Ever been to the South Bronx? Camden, NJ? A no go zone if Ive ever seen one.
I was thinking about this very thing the other day after watching the new TV series "The Alienist."
There have always been places in this country where "proper" people didn't go.
When I was a kid, we were told to stay out of H*ll's Kitchen in Manhattan, now look at it.
The South Bronx may not be far behind:
As sad as it is that these places still exist, it has been forever thus.
And there isn't enough political capital in the world to seriously do anything about it.
As long as it stays within it's own borders and "nice" people aren't impacted, oh, well.
The right to Keep & Bear arms!
They ain't going to their 72 virgins, for getting shot for intimidating and threatening some old white guy.
It keeps them at bay here.
Chicago, Baltimore, Atlanta, New Orleans and Detroit, have some no go zones only at night, already.
yes, but they keep threatening to impose more and more gun regulations.....
yupper on the no go zones, and that is why Trump is trying to outlaw them and hold the mayors of those cities in contempt....
and to your point....my son was going to purchase a home, in one of those cities...a long time ago....however, his father decided to drive thru at night. It was a completely different environment....completely different....and frightening....
during the day it looked like your average every day quiet rural neighborhood.
Who has the time today to drive around these areas at night? No one, except those who are there, know what's going on....
Look at how corrupt and crazy NJ is getting with taxes....people are leaving in droves...they're being raped financially.
when you sit back and ponder all the money Washington collects....or any community for that matter, where the hell is all our money going and why are they always broke that they lay off more and more police?
Police departments never have enough men to cover...you call the police and it takes them so long to get there...why? Why do they keep laying off police?
Why did police departments lower their testing standards so they could hire minorities....
I mean people think?
Why are they draining our social security money
and why did a filthy rich man, decide to run for President who wasn't part of the establishment, and adding insult to injury, why does both the media and other very powerful liberals want to destroy him? They FEAR HIM.
yes, but they keep threatening to impose more and more gun regulations.....
yupper on the no go zones, and that is why Trump is trying to outlaw them and hold the mayors of those cities in contempt....

He most certainly tried to outlaw the no go zones...and hold their cities leaders responsible, but the DOJ has stopped him.
If that memo comes out, boy are you ever going to be shocked.....
Did you even watch the 2nd link I posted?
Probably not
It all ties in
Let's think about this rationally for a moment.
How would he outlaw the no go zones? They aren't incorporated entities that exist separately from the towns, cities or counties where they exist.
They aren't static so they don't encompass the same acreage from one year to the next.
They aren't restricted to outsiders by any legal method that could be outlawed.
In other words people are not barred from entering them and the fact is, that there are many hard-working people who live in these areas because that's all they can afford.
So what would be outlawed? The fear that some people express at the thought of entering certain neighborhoods? The bias that some hold because they are predominantly made up of minorities from the lower strata of society?
Would you advocate for taking away their guns? And if so, under what argument?
They could, and probably do, argue that they have just as much right to protect what is theirs as does any suburban home-owner.
They may actually have even more of a need to do so.
Or, are they somehow not entitled to their 2nd amendment rights, again, because they are predominantly minorities from the lower strata of society?
Finally, what is the plan to improve these areas? How will their schools be improved? Their wages increased? Their housing stock upgraded?
Nobody wants open borders. That is just a talking point of the right for political posturing.
What politician has secured the border in the last 30 years ? Actual evidence without the BS story.
