The government to the rescue to stop "gun violence" in Providence, Rhode Island. Sigh - if we only had more government programs to stop violence (sarcasm). More government, more conferences, more money, more talk. They must use the same playbook as Chicago! Better call in the National Guard.

And if you look at the pictures at the bottom, Michael Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety was there reassuring us that the government can protect us from violent criminals.

Of course, none of the proposed solutions deals directly with disarming criminals or provides any practical means of self-defense. Most of those people will never understand why things never change while they continue waiting for someone else to solve the problem of violence for them. That is what really makes me feel sad for those folks.

How about my 2-point plan?

1. Marriage

2. Goodbye rap music

Finito.

Providence NAACP says government will stop “gun violence”.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Midnight basketball makes its return...

1. Vote Republican

2. Have fathers

3. Shoot thugs

[tumblindice]

WE need a `Call to Action,’ some kind of federal program!

We’re always reading here about Chicago shootings: `25 shot, one killed; 34 shot, 2 dead.’
I’m thinking some range time for inner city, licensed gun owners might be a good idea.
Free ammo, coaching, targets, etc. Feel me?

[Rhode Island NAACP president] Vincent also wants 15% of the Google settlement money. This would provide about $30 million

"How did you meet the Kingfish, Mr. Brown?"

"Well, one day at the carnival, I reached into my pocket to get my wallet, and shook hands with the Kingfish."

The first point should be to shut down racebaiting groups who are out there stirring the race pot all of the time to keep the big bucks coming in.

At the same time, these proposals are targeting some of the causes of violence instead of just calling for more useless gun control. I was actually surprised that not a single one of their proposals had anything to do with guns.

Will these measures solve the problem? No. Is there more they could do? Absolutely. They could provide firearms training to citizens to allow them to protect themselves. They could bring in the non-profit organization (the name escapes me) that's been providing free training and free shotguns to inner city women in Texas. Any of those things would help the people to protect themselves from the violence around them. But their proposals might help.

“Vincent also wants 15% of the Google settlement money. This would provide about $30 million”

In all my years watching these people I have never seen a single time when they proposed a “solution” that did not entail them being given money that they did not earn or deserve and were not entitled to in any way.

But whatever you do, don’t look at the DemocRat plan to destroy the black family by trapping them out of wedlock and on the government dole.

[buffaloguy]

1. Shall issue ccw
2. Stop listening to rap
3. Stop and frisk in tough neighborhoods
4. Get married

[Sgt_Schultze]

Only one step is needed . . .
1. Disarm democrat voters/supporters

There aren’t five points. There’s only one:

Charge the NAACP under the RICO Act.

[ThunderSleeps]

So let's see, the NAACP wants:

1. A boondogle "leadership conference" that will have no real impact on violence or crime.
2. Blow money on workforce development which is useless unless there are actually jobs for people to do. Hey, I can train you to be a typewriter repairman, not going to be real useful...
3. Have one government group evaluate the effectiveness of another government group. Oh yeah, that'll help. Note, just evaluate, not offer recommendations or even, gasp, make changes...
4. Oh, yeah, send $30 million to me to play with.
5. Pay some one or more people to be a liaison between high crime neighborhoods and the police. Pay the criminals directly.

No surprise, no useful suggestions at all.

I am a little dubious of the reporting on this. I may have missed it, but I did not see anywhere that the NCCLCP or the politicians called for the disarming of honest law abiding people.

Well, to be honest I also did not see where they called for the disarming of the dishonest and lawbreaking people either.
But this being New England, I would think circumventing the Second Amendment would be a least 1 thru 4 on their list of five points.

[backwoods-engineer]

five point plan to reduce gun violence

Lemme guess: all five involves taking what is mine, what I have a constitutional right to keep and bear.

Hell. No.

[Kickass Conservative]

25% of a certain Demographic that consists of 12% of the total Population is responsible for over 50% of the Violent Crime in this Country.

That boils down to the fact that 3% of the entire Population is responsible for over 50% of the Violent Crime.

Guess who is “represented” by the NAACP...

[Linda Frances]

They sure are worried that there takeover of the US won't work if citizens have guns. He's let out dangerous prisoners out, the 5 terrorist who will have time to regroup and hit the US, he's letting terrorist sneak across the border and using the children to do it. His planned scandals are causing chaos, which is what he wanted. What's left in Alinskys rules?

God help us!
