Hmmmm..the best tool to stop gun violence....arrest felons who are in possession of guns...which is, of course, a felony and should put them in jail a long time....if they actually wanted them in jail....why do I say IF....because they don't seem to be doing it...

Milwaukee DA Stats Confirm Existing Gun Laws Not Being Enforced - The Truth About Guns

Media Trackers was unable to locate any charge related to illegally possessing a firearm in 68 of those cases – a stunning 47.8% of the time.

In at least one case, Milwaukee DA John Chisholm’s office refused to charge a suspect with possession of a firearm as a felon in 2013 only to have the man charged with first degree intentional homicide a year later . . .

Keithany M. Brodie was recommended for charges of possessing a firearm as a felon in the summer of 2013 and was never charged according to WCCA [Wisconsin Circuit Court Access] records. A year later, Brodie was charged with first degree intentional homicide and robbery after police say he murdered a man in an attempted robbery. Interestingly, Chisholm’s office has finally charged Brodie with possession of a firearm as a felon – but only in connection with the murder.

so please, we don't need new background checks, gun registration or magazine limits...just arrest and put in prison felons caught with guns....problem solved...apparently that would have stopped those murders....

Fact: Gun registration laws have no effect on felons' guns.

 

[Mr. H.]

A felon most likely will not display a firearm until he/she intends to discharge it.

Stop and Frisk was, IMO, a decent campaign.

No more. Thanks to....
