What the hell good are strict gun laws, if you can travel less than 50 miles, and get a gun legally?
I am sure that they are getting guns illegally. Is that justification for not doing anything about guns in the hands of criminals and crazies? I have no problem with stop and frisk. I have no problem with searching a person house for illegal weapons with little to no justification for a search warrant.
Jackson has pretty much disappeared. Sharpton is the worse kind of bigot even his voice is offensive. I surprised that he hasn't shown up on the Missouri campus. I guess that he is really believes that he is part of the media now, and is not welcomed there. That hasn't stopped him from going to places that he wasn't welcomed before.
What have the Republicans done about gun laws besides stopping any legislation that may address the issue? Since they are obstructing any new gun laws, all the Democrats can do is TALK.

Gang bangers are not killing each other with Legally purchased guns. So, your premise regarding them driving to another state doesn't work.
Strict gun laws obviously don't work, so that's a moot point. We have a federal background check for all dealer purchases.
By the way, violent crime is down from 20 years ago.
But, criminals are criminals and will always find a tool of intimidation to use when committing a crime.
You can't blame either party for their lack of understanding on how to handle the gun situation. No laws can make a difference unless you are prepared to incarcerate those that use a gun in the commission of a crime. A whole different charge, separate from the main charge. That will act as a deterrent. Having no gun zones doesn't help either. You don't have to worry about the law abiding citizen. It's the criminals that will disregard that rule/law.
So, all that aside, until someone can come up with something that can be applied to the water supply that will make people non-violent, we will always have murders. But, as long as judges and politicians keep commuting sentences of violent offenders, then there is no deterrent to crime. So far, the only deterrent available right now is straight shooting COPs. COPs that put down these mad animals in the street.
