A recently released report evaluating the federally funded Project Safe Neighborhoods program in Virginia suggests that gun violence has risen steadily in Richmond since 2000.
The report, completed in January, also suggests that nearly two-thirds of Richmonders do not feel safer today than they did five years ago. And it concludes that six out of 10 city dwellers don't believe the aggressive media campaigns to raise awareness on gun violence have prevented people from carrying illegal firearms.
You boys care to back that turnip truck up so we can climb back on and fall off properly next time?
But, but, but...... that just proves that they haven't placed enough restrictions on the people not doing it. More laws, that's it more laws and more restrictions, oh, yeah and blame all the other counties and cities that don't have the problem. We didn't import the trouble by creating victims.... no, we made them peaceable, then everybody else exported their criminals, our criminals knew gun violence was against the law.
ReplyDeleteWe here in Richmond and the NRA have Project Exile, our criminals might kill you, but they would never take a chance on breaking the exile law. So it isn't our fault, we need some more legislation. Yeah, that's the ticket.
We can call it the Tribute to Peace Law. Every person must leave their paycheck at city designated locations for our unfortunate criminals to pick up, now that we have put them out of work with our other laws. That way we can insure peace. If they have the money, they don't need to rob and shoot.
Rapists? Murderers? Well they're just tacky. We can pass another law, maybe a lottery with specifically designated victims. We could call it the Virgin Sacrifice Law. If we can't find enough virgins we will designate them so as a matter of law, if not reality. Now that should provide the greatest good for the greatest number. Everybody gets what they want. Well, except for the virgins, but they have a civic duty to obey the law to help us ensure peace.
There! Problem solved.
