I'd bet 2/3 of them are here illegally from SOTB.

Ooh Ooh Ooh!!!

I have the answer!!!

Make it harder for law-abiding citizens to own firearms. That'll stop the baddies in their tracks.

DC sucks.

[AZHua87]

Do an adult crime - do adult time.

[goodnesswins]

"In Virginia recently, gang victims have been hacked by machetes and had fingers cut off. Affiliated gangs in Central America are suspected in several recent beheadings of young women."

Guess 'gun control' won't do it now....

[speedy]

Heaven forbid that we put some poor, confused youth in prison for a little juvenile indiscretion like beheading someone with a machete. Some kids soap the neighbor's windows, some decapitate them. It's just a cry for help. (Trying to react like a liberal.)

[paul51]

declare open season on all known gang members and throw in a $500 bounty for fun and the problem will disappear in a couple weeks

[CrawDaddyCA]

I'm actually surprised that the anti-gunners weren't spewing their rhetoric in this article.

It's coming, just wait and see. And the Republican majority will allow it, all for our 'security'.

Why do I have the urge to go puke now?

[Xenophon450]

One of the best ideas I ever heard...that new Hi Fi system is 2 gang members away.

[Dad yer funny]

well WELL! , the National Council of La Raza knows better,HUH?? All the usual suspects are doing their best obstruction dance ,... anything normal,decent folks need is opposed by these anti-American groups

"Why do I have the urge to go puke now?"

Because you are awake.

[NY Attitude]

Sounds like a good time for a nation-wide CCW permit so that honest citizens can at least protect themselves.

Close the borders
deport the aliens
problem solved

[Brad’s Gramma]

Close the borders
deport the aliens
problem solved



And......arm the law-abiding citizens, freely.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

[Rane _H]

Hmmm, I see the solution to a possible labor shortage if the borders are closed. :) But that would be wrong, making poor children work in the fields. They might actually learn something.

[umgud]

Street gangs have grown to about 750,000, but "Critics say the sentencing provisions could require an additional 24,000 prison beds over the next decade".

[DTogo]

Another Government-issue band-aid on the cancer of unsecured borders and unenforced immigration laws. How many more Americans must die until something gets done?

[Mulder]

A classic example of 'problem-reaction-solution'.

The gov't creates the problem by adopting an open border policy.

They manipulate the reaction (fear).

And propose a solution, which is more laws and a more centralized state.

[clamper1797]

And......arm the law-abiding citizens, freely.

AMEN
