Well yeah. If you care about your health you will stay out of Memphis.

Just look to Mayor Daley to see how this works out for crime stats.

A few years ago I had to bring one of my kids to the ER at the local hospital. Turns out she had a UTI. So the admitting nurse is asking me a bunch of questions off a list. Then she gets to this one: "Do you have any guns in the home?"
"What?" I asked.
"Do you have any guns in the home?"
"What does that have to do with my daughter's temperature?"
"We have to ask it."
"And I won't answer it. None of your business."
To her credit she just shrugged and moved on. Suddenly everything's a health issue.

Mr. A.C. Wharton, what is the primary racial makeup of the criminals that use guns that rob and murder the citizens of Memphis? What was it like 15 years ago? What is the difference between then and now?

Here’s what I envision:
Nurse: “Do you have any guns in the home?”
Me: “How often do you have sex?”
Nurse: “WHAT?”
Me: “Well, since you’re asking questions that are entirely none of your business, I thought you wouldn’t mind answering the same kind of questions.”

Okay, but you try asking that one on your own time. Whenever you bring a kid to the ER it’s like being in front of judge, jury and executioner.

No Mr Moronic Mayor...
The problem is that you have too many murderers running around.
What you need to do is tell the law abiding citizens you need a little help shooting these murderers.
They can pretty much be identified by the falling down pants, backwards cap, weird hand gestures, foul language and aggressive behavior.
If one of these cretins comes near you and threatens your safety with a gun...shoot to kill.

Straight from the democratic talking points list.
Wharton, who’s been in office a month, said it boils down to a health care problem.

It boils down to a health care problem? More liberal insanity. And he wonders why they have problems. Scary.

They should trying banning GANGS.
Memphis has a GANG problem, NOT a “gun problem.”

The CEO of the county government, as opposed to the city government.

His ‘gun violence’ problem would be resolved by the passage and enforcement of strict scum control laws.

The largest percentage of murders are committed with bare hands - no weapons.
The #1 murder weapon in America, more often than a gun, is a screwdriver.
They have to first take away our hands, then our screwdrivers, before they take away the damn guns.

Why is gun ownership and smoking a health care issue and homosexuality is not. People die a lot sooner and sicker of the latter than the former.
