But this has to be the clearest case I've seen that liberal politicians believe the public is stupid, and that gun laws only affect the law-abiding citizen, not the punk-ass criminals that don't follow the law in the first place.

I've been working in the area for 11 years and things seem to have been going downhill since Street took office and Timoney left. I'm sure that's just my perception but I calls 'em like I sees 'em.

I guess the trick is to get the city investigated by Federal Authorities. I would also think that this is good election year ammunition to use against someone. Letting these guys go free all the time does benefit Democrats. These guys keep up the crime rate, which keeps people poorer, which makes the handouts that Democrats promise sound all the more attractive. It also enlists more into the world of crime which infects more families who then have a family member or members who might get put away if the Republicans ever come to power. You see, the Republicans aren't promising to put criminals in jail, instead they are promising to jail dads, brothers, sons.... Criminal Negligence.
