Notice how he says that the handgun “crisis” is ignored because victims are primarily minorities. Perhaps the solution is not to go after the handguns, but the people who pull the trigger on those handguns.

I do know Dems would never support an action that disarmed criminals without it also disarming law-abiding citizens. Thus blame all crimes on guns, not people.

In a large majority of murders by handgun, the police KNOW the person who pulled the trigger, if only by prior acquaintance in earlier brushes with the law. But the LEOs can do nothing, as they are constrained by prosecuting attorneys that have “compassion” for the disadvantaged youth, and use their “prosecutorial discretion” to selectively turn these same transgressors loose again and again, often before the arresting officer has completed the paperwork.

Mere words in a thick tome outlining what is legal and illegal mean nothing unless there is a will to apply the letter and spirit of the law.

Adams is probably better than the current commie but he is not a Giuliani.
