When police seize a weapon from someone that feels they need a weapon to be safe then that creates a new set of circumstances that make our streets even more dangerous. The question should be: why don't we feel safe. NPR never asks those questions anymore.

"why don't we feel safe. " Because people are walking around with guns.

Kids used to bring their squirrel guns to school and set em in the corner when I went to school. Today there are 50 year old men living in their parent's basement popping Xanax and playing Call to Duty on their X-Box.

Yep, the world used to be completely insane and got getter.

Easy fix. Make guns legal like in Virginia. Allow lawful citizens the right to concealed carry. Felons and criminals with illegal guns should be punished. HARD. The right to self defense is THE MOST BASIC human right.

Uh. You can easily obtaib concealed carry in DC. It hasn’t been an “easy fix”.

True, but it’s a relatively new law. The real question is the balance between profiling, stop / frisk or neighborhood safety. If you don’t dress like a gangbanger you prob won’t get frisked.
-
So the government should be allowed to overstep and violate your civil rights through profiling if you “dress like a gangbanger?” That’s an interesting conservative take.

According to the FBI/DOJ 19 blacks are murdered every 24 hours across America by other blacks, that's almost 7,000 Black on Black murders a year and somehow the police are the bad guys for trying to get guns off the streets?

This plan needs implemented in Chicago and a dozen other cities.I still think incorrigible criminals should either stop committing crimes,or be kicked out forever. Rap sheets should be 3 crimes long for felonies.Then have the choice to ship them out.Then they want to import more?

More legal weapons in circulation means more illegal weapons in circulation. Where do you think illegal weapons come from? Storks? Nothing short of country wide gun laws can stop it.

It seems like the frisking PO may have been asking "is that a gun or are you happy to see me?"

I can understand this, at this point more dialog and positive gatherings might just help if not just a little..... but at this point now that this issue can't be overlooked, steps forward can really only mean more positive interactions over a long time is all that can happen.....
