Why just gun violence?
Enforce current laws and actually require criminals to serve their sentence.

This right here ^^

There is no other "solution" and it's just stupid for lawmakers to propose anything else.

Hell, put the criminals in jail and there ya go. No more guns on the streets. Only people will have guns that want to protect themselves.. Done, now wasn't that easy? Thanks aps.

I'm with you on that, they really need to start putting boots up asses instead of just slapping them on the wrist.

You can not regulate behavior by regulating tools.

The motivation behind drug crimes is that is is worth it to the participants so, the solutions lie in dealing with the behaviors associated with the decision that it is worth it.

Legalization takes away the motivation because its not worth jail over cheap dope anymore than it is over cheap beer.

Increasing criminal sanctions has not worked in the past. It has only made the reward go up with the increased risk which is to say nothing of the price society pays for prohibition.

Between here and your FB, you have posted that 4,987 times in the last three days. You need a new slogan.

Right, because they don't actually enforce it. If they did, you would see a dramatic drop in crime. There is not one single person who was involved in the shootings of the last few days that doesn't have a prior record. The guy that broke into my house was out on PBJ and a suspended sentence - he should have been in jail for previous crimes instead of ransacking my house.

Legalizing drugs will not stop thugs from being thugs. You said it yourself (4,987 times): you cannot regulate behavior by regulating tools. Or even de-regulating tools.

If you go into work today and the powers that be tell you that your services are no longer needed, are you going to go and look for another job that earns as much or more, and are you going to look in the same profession?

if you can purchase your Mary Jane Blunts @ WAWA, legally, why would you buy from Tyrell do the block and have to roll your own ?


all I am saying is it removes some incentive ....... when Prohibition Ended, were people still making bathtub gin

no they started buying from the liquor store again
