You’ve got to let the police do their jobs, number one. Number two, you have to do a policy of stop and frisk. When you see a guy coming down the street and you can — the police know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know where they live. They know every one of them, the local police, and they’re great.

You got to let them do their job, stop and frisk, and take their gun away. You’ve got to do it. If somebody has because they have all these guns — you know, it’s very interesting, the toughest gun law, the toughest, by far, in the whole United States is in Chicago, and yet it’s the most — it’s —

Let all your Republican 2Aer friends and family know.

      I’m pretty sure the whole “the police know who they are, they know where they live, they know their middle name” bit means not-white-male.
      So, it’s a 3-way tug-of-war between gun fanaticism, their reincarnated jesus, and racism

        In my experience, if the police know who you are, where you live, etc, they also have a pretty good idea if you have a gun or not.

      It wouldn’t be the first time. Like when Black Panthers were enjoying their 2nd Amendment rights. All of a sudden Republicans jumped on gun control.

          Good point. A ruling rolled back while the Democrats are ruling (albeit by the Supreme Court which heavily weights towards Republican).

          The NRA must receive its blood sacrifice (and occasional payment from Russia).

      Funny how a few weeks ago he was asskissing the NRA and gun community

      Like anything with him, when the obvious happened now he’ll suddenly change his mind… and probably start saying something about Mexicans and “crooked Biden,” isn’t tough on crime which is why he got shot, etc
