#1 Wet behind the ears staffer proposes: "How about an increased police presence and more passive detection of illegal guns held in the inner city where all the violence is occurring?"

Everyone turns and looks at him in silence. Boss shakes his head and makes note to begin termination paperwork. After a short lull the real conversation resumes and the usual ideas are barfed back onto the table to be stirred about one more time.

#2 Why do I get the feeling that simply enforcing existing laws is not on the list?

Oh... That's right, it might actually reduce the problem...

#6 Strengthening background checks won't amount to anything. Criminals do not voluntarily undergo background checks, only honest people fill out the
4473 and undergo a NICS check.

Put criminals behind bars and leave them there.

#9 Rambler, isn't melanin deficiency in combination with a Y chromosome is already a felony?

#10 Why should anyone listen to a corrupt administration that trafficked in illegal firearms to achieve a leftist political agenda with the intent of disarming the American people? The 2nd Amendment was written to protect the American people exactly from such overreaches.

#12 How about securing the border so there's no more cocaine, heroin and meth in Chicago?

#13 The O-Team says they will "re-classify" the criteria that determines a "gun-seller" requiring an FFL. Selective enforcement is one thing. It may be viewed as lawless or dereliction but this proposal is clearly an unconstitutional expansion of the law. Guess what...they know it and don't give a shit. It's because it's yet another phoney-baloney stunt that gives the appearence of action.
