    Maybe it's genes from my German ancestors who were farmers and Lutheran pastors.

    Also, Chicago will be focusing on time-tested “softer” approaches to youth violence, including connecting isolated young people with adult mentors, treating violence as a public health problem, offering new jobs programs for unemployed teens, and coordinating resources for at-risk kids in schools. Basketball has become a way to get gangs to meet and greet and cooperate and socialize.

    Good luck with that . You should really consider Stop and Frisk. NYC with a much bigger population has fewer murders . And before anyone who supports violations of the 2nd amendment gets on a soap box about 4th amendment violations ;stop and frisk has already been adjudicated in SCOTUS. (Terry v. Ohio)

    Its approval is very limited. So how does it stop anything? Is it just the thought they can be found out that is holding the perps at bay ?

    Yes ,it's approval is indeed limited ,but successful.

    There was a 19% decrease in the number of murders last year.
    NYC has had 414 murders so far in 2012, down 18.5%, NYPD credits

    The use went down as the murder rate dropped.

    I think it's the deterrence that makes a difference. Critics argue that it disproportionately targets minorities and minority communities. That may be true. But 2 factors should be considered . The 1st is that these areas are the high crime areas. Also it is the minority communities that are more often the victims of these murders. 90 percent of the persons murdered in New York are black or Hispanic young men, those are the people whose lives are being saved .

    Hello again,

    Why mess around with stop and frisk? I'd go full on police state.. That'll stop crime.. They're BOTH against the 4th Amendment, but if you're going to VIOLATE it, you might as well be EFFECTIVE..

    Not going to work.. not without a full on armed rebellion (that's WHY we have a 2nd amendment for in the first place). And not even most of the lefties are going to back that when the realize they aren't exempted from it.

    Unfortunately their problem won't be solved by more guns or less guns.

    That wouldn't be premeditated murder... that would be self defense... HUGE difference between the two.

    Very few places does the attacker HAVE to even have a weapon before you can use deadly force to protect yourself or property.

    Have you intentionally left something out of the sentence? Is there something that doesn't need to be included in this sentence?
