The mayor of Newark was on Morning Joe this morning.
Seems last month was the first month since the 60’s that Newark hasn’t had a murder.
Part of the reason was the crackdown on illegal arms. He said that since they started taking statistics during the last 5 years, in all the murders using guns, only ONE was with a legally owned gun, all the other killings were with illegally obtained weapons.
Every time there is an attempt at reigning in illegal weapons, the right goes ballistic with fear and terror of a “government takeover”.
Is the right really that terrified of our government? They have so little faith in the constitution? If they feel that way, why do they want to be in charge of government? And when they are in charge, why are they so willing to dispense with bothersome rights?
