100%! it's just wishful thinking on my part...It will never happen. The last thing that the leftists and ruling class wants is a reduction in crime against the lower and middle classes. First off, it's too dangerous for law enforcement to really go after armed criminals. Secondly, any real reduction in armed crime will result in a call to reduce the militarization of civilian police, and that goes against the grain of statists. Finally, a reduction in armed crime might result in more people deciding they don't want to be completely dependent on the government.
A perfect example is Chicago. If Rahm and his cronies really wanted to stop the genocide of young Black children, he could. Instead, he implores on bended knee that the gang-bangers stay away "the chilrun" as they kill each other. "We've got two gangbangers, one standing next to a kid. Get away from that kid. Take your stuff away to the alley. Don't touch the children of the city of Chicago. Don't get near them" He's making an appeal to the "values" and good will of the gang-bangers. "I don't buy this case where people say they don't have values. They do have values. They have the wrong values." Like Luke Skywalker, who can sense some goodness in Darth Vader Rahm can sense some good in the Gang Bangers.
