Nonsense. More new gun laws will solve everything. </if I need to put a sarcasm tag on this than forget it>

It is essentially just a legal contract. However, some things, namely spousal priviledge, cannot be granted without the recognition of the state.

Crimmigration also has a role.

In Newark, the overwhelming majority of homicides are black on black, the recent high profile murder nothwithstanding. As a matter of fact, the area of Newark with the lowest crime rate is the one with the highest number of immigrants (Ironbound/the East Ward). There aren't that many immigrants, illegal or legal, in the sh-tholes that are the South and West Wards.

Now if we were talking about certain nabes in Houston and the entire city of El Paso, then you would have a point...

OK, everybody, let’s blame it on the mothers again. Crime is not the fault of criminals. I am so tired of hearing this from the Manhattan Institute—I think they must sing it in round from at lunch.

A great deal of the crime is driven by the profits from the war on drugs. Legalize it for those over 21 years of age and tax it like alcohol and tobacco with severe penalties for anyone that gives it to anyone under 21. Transfer the DEA personnel to the Border Patrol.

Wow, those “severe penalties” sure will do the trick. Just as they are now for illegal drugs.

It would be better than the corrupted mess we have now. Nothing's perfect.

Stop Abusing Snitchin' - The government's morally dubious use of drug informants
