Why doesn't Government start gun control with illegally owned weapons?

Rather than enact laws that affect only law abiding people who purchase guns through legal channels, why doesn't the Government start actively removing ILLEGAL weapons from the streets?

I'm not talking about these feeble buy-back programs where you can bring grandpa's broken 1940 model .22 rifle in and get a hundred bucks to go buy crack.

Why not run house-to-house searches in cities like Detroit and Chicago, where illegal guns in the hands of gang members are used in hundreds and hundreds of shootings every year? Why not demand extremely stiff prison sentences without parole for illegal gun owners?

Why not? Because the Left would immediately scream racism. They'd claim it was an attempt to take away black people's means of defense against systemic racism.

It's obvious that the real motive behind gun control is not stopping gun violence, but instead disarming white conservative gun owners.

You can't go house to house and do that. Any true Conservative would scream constitutional violations.

I'd say declare those cities disaster areas or war zones based on the statistics and take it from there.

Why don't Liberals demand that? If Beto can say “Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” why can't he say the same thing about the illegal guns in Chicago and Detroit?

If I was a mayor, I'd be like 'fuck search warrants'! and send in the police and knock down their doors, and drag them out and disarm them.

The ACLU can kiss my ass!

[–] whynotwriteme (7725) 3 years ago

I would definitely vote for you.

[–] Connie93 (826) 3 years ago

fuck yeah!

[–] whynotwriteme (7725) 3 years ago

I'd like to see you kick that frigging Mayor Beetlejuice's ass right out of Chicago.

[–] Connie93 (826) 3 years ago

black, lesbian, democrat: she is all that is wrong with America.

So basically you are saying fuck The Constitution?

[–] CowherPower4Ever (241) 3 years ago

And when that militia comes together to protect their city don't be shocked. Don't complain.

[–] whynotwriteme (7725) 3 years ago

I'm sure the street-gang militias of Chicago and Detroit wouldn't last very long against a motivated Government force.

[–] CowherPower4Ever (241) 3 years ago

I'm talking about non gang member Americans who support not only gun rights but our rights to fight a tyrannical government.

[–] whynotwriteme (7725) 3 years ago

Most people who support gun rights would be pleased and agree with any serious initiative to remove ILLEGAL guns from the streets.

ACLU would be the least of your problems. You need this little thing called a search warrant to enter a private residence, otherwise these people would sue the fuck out of the city.

[–] CraigC (8273) 3 years ago

Liberals are the reason those cities are shitholes in the first place. They never wise up and smell what they're shoveling.

[–] B1cKsurN (17481) 3 years ago

Correct. Leftist policies create mass shooters, and also prevent the solutions to deal with them.

[–] CraigC (8273) 3 years ago

Exactly!

[–] B1cKsurN (17481) 3 years ago

Illegal guns are their army. This is why they want to disarm legal gun-owners, then the oppression can really begin.

[–] whynotwriteme (7725) 3 years ago

There's a clear-sighted answer!

When the legal gun-owners are disarmed, the mobs can waltz right into their neighborhoods with their illegal weapons and loot and burn without having to worry about a Rittenhouse or McCloskey standing up to them. In this way, Liberals can "break the patriarchy" and "Dismantle endemic racism".

Did your mom have any kids who were NOT mentally retarded?

California does a no ID buyback somewhat like there no id voting. This way you can sell your cheap stolen gun you can't sell on the streets to the police.

[–] whynotwriteme (7725) 3 years ago

Yeah. Cash in that cheap, crappy old Saturday Night Special by Raven Arms and use the money toward a nice, new Glock!

[–] elcamino (15540) 3 years ago

Well, when you go into a home you don't leave anything that might sell. Now you have a guarantee the town will buy it from you.

When criminals are caught with an illegal gun over and over liberal Democrat prosecutors and judged reduce the crime to j walking.

Someone told me, yes its backwards z yes it's crazy. But if you look at the statistics these policies will kill off more of a certain group.

Democrats preach one thing and act like they are helping but statistics and numbers show who they are killing the most.

[–] whynotwriteme (7725) 3 years ago

But if you look at the statistics these policies will kill off more of a certain group.

Same is true for the abortion issue.

[–] Bloodworth79 (5689) 3 years ago

Right, so it's a hidden secret. Just keep quiet and watch the numbers.
Things are not what they seem.
