Government solution: Form a committee.

The author makes exactly zero case why addressing criminal activity as a "public health issue" will add a thing to reducing crime. Zero. This plea is simply one long soundbite with zero substance.

Language is a very large part of the problem. The word used to describe murderers is felons. Although not totally, the murder and gun crimes are related to the criminal black underclass.

To declare the solution to the problem is to assault the criminal black underclass with the full force and effect of the law is political incorrectness verging on heresy.

If there is not the stomach to set right the language, there is no hope for change in the behavior.

The crime of racism trumps the crime of murder

Have the predator capture the predators.

Where’s ARGUS?

Than, incarcerate/eliminate as justice determines.

There are no imaginable laws that could keep guns out of the hands of felons.

You could put the felons in a place where there is no access to guns or access to decent people to victimize.

Our only choice is whether the felons will be the only ones armed or their law-abiding victims will be armed too and able to defend themselves.

I agree that all law-abiding folks should be armed but that will not decrease the numbers of shootings in places like Milwaukee because the victims of illegally armed law breaking thugs are themselves illegally armed law breaking thugs.

This question in not why do we allow 'guns on the streets' but why do we allow dangerous people who can't handle the freedoms we have out onto the street.

The problem Milwaukee has is not about "guns". It is about "criminals", and how they are allowed by the court systems to run free.

Check out this very illuminating thread...

I guess DeLorian didn’t get the memo that crime is illegal. Or maybe it was written in cursive.

Yeah, form a working group, set up a committee, engage in dialogue. All meaningless verbiage. My question is are those who mouth these platitudes fools, hucksters or both?
