Street sweepers have been banned since 1994 in CT.
I'm sure he just lost his DPS approved "assault weapons" certificate though.

It may actually make more sense to assign the murder to the location and time of the purchase of the gun. Then Idiots who decide to impose gun control will know what works and what doesn't.

Of course we dont know in some cases cos the murder is unsolved and by extension the gun is unknown. Those we leave as un classified till solved.

Cool.

That's part of it, but the largest component is the refusal to confront the real issue, lest they be branded as racists. To solve the problem in places like Chicago you are going to have to figure out a way to deal with the perpetrators of almost all of this stuff; black urban youths. That's never going to happen in any city with a large black population where Democrats are in charge. They depend on the black vote to stay in power.

Being called a "racist" in todays political climate is a political death sentence in a lot of places. Once that label is slapped on someone - true or not - they are done as a politician in any liberal leaning city or state.

My two cents.

I was in Palermo last month for the European Labor Day long weekend (May 1st)

Palermo being considered by "those in the know" as THE Italian Mafia Capital of the world.




Uh... maybe. Maybe in the old days...



Yet, in the city center, the streets were (reasonably) clean, fewer gypsies canvassing than in Rome or Milan...




Fewer Police with blaring sirens than in (peaceful) Rome.

Even traffic jams were... quieter...

You could walk the streets in the evening, even after dark, without fearing to be mugged or robbed.
Our host & hostesses swear they dine out and go to cinema and theater
and nobody in their right mind would try and rob you at gunpoint in the city center.

Where does the difference lay ?
Is it the food ?
Is it the drink ?
Is it that "discipline" is more efficiently enforced? By whom... still,  the streets in the city center are safe.

So whether it's Puertorican street gangs, or Mexican street gangs, or Nigerian street gangs...
...somebody should realize you can teach them good manners...
...it takes a firm fist, but they will learn... they will learn.

I don't think it will take 1,000 years to learn that lesson.
I believe it was MPescatori, actually, who posted something about a Chinese rape gang member that ended up being displayed in the town square?
Please, revisit that story if it was you, M.

There's a hispanic gang running amok in a small city in Virginia where I have family, that uses machetes to chop their rivals up. Takes longer than a gunshot, but the guys they chop up are just as dead.

Its not the guns that are the problem. There are lots of guns where I live. I've got some myself. What we don't have where I live is a bunch of minority street gangs that earn their living selling drugs and robbing one another. There are a few- I suppose there are a few in any city of any size - and when there is a shooting around here it  almost always involves those guys. THEY are the problem. Wave a magic wand and make all the guns vanish tomorrow and they will just switch to sticks, or bats, or knives, or anything else they can use to cut ,stab or bash each others brains in.

Taking guns away from the folks who don't do that sh*t isn't going to fix anything.

JOG: Yes Gun control implemented 1/2 assedly leads to more violence ...
No one is disarming any non criminal. My idea is to register every gun and rifling marks to a law abiding non criminal, and make every sale complete with registration in the new owners name. No sales to a criminal. Period. Guns in criminal hands are not stolen - except the few that are, or got by beating up cops. They are bought legitimately in states with no gun laws (like TX, SC) and transported to DC, NYC or chicago where there are more laws.

Calling this gun control is a joke. That only plays into the hands of the NRA ... instead of thos "gun control" we could just hand guns to random people.
Like I said, a murder needs to be marked off to the location of purchase of the gun. Then we will know what is occouring. Of course the NRA wont let that happen, and they wont let guns be registered and they will spout garbage like "Criminals will never go through background checks"

Oldnslow: They can hack with toothpicks for all I care, they dont hack the 10 people standing round them do they ...
