The vast majority of these neighborhood shootings are commited by black and latino males....a fact that liberals will not admit.They're all packing now due to the end of stop and frisk.
Black and Hispanic youths and young adults commit a very disproportionate amount of crime in America's urban areas. Whites and Asians not so much.
What are we supposed to do about this? Pretend it's not real?
Isn't that what we are doing right now ? We've got Bloomberg claiming he's going to spend 60 million to restrict the rights of legal gun owners.....yet I haven't heard his plans for solving the inner city violence we see across the nation.
Let's just keep putting our heads in the sand, and ignore the situation...
But, where does it stop? So, do police target areas that are pro Second Amendment to randomly search people for otherwise legal guns that have recently been banned like what they are doing in Virginia and elsewhere? Will they fabricate reasons to search anyone and anywhere they want and go on random fishing expeditions to generate revenue in fines, fees, court costs etc., just to sustain and grow the "judicial system", and justify more police and higher salaries?
It doesn't. The criteria for stopping and frisking will increase as they look harder and harder for crimes in search of a victim.

So what? I do not care.
1) You have the right to own a gun. 2nd Amendment.
2) You have the right to not be subjected to unreasonable search and seizure. 4th Amendment.
I'm against it because it violates important civil liberties. That is what happened when Bloomberg and Giuliani did that in NYC.
He who would sacrifice essential liberties for temporary security will have neither. -Benjamin Franklin.
I'd prefer drugs be decriminalized, wage laws be abolished, welfare and all forms of licensure ended. Let people work legit jobs.
Anyway, high crime trailer parks, ghettos, urban streets, etc. are a symptom of wrongheaded govt policies. The cure isnt to pile on more of it, especially when it is a violation of your own govt's rule book and more importantly the state has no moral authority to stop people who havent committed any crime.
Absolutely not, the courts put a stop to it in NY and they were correct to do so.
End all warrantless searches.
Innocent until proven guilty here, you should not be required to proactively prove your innocence to law enforcement.
This.
