PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- With mothers of police violence victims on the stage and anti-gun protesters in the streets, Hillary Clinton and Democrats are giving gun control and efforts to curb police violence a starring role at their summer convention.

"They're too easily accessible to everyone, even children. You can go out on the street and get a gun," said Terrez McCleary of Philadelphia, who lost her 21-year-old daughter to gun violence in 2009 and was among a few hundred people held a rally against gun violence Tuesday in Philadelphia's Logan Square.

Going after guns and cops, the last line of defense against the violent criminal element. It is very Soviet of them.

“It is very Soviet of them.”

The Dems are Stalinists, when all is said and done.

The guns the kids are buying on the streets are being illegally sold. More laws won’t stop that, it is already illegal. Duh.

“They’re too easily accessible to everyone, even children. You can go out on the street and get a gun,” said Terrez McCleary of Philadelphia...

That’s because they’re stolen by black criminals and fenced on the street, and 72% of all robberies in the US are committed by blacks. So, why not direct your attention to endemic black criminality as the source of the problem? Huh?

The heck with the street. Most of the guns I find lying in gutters and on sidewalks are poorly made. I get most of my good ones by dragging the lake bottoms, after boating accidents...

If blacks had owned guns in 1861 the Civil War might well have been an uprising of farm hands against farm owners instead of state against state.

Hey, DNC and Hillary:

Give up your security guns and tear down that fence.

Show everyone you mean what you say.

This has been brewing for a long time. Back in the 60s in the South local cops would tell us that if a black person (not the term used at the time) tried to brake into your house and you had to shoot him, drag the body half way through the window before you called the cops.

It just recently occurred to me the cops always used a “black burglar” in their advice to the citizens. Hey, they were the ones with the stats.

Now, now, the AP is making progress. By coining the term ‘police violence’ they have for the first time acknowledged that it takes a human to initiate ‘gun violence.’ Still a ways to go, however, until they get to ‘criminal violence.’

I saw Heather MacDonald getting grilled by a lefty black criminologist on CSPAN Sunday night. Heather said 2% of shootings in NYC are committed by whites.

If Slick Willie’s bimbo does win the “election”, I’ll guarantee that once da ho starts her UN gun confiscation program, there will be a civil war and no one will be able to stop it. I hate what is about to happen to my country. Damn “democrats”.
