And in spite of that democrats still continue to try and "solve" the problem by never actually addressing it and constantly targeting the wrong people. A liberal would try to stop teenage street racing by making it harder for senior citizens to get a license.
Well, in that case, do you have any better ideas, ideas that are Constitutional?
Can't disagree with you. Hate crimes legislation has masked a real mental health - dealing effectively with life's curve balls - issue in this country. The legislation ought to go. No need for a separate class of murder assalt and so forth,

Since the end of the Civil War, the federal government has freaked out, the freemen will have their full 2nd amendment rights.
Part of reconstruction and reconstitution of the south, was to deny blacks their 2nd amendment, by the carpetbaggers sent in from the north.
This has some truth to it. Up until recently southren states had some pretty serious and confusing gun laws that were mostly due to post civil war/ jim crow era.

I do.
Stop the catch and release program that we currently have for violent criminals and start sentencing in accordance with the crime. Premeditated murder should get a minimum of life without parole, for example.
End the war on drugs which drives the violence in urban areas.
Stop rewarding people with multiple out of wedlock children.
Better look to your president and his administration.
“And to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don’t have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately.” -Vice President Joe Biden
In your dreams. That's the last place those guns come from.
"Stolen guns account for only about 10% to 15% of guns used in crimes"
Your meme is wrong, the DOJ had nothing to do with his sentencing, it was the judge in the case, and he is a George H.W. Bush appointee.
The problem with internet memes is that people wholeheartedly believe them just because they agree with them without ever once trying to figure out if they are true.
We are talking about an administration that allowed assault weapons to freely filter into drug cartel's hands resulting in hundreds of Mexicans getting shot as well as some Americans.
2) Then used executive privilege to shut down the investigation. So much for the most transparent administration in US History.
3) Then Holder, his AG, lied to congress over it too!
You shouldnt use the word lie so freely when no one has ever proven a F&F gun was used to kill any American.
You also shouldnt use an ipso facto argument, which is what Politifact did. If you shut down a restaurant for a year, and then reopen it under another name in the exact same location do you claim it is a new restaurant. The answer is obviously no, and yet that is what both you and politifact are arguing.
There is one reason I care about these statistics. Black men are the #1 murder victim in the USA. Black men already have among the lowest life expectancies in the nation. And I know homicide plays a big part, alongside heart disease, cancer, and a host of other issues, many related to stress. For every person perpetrating murder, there is a victim of murder.
Many people only want talk about Black men committing murders. Because of that, I often ask "what is your point in bringing this up"? I look at it like this. If it is hurting anyone who isn't Black, then people will get up in arms about it. However, if Blacks, especially males, are suffering the worst, then that factor gets ignored.
