How can you argue against the Justice Dept. reinvigorating enforcement of existing gun laws?

That’s what I saw in the article as well. Mostly not new laws, but enforcing the ones we already have. It’s about time.

Because there are thousands of these laws and ALL are unconstitutional, protect no one and will be abused and will wreck peoples lives.

Because most violent crime is not carried out with guns.
Although you could argue that most murders which actually get solved are those in which the perpetrator failed to plan out a more silent method which doesn’t create all the forensic evidence which guns create.

So, since I believe that the proper goal is to educate the public about how to anticipate, prepare for, and survive violence this almost exclusive focus on one little part of criminal violence appears counter productive.

In fact, the only reason I can see to do it at all is to attempt to groom the public to accept disarmament.

So, since I don’t with to see the Trump administration persuing a hard left agenda...Barr needs his chain yanked back hard.

This isn’t federal, but, in this town there is meth all over the place. Or so I am told.

Despite this, the Police seem fine with expending their limited resources on seat-belt campaigns.

I’d like to tell them not even to utter the words “seat belt” until they’ve cleaned up the meth, heroin, and cocaine.

A knife (or a baseball bat) will kill you just as dead as a Desert Eagle. I’d like to tell Barr to focus his attention on the deportation of illegal aliens and the suppression of election fraud.

After all, if we cleaned up election fraud, the demonrats would have trouble getting elected to the post of dogcatcher.

Most of this should be done at the state level. States should be enforcing the law here when citizens commit domestic crimes.
Federal government operates in relative secrecy and that’s why we have so many problems with these agencies.
It’s disgusting that so many purported conservatives reflexively believe in this expansive federal role.
