@SeaGreenEyez Insanity is correct and probably where they should start

@Trajan61 Unfortunately, these 'law abiding' people turn into law breaking criminals at an alarming and escalating rate. Just like so many conservatives, control is non-existent. The concept of maintenance and being proactive escapes them. They can't even see their own hypocrisy in claiming pro (human)-life yet supporting the mass murder of people by firearms. The more rational people here can see right through the pro-gun BS.

@JackPedigo You are so full of crap! All of my friends are gun owners and none of them are criminals! Hell I don’t know if a single NRA member who became a criminal!

@Trajan61 Thanks for showing us your true colors.

@SeaGreenEyez I am surprised you sound off about jailing pot smokers etc in answer to Trajan61's post. You created a strawman's argument, and you are better than that.

OF COURSE we should not imprison pot smokers, but we should imprison everyone who uses a gun in the commisson of a crime.

NY already has some of the harshest gun laws in the country. Maybe they should use them.

@SeaGreenEyez As I know you know I have no way to stop or even slow police from arresting non-violet offenders. However that, in no way, affects the point of my 7/12 post.

I'll simplify my point. NY & Chicago already have very tough gun laws If they enforced those laws, I am sure illegal gun possession and murders would drop. Conversely Cuomo declaring a "gun violence health emergency" is nothing except showmanship. If Cuomo wants to eliminate illegal gun possession he already has, and has had the laws ot do that. Perhaps part of the problem is poor leadership.

@Trajan61 Exactly This asshole with his outrageous bail reform and the rest of his bullshit catering to criminals what do you expect

@Trajan61 They are all full of crap .Two of them disputed my evidence below that Democratic run cities have the highest violent crime rates per capita .

@godlessguy Hell those idiots don’t want to hear the truth especially if it doesn’t conform to their radical agenda!

@SeaGreenEyez Funny, it seems the biggest complaint is not about issues but simply liberals and democrats. I, for one am not a member (at least dues paying) democrat. Some issues of theirs are too extreme for me. I consider myself a rational centrist.

@JackPedigo is it a coincidence that the cities with the highest crime rates are Democratic run .This is not an opinion it is a fact .

@godlessguy I hear 'facts' being spouted by lots of people. Problem is they usually have nothing except words to back it up.

@SeaGreenEyez Thank you. Telling the 'true' facts sometimes takes a lot of work. Something these republican apologists are allergic to.

@JackPedigo I have evidence to back it up .Violent crime rate Per capita Is the criteria that should be utilized.

@SeaGreenEyez My criteria was violent crime rate per 1000 residents .For example the average crime rate per 1000 residents in Anchorage Alaska is 12

@godlessguy Thank you.Telling ‘the true’ facts sometimes takes a lot of work something these Democratic nitwits are allergic to

@godlessguy So a simple list proves nothing. SeaGreenEyes listing had the political leanings of the towns. Fine details can make a lot of difference.

@godlessguy The original message was about political leanings of crime ridden cities "is it a coincidence that the cities with the highest crime rates are Democratic run .This is not an opinion it is a fact ." Obviously that was NOT a fact. Please understand, many of us do know BS when we see it. Right now the FACT is that most bull crap comes from republicans.

I did not even address the comment to you you moron
