Carnage on the streets, are guns the answer as well as the problem?

We are never going to disarm the criminal element… never.

So the question remains do we just accept the Carnage on our streets as inevitable OR do we come up with some way to protect those members of the victim class who currently cannot defend themselves from the predators that walk among them.

You may say that the slaughter of the innocents is just the price we must pay for our principles.

I say sometimes we should put our principles aside, no matter how emotionally unsatisfying it may be, and actually embrace programs and tactics that might save some lives, at least those lives that DESERVE to be saved.

And one tactic that should prove effective is to bite the bullet so to speak and address the imbalance in firepower that now exists on the streets of our inner cities.

A program  that allows the victim class access to the tools and tactics for self-defense coupled with profiling to identify and remove from society those of a criminal persuasion BEFORE they kill coupled with random stop and frisk to remove from society those predators who fall through the cracks should prove to be at least moderately effective.

Certainly MORE effective than Senator Tim Kaine’s wet dream  to ban civilian assault weapons.

Of course a ban.on civilian assault weaponry would be immensely emotionally satisfying. But as Senator Tim Kaine of the Commonwealth of Virginia well knows civilian assault weapons are not used to any measurable extent by the predator class running amok on the streets of our inner cities night after night after night.

In short let’s consider the Side of the Angels, the Voice of Reason.

Let us pay heed to the the ones among us who are offering suggestions that might actually SAVE some lives and not just carry water for the choir
