Rochester police and members of the clergy will be working out the final details this week to launch a citywide gun turn-in program at five churches on Saturday...My first thought: I wonder if Deloris is related to Homer.
"Most of our killings are caused by guns, and we're saying enough is enough"...
[Rev. Deloris] Simpson said many parents and grandparents know youths in their homes are carrying guns...
"In order for this to work, we have to have buy-in from the community," [District Attorney Mike] Green said. "If we only get one gun off the street Saturday, it'll be a successful day because that's a gun that might have been used in a homicide."
Overlooked is the very real fact that the homicides are "caused" by killers, that is, the juvenile parasites the parents/grandparents enable.
But blame the guns and make a show of getting them "off the street," while leaving the killers there. Then elect political bosses who will pledge more "gun control," ensuring a steady supply of goats for the jackals--and move all the pieces another step closer to total dependence on the state, that is, to a state of being totally controlled, that is, to a state of totalitarianism.
It might seem DA Green has a pretty bizarre notion of what constitutes "a successful day," but it has been for him. He's got the serfs thinking they owe him one, plus he got ink from his adoring lapdogs at the Democrat and Chronicle.
That can't hurt his political ambitions one bit. And so what if he's got to crush a little freedom along the way? It's not like the cattle he's in charge of herding and culling do anything to secure their own liberty.
