This is hidious counsel. Oakland was there back in the 70s and 80s; and it made things worse, not better, and because people were having to live below the window line all the time.
As for what to do in high-crime neighborhoods, I've been there, and the only answer is to be tough.
Yeah right. Willie was "there" when he was a cabbie starting to hook up ladies of the night to form COYOTE from which Willie got his first political constituency - madams and their Johns. Back then, "high crime" was equivalent to what goes on in suburbia. No, Willie, you haven't been "there". Once you made it big you lived in the good gated parts, taxpayerfunded security, cars, etc. And you still live that way. Comparing your "then" to what is now is incomparable.
People in the community need to have self-defense, and to also work with the police.
Willie-Pooh is Pet Rock dumb.
Gun control in America was racist in origin.
When the KKK night riders found their dirty sheets were cotton, not Kevlar, they got together and had gun laws passed that disarmed the Blacks.
Night riding was made safe for the KKK by gun control.
Got that bit of history, Willie?
Damn! I’m missing out. I’ve never seen one in the street, I’ve only seen them in gun shows or shops, where they were offered for a pretty penny. Tell me, O great politician, where I can find them in the streets, so that I may take them off your mind (for only a nominal fee).
You are lost in the weeds on the details.
It is not how you divide up the weapons that is important.
Gun ownership is either a Constitutional right or it is not.
With all new laws you have to ask: How will this stop the CRIMINAL mis-use of weapons.
“There is no justification for an AK-47 in private hands. Period.”
Why not? Full auto military arms in the streets of Switzerland has worked out very well indeed. It kept them out of WWII and has kept them one of the most free and most prosperous nations on earth.
On days when there are shooting competitions, the streets of Switzerland swarm with men, women and children carrying full auto rifles.
It is common to see full auto rifles being carried by citizens in Israel.
Automatic rifles in the hands of citizens is a sign of freedom the around the world. It is those who are disarmed that are in danger.
Where does this guy get the audacity to say that a group of firearms should be banned due to cosmetics?
Enforce the laws you’ve got, Willie. Better yet, relax the laws so that the good guys can arm and protect themselves since it is clear that your pathetic government can’t or won’t protect them.
Indeed.
WWGARD?
(What Would George A. Romero Do?)
That language should make for a field day ta SCOTUS. How would they ever reconcile that with the language of the Miller decision?
You're right, Willie, you scumbag, there isn't any "justification" -- but there is a right, which you are not about to take away!
And yes, Willie -- they're all pointed at you, just as Hamilton and Madison intended they should be, when they wrote their Federalist articles about the Militia as the guarantor of the People's safety from the conspiracies and machinations of characters like you!
You scumbag! Get lost!
Yeah, you sure were, bag man, slumming around the red-light district in one of your dozens of Armani suits and repping for pimps and pushers.
You, the archpimp's lawyer, are gonna tell us how to make the streets safe -- LOL!
What a scumbag!
Check me if I'm wrong, but don't .30 Carbine (feeding the M-1 carbine), .223/5.56mm NATO, and the AK's 7.62x39mm ammunition pack about the same ballistics (roughly)?
All of which come up very short against the 30-06 and .308 (7.62 NATO) "full-sized" .30-cal. rounds, which group energywise with .300 Savage, .303 British, .30-30, .30-40 Krag, and the full-sized Russian 7.62x54R (rimmed).
Kids with no parents - especially male kids with no fathers - find role models and “families” elsewhere - in the wrong places.
So, when Black Americans get serious about their community's lack of responsibility in parenting black youth, then maybe I'll listen to them about gun violence.
But my guess is if they ever do, gun violence will cease to be a major problem for Black Americans.
What if you just keep criminals with convictions for previous gun crimes off the street, instead of letting them out on parole?
Nor do they seem to know that both were readily available under the AWB.
