>>Years ago a friend of mine was hit by a guy running a stop light - her 12 year old daughter sitting in the back seat has had at least 8 operations - and is now a young adult. Ask me if I care if some jerks’ life is “coarsened” by a camera - I don’t.<<
No offense, but that is anecdotal. House to house searches for guns would reduce gun crime. It doesn’t mean they can or should do it. Just because something may save lives does not mean it should be done.
We kill almost 50,000 people per year on our highways. I don’t see anyone suggesting we ban cars.
Wrong again - turns out more guns mean LESS crime. The problem isn't guns, it's who has the guns. In "gun control" settings, criminals have guns - remember, they don't follow the rules. In that same "gun control" setting law biding people don't have guns. - And the power goes to the creeps, thugs and lowlifes.
Your story about the DA is bunk - sounds like it was made up by a criminal or a Hollywood writer. Or it's the kind of self serving bull that's fed to criminals to give them hope that in fact their crappy lives are not their fault - but just a random act of some powerful person.
It's silly...
Get your friend to name names - it's an urban myth (criminal version) at best.
