Urban Advocates Say New Gun Control Talk Overdue
ABC News / The Associated Press ^ | December 22, 2012 | Jesse Washington

For years, voices have cried in the urban wilderness: We need to talk about gun control.

Yet the guns blazed on.

It took a small-town slaughter for gun control to become a political priority. Now, decades' worth of big-city arguments against easy access to guns are finally being heard, because an unstable young man invaded an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., with a military-style assault rifle and 30-bullet magazines. Twenty young children and six adults were slain....

I suggest we start with Chicago. Let’s see Baraq send the ATF enforcers to the ghetto next summer.

I haven’t seen one “gun control” advocate talking about stiffer penalties for gun CRIME. It is as if they don’t have a beef with the criminals just law abiding citizens. Now why would that be?

"We need a conversation about guns."

Translation: "We need to discuss how we are banning them, and you're going to quietly comply."

It's just like how the Left "compromises". They get what they want, and the other side gets to STFU. See? It's a COMPROMISE.

Simply adopt the same laws Chicago has. We can gather even more valuable stats on how good unenforced laws work.

I will NOT submit.

How come our Constitution protects the "rights" of illegals, drug dealers, homosexuals and people mooching off the government but not me?????????

There is no news any more. It's all propaganda.

I remember when an article like this would have been shot down because it was too much like an editorial.

In 2008 the MSM went from being biased to actually being part of the Democrat/progressive perpetual campaign.

“Urban” is the new buzz word for criminals have institutional dominance and government support to rape the tax payer- esp if he/she is white.

Seems to me that the urbanites have an increased level of self importance lately.

Eric Holder's people support gun control because they consider violent crime to be a legitimate career path, and armed victims to be an OSHA violation.

Before we implement this, we need to see it in a petri dish closed environment.

Oops, we have that already in Chicago and it FAILED miserably.

I think gun control is a wonderful idea. Anyone who commits criminal homicide with a gun should be put through an expedited trial process which takes two years from arrest through execution (or acquittal, if the accused is found not guilty). That should discourage criminals from killing people with guns.

When Bloomberg, Rahm Emanuel, and all the other mayors get rid of their armed bodyguards and 24 hour armed protection, I will consider entering a “conversation” with them about gun control and hypocrisy.
