Following a weekend of four major shootings in 6 hours covering four cities, over two dozen Democratic mayors turned to the White House for solutions, asking President Joe Biden to push for tighter federal gun laws.
A total of 27 Democratic mayors sent a letter to Biden on Monday advocating for universal background checks, bans on so-called “assault weapons” and restrictions on gun sales.
They also want Biden to take on more “soft power interventions” by pouring money into the minority communities that bear the brunt of gun violence. |

Federal gun control (legislated, not bureaucratic) has gone as far as it's gonna go.
IT. AIN'T. GOIN'. NOWHERE.
Memo to Lightfoot et al: GET. YOUR. MIND. RIGHT.
Run your states/cities like DeSantis/Abbott.
Wise up, you idiots. |

P.S. -
It's "Democrat Mayors," not "Democratic Mayors."
So, THERE. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
