He was doing pretty good up to this point:
"Its at risk because we have large numbers of high-capacity, quality firearms in the hands of remorseless criminals who dont care who they shoot.
Then he lost it.
It isn't the firearms that commit crimes, it is the thugs. He could have blamed the criminals, but went off on the guns instead, which makes me wonder if his 'solution' isn't to do away with "high-capacity, quality firearms".

High capacity firearms are NOT the problem, I have several as to many of my friends NON of us are using them to commit crime. The CRIMINAL element in his city is the problem and he ENABLING community in which they live.
If he was elected I see him being a “lets take the guns away from the citizens then maybe some day deal with the criminals that still have them..” type but that is a quick read he may not be..

Was he joining the Ferguson crowd?
Sounds like something Al or Jesse might say

I guess he wants more white drive-by killings too, to even things out

He was talking about the huge number of blacks who kill other blacks in their own community, while that same community all but ignores it.
I did not hear him say he was against the law abiding citizens who have FA's. That would be a whole different issue if that's his position.

Chief seemed a bit too emphatic about the "high-capacity, quality firearms" for my personal taste.
He could have very easily just focused his speech on the criminal behaviors of others.

Generally, people say first what matters most.
He phrased it with the firearms described in some detail before bringing up criminals. That tends to indicate he sees the firearms as the problem before the criminals, and if you read enough statements by anti-gunners, they parse things the same way.
YMMV

It would be interesting to know if the quality of firearms used in homicide are increasing over those used, say, 20 years ago, when the homicide rate was much higher.
This could go either way I think.

Did your teachers in school complain about you not paying attention?
Or are you just selective in what you hear or read?
I just copied and pasted what you posted, and it's clear to me what he said.
His point is, seldom are single shots fired by these indiscriminate thugs. They are spraying an area with bullets and many innocent bystanders are hit.

You’re right. He was nailing it and then he lost the plot.

NO not anarchist. I don’t want anyone to think Chief Flynn is a good guy. Chief Flynn has never been good for Milwaukee. He fired the officer who shot the mentally unstable man in Red Arrow Park, after the man grabbed the officers nightstick and beat the officer. His officers don’t like him either. Read up on Chief Flynn. As far as the 5 year old girl who was shot on her grandpa’s lap, that was obvious retaliation. Drug shooting?? Two suspects walked up to the home and opened fire. Doesn’t sound like a random shooting to me.

Flynn is a premier gun-grabber. He even testified in DC about some of the gun-control legislation.
He just had a moment of honesty here but relapsed immediately to politically correct law enforcement.

I believe he was just stating a reality - high powered firearms in the hands of outlaws make them even more dangerous. We can agree there needs to be ways to keep these guns out of the hands of outlaws. He was talking about outlaws, not law abiding citizens. What needs to be done is a hard, fixed, mandatory punishment for crimes committed with a firearm. Unfortunately, the courts today twist the Constitution to invalidate mandatory minimums.

Ya better watch the video again there Joe...
Regarding the question leading up to it, he was first told ya about 80 percent of the homicides and all other crimes are committed by African Americans...

He was talking about and focusing on the massive crime in the black communities while the black community ignored that while focusing on the few cop shooting blacks incidents.
Lets keep what he was saying in context here.
