Dear GOP, note how most Democrats also say the NM Governor is overreaching?
IOW, no one is trying to take your guns away. |
LOL - no, that is plain ignorance, sorry dude. |
WOW your description is fail, and oh yeah the dox threat is real childish, but what do you expect from karen types. |
Many left leaning groups, consider it a social justice issue because black bodies are disporportionate victims. That Brady (the gun control group) link says "Black Americans are twice as likely as white Americans to die from gun violence and 14 times more likely than white Americans to be wounded. A documented 4,084 Black people were lynched in 73 years; 93,262 were shot dead in 14. Like lynching, gun violence is a racial justice issue." and "Gun homicide (mass shootings, so-called “everyday” violence, and police-involved shootings) is a universal American threat. But Black Americans are 10 times more likely than White Americans to die from it. " We must instead consider how public policy has made it so that Black people are more likely to face conditions that facilitate gun violence than white people. So then it is a fair question. Does "over policing" reduce violence against black and brown bodies? Given New York's past policies of overpolicing black and brown bodies, the answer is "Yes it does". It is however at a cost of civil rights. So the policy discussion should be, is it worth overpolicing to save lives? The straw purchasing issue can be solved thorugh other means without a registry. Create agreements to reduce some punishments if straw purchasers are ratted out. If wives, girlfriends, buddies etc get thrown in jail then word gets out pretty quickly that its not worth doing. |
Regulated = well equipped or armed to the teeth |
Someone might want to tell them Jeff doesn’t have our names and addresses. |
That is NOT what regulated means. |
With a registry you don't even need to rely on somone ratting someone else out, and no need to reduce punishments. |
The problem is that the black community doesn't trust the police. To them, the police isn't much better than another violent street gang, except with badges and immunity. That needs to change. |
Stop and Frisk was not actually that effective. NYC's violent crime rate didn't actually show any major shift as a result of implementing it. Stop and Frisk ended in 2013, because it was found to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL. And even after Stop and Frisk ended, the violent crime rate continued to drop. The data shows that Stop and Frisk had very little to do with the reduction in violent crime. There are numerous papers that show this: MacDonald J, Fagan J, Geller A (2016) The Effects of Local Police Surges on Crime and Arrests in New York City. PLoS ONE 11(6): e0157223. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0157223 Weisburd D, Wooditch A, Weisburd S, Yang SM. Do Stop, Question, and Frisk Practices Deter Crime?Criminology & Public Policy. 2015 Nov 1. Meanwhile you have folks like Giuliani and Trump exaggerating its success, claiming it made NYC one of the safest cities in the country - yet again the numbers disagree - for example, here it's ranked 113 out of 182 cities. https://wallethub.com/edu/safest-cities-in-america/41926 The problem with conservatives and gun rights advocates is that they never look at the data and instead cling to debunked and disproven talking points. |
Because Democrats are terrified of their own ignorance of the constitution. |
You say that while believing Twitter owes you 1A protection? Sure, pal. Sure. |
DP. No, we believe that our government officials should NOT be able to instruct Twitter when to delete accounts or censor posts because they run counter to the narrative the government is pushing. That is what happened. |
Right. There are no Black people in prison in the U.S. |
