Prosecuters from across the country form coalition to excuse all forms of violence except those committed with a firearms. Is this the new MAIGots iteration? DAAIGos.

[thorvaldr]

Great they have a coalition to stop violent crime because before now I guess that’s NOT what they were doing.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

The prosecutors from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, Houston and Milwaukee will join together to cut down on gang violence using guns...

ROFLMAO

[MeshugeMikey]

SADLY they did not choose to use the exact wording as was evidenced in this finr article; "

“Anti Gun Violence Coalition”,

One could have some FUN with the Anti-Gun / Violence Coalition,,name

[circlecity]

Based on the article, it could just as easily been called an “Anti Gang Violence Coalition” but they want to demonize firearms more than they want to demonize gangs.

[tomkat]

Yet another self-congratulatory circle jerk.

[Paine in the Neck]

The prosecutors from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, Houston and Milwaukee will join together to cut down on gang violence using guns, domestic violence involving firearms and the mentally ill accessing firearms.

This will be accomplished by targeting law-abiding citizens who happen to be gun owners.

They're okay with violent crime involving "Knives or cutting instruments", 'clubs, hammers, etc", "hands, fists, feet, etc.", Poison, Explosives, Fire, Narcotics, Drowning, Strangulation, and Asphyxiation? Why not just want to fight "violent crime" in general??????

(Since residents of their cities have much lower firearm ownership rates than the surrounding suburban and rural areas, maybe it's some other variable that's responsible for the problem? Oh, but their voters might get hurty feelers if we talked about that.)

How many dollars did they obtain for themselves in the formation of this group? How many conferences will they hold to end gun violence this winter in Vegas, the Bahamas, or Puerto Rico? Next summer in Bangor Maine, Portland Oregon, or Martha's Vineyard?

These hacks are sooooo predictable.

[grumpygresh]

But, I’m sure that they are still happy with the increase in SWAT raids, and various 4th amendment violations.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Maybe a little more research into why this coalition was formed and who is behind it is in order…

A wise move. Just because they are "prosecutors" doesn't guarantee that these people can be trusted. Prosecutors are bureaucrats and political animals first.

[tumblindice]

But no one’s doing anything about pudding cups, and Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell aren’t getting any thinner.

[BitWielder1]

These Prosecutors want more people to prosecute.

The obvious problem with barring the "mentally ill" is when they lower the bar for what constitutes mental illness.
Are you afraid someone will break into your apartment?
You must be paranoid. No gun for you.

Dang guns walk out at night and randomly shoot people - they've grown feet...

There's no violent black gangs pulling the triggers. No South side Chicago Slaughters... It's not criminals. It's not thugs. Guns have become mindless robots - killing machines.../s

[Monorprise]

if Gangs don’t kill with guns they will do so with bombs, knifes, and crosbows.

Gangs are at war with each other and guns are just a tool not a problem.
