Intimidating politicians? Um, you know how they do that? They VOTE. You might not like it but characterizing a group that votes on an issue that is near and dear to them as "intimidating" is a poor choice of words IMO.
The bottom line is that cities don't want to tackle thier urban and societal issues by holding THEIR voters responsible. So, they try to pass the buck onto other people that have nothing to do with those problems but serve as useful scapegoats that don't vote in those politicians district.
There are just as many guns in my neighborhood as that of the Austin neighborhood in Chicago. Austin has 60+ murders a year, mine has maybe 1 every 5 years or so. However, my neighborhood isn't full of drugs and gangs....but no....the problem is really guns.
Basically, you are blaming the "flow of guns" and I respectfully disagree that has anything to do with it. Um, has banning meth, heroin and so forth slowed down their flow? These are the same guys already trafficking in drugs....nuff said.
