A black community ‘drowning’ in gunfire wonders if it will ever ride the Parkland wave

[Asclepias]

In a different context, Shevrin Jones might have sounded like a spokesman for the National Rifle Association.

Just two days after hundreds of Parkland families cheered on Florida’s new gun restrictions, the West Park Democrat stood in front of nodding parents and children in a rec center and called the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act deeply flawed. After all, what good are extended waiting periods to South Florida’s minority communities when the shooters who terrorize their neighborhoods are often stealing weapons and buying them on the street?

“Our communities don’t care about whether you do a background check,” said Jones, a state representative. “Because we’re not going to the store to buy a gun. We’re going to buy them illegally.”

As South Florida lawmakers hosted a series of town hall events coordinated across the country this week in the hopes of furthering a renewed gun control movement, the tenor and tone of the gatherings — much like their relationship with guns — has varied from community to community. Less than 30 miles and 48 hours apart, events near Parkland and in Miami Gardens illustrated just how complex the problem of gun violence is, and why answers have been so elusive even among communities supporting the same party.

You mean there is no one true way?

Say it ain't so, Jack.

Blacks could clean up their own communities if they would just cooperate with police, they know who the bad guys are.


.

You cooperate with the cops you wind up dead because the cops are involved in the drug trade. They simply tell the drug dealer who snitched and you wind up dead.

Explain Brazil.

Brazil can't enforce it's gun laws. A big portion of it is lawless, and it's surrounded by other countries with weak governments that are totally incapable of enforcing gun laws.

hehehe!! Explain Honduras? Guatemala?

Same reason.

So explain a country like Switzerland? Higher per capita gun ownership than the US...yet? What do they have or not have that we need?

First, they don't have a higher per capita gun ownership than the US. Second, if you want to adopt Switzerland's gun laws for the U.S., I will vehemently support you in your efforts immediately.

 

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

One of the great failings of this amazing nation we live in is how so many guns were allowed to flood into our communities, making it easier for a criminal to get a gun here than anywhere else in the world

Just like the ever flowing supply of drugs and liquor stores in the Black community, the same with illegal weapons. Its allowed because whites want Blacks to kill themselves off.

Supply and demand...if the demand were not there...

Bullshit. White people drink and do drugs more than any demographic. You never see a liquor store on every corner in their neighborhoods.

Ok...so why are there so many check cashing businesses? You don't see those in predominant white areas either?

Predatory practice. You see them anywhere the locals are not savvy about interest rates no matter the race and especially in white trash areas.

Yeah...not too savvy...that's a good term. Which may or may not be a key indicator that they may not be too savvy in other areas as well. Areas such as personal health...or maybe we can extend that to short term v. long term reward.
Those types of individuals may tend to imbibe more than is recommended?

In a different context, Shevrin Jones might have sounded like a spokesman for the National Rifle Association.

Just two days after hundreds of Parkland families cheered on Florida’s new gun restrictions, the West Park Democrat stood in front of nodding parents and children in a rec center and called the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act deeply flawed. After all, what good are extended waiting periods to South Florida’s minority communities when the shooters who terrorize their neighborhoods are often stealing weapons and buying them on the street?

“Our communities don’t care about whether you do a background check,” said Jones, a state representative. “Because we’re not going to the store to buy a gun. We’re going to buy them illegally.”

As South Florida lawmakers hosted a series of town hall events coordinated across the country this week in the hopes of furthering a renewed gun control movement, the tenor and tone of the gatherings — much like their relationship with guns — has varied from community to community. Less than 30 miles and 48 hours apart, events near Parkland and in Miami Gardens illustrated just how complex the problem of gun violence is, and why answers have been so elusive even among communities supporting the same party.

OK...well the point I am trying to understand is why can European and East Asian countries successfully control weapons but everyone else cannot? We can't just pawn the ALL off to weak government..or bad neighbors. Yet so many fail so horribly.

Name a country with a strong government capable of enforcing its strong gun regulation that has a higher gun crime and homicide rate than the U.S.

Also, why did you back off of endorsing Switzerland's gun laws?

Win-win, two low-lifes for the price of one investigation.

So why are they not on every corner in poor white trash neighborhoods?

I don't know. I have never examined the factors. Maybe because poor white trash areas do not tend to be urban. Take Appalachia for example. I believe four of the top ten poorest counties in the US are in Appalachia. They are overwhelmingly white. Black impoverished tend to live in more urban areas. As a matter of fact, outside of Kensington in Philadelphia, you wont find many white hoods...Kensington BTW is littered with liquor stores.

[Tijn Von Ingersleben]

Name a country with a strong government capable of enforcing its strong gun regulation that has a higher gun crime and homicide rate than the U.S

So every country that has a higher rate of gun violence has a weak government? Or bad neighbors?

Why would I continue to argue an invalid point?

Good grief, do you people ever take personal responsibility for your actions in life ?? It's so convenient to blame someone else everytime the crap hits the fan huh ? Pathetic.
