deteriorating crime rates, their support for a sanctuary city, placement of liberal judges that are at the core of skyrocketing crime rates under their very own noses while in office.
This mayor tries to get relief by blaming guns while throwing smoke into voters faces.

[Alberta's Child]

I don’t expect anyone in Newark to have the b@lls to stand up and admit that the dramatic increase in gun-related crimes in northern New Jersey and New York City in recent years is directly attributable to the elimination of “racial profiling” by the New Jersey State Police on I-95 a few years back.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Very disappointing to read. Booker knows what the problem is, and this is just typical liberal feel-good targets.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You couldn’t pay me to live in New Jersey. Even though our Governor here in WI is a Rat, most of the state is conservative without the crime that’s plaguing other states.

[Coleus]

Coming from the mayor who stated that he wanted to fight the war on crime, only to make newark an illegal immigrant sanctuary city 2 months before the slaughter of the college students.

[Domandred]

The mayor did not explain how police would enforce the gun registry, especially pertaining to guns that were purchased illegally.

"to prevent gun dealers from opening shop in residential neighborhoods or near schools.

Way to go, Mayor Numbnuts! Keep Newark a sanctuary city for child rapists and killers, but crack down on legal gun dealers! That'll do it!

(Typical liberal, with the mind of a six year old.)

Apparently, he wants this to happen again. And again. And again.

Mayor Dunce Booger reminds me a lot of Mayor Dunce Nagin. Can’t our cities elect leaders with brains? Or is it that those with brains don’t want the job?
