Cities can make local laws. But the "red" laws say "don't murder" why the "blue cities" ignore those laws.

States make the gun laws and all sentencing guidelines

States make the gun laws and all sentencing guidelines

Then why don't blue cities follow the laws and the guidelines?

There is a fight going on between the city and the state on who appoints the city prosecutor and who controls the police department.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri's governor would play a major role in St. Louis policing and prosecution under a bill praised by Republicans as a way to fight crime and criticized by Democrats as an attempt to take away local control from the Black-led city.

Debate on the bill, which would give the governor the power to appoint a special prosecutor for five years along with a police board, is expected to last hours Tuesday in the GOP-led Senate.

Surrendering to an Insurrection Against Sanity

Red-State governors don't have the guts to take over the cities and arrest its crime-enabling officials. The feds, if courageous Conservatives, should also do that, especially to the sanctuary cities.

They don’t make the laws or run the prisons
That is Republicans

They do make laws, they do defund the police, and they do let criminals out of jail...

The Tards like to remind everyone that America is the most dangerous nation on earth because there's “no gun control” (or some such nonsense). But only 2 of America's cities show up in the top 40 list of cities with the highest murder rates. Many of the cities on the list have gun control laws on their books.

America has many laws that should stop murder in its tracks -- if, that is -- criminals obeyed laws.

1) It's against the law to murder people. If laws worked against criminals, why isn't this law working?
2) It's against the law for felons to own guns. If this law worked, why do felons still have guns?
3) Etc.

Stockholm for the Homeboys

South Africa has the third highest murder rate, 33.5, as opposed to America's 7.8. Those who gave Nelson Mandela the Nobel Peace Prize knew that would be the result. Let's not be fooled by the vicious race-traitors' pose of humanitarianism.

The Kenyan got that prize as well, then proceeded to drone-bomb noncombatant citizens.
