literally double the rate of Memphis, #3 on the list.   

In Baltimore, you can kill a federal state's witness and probably not get caught.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Here's a gun control idea: 

Given that:  States are increasingly, and wisely, enacting laws that will allow the State to take someone's guns away if they are a threat to themselves or others.  Maryland passed one of these recently and others are doing so as well.

And also given that:  Any number of mass shootings have been perpetrated by folks who, after the fact, are revealed to have been off their fargin' rockers beforehand, and that people knew about it...

Time for Americans to start ratting out the crazies, en masse.  Flood police departments with calls about so-and-so, who has been arrested before for flipping out and beating someone up, and ask that they police take his guns.  Do this for your brother, your sister, you step father, etc.  Now that we can do this, we should be pushing people to call if they have even the slightest idea that an unhinged person is armed.  The former-Marine in Thousand Oaks couldn't have shot people up if his mother, who knew he was in bad shape, had called the cops.  Dude could have gotten some help, no one killed, etc.  Even if the troubled gun owner gets to keep his guns, the calls and requests for help will be recorded and over time as those called are ignored, we'll be able to hold them up as good evidence that more guns should be confiscated.  Or, even better, the calls will be heeded, guns taken away, people's lives saved.

Exactly.  I'm not crystal on these new "red flag" laws, but my current understanding is that the cops can't initiate a red flag removal of guns, only family members, significant others, etc. can do that.  The mother didn't ask for his guns to be taken away, so nothing was done.

How about we start asking, like..a lot?  How about Bloomberg spends some of his money on a PSA campaign that educates people about how these laws work, and encourage people to "if you see something, say something."

Good idea.

Something has to be done.

I wonder what the reaction is if some big wig af the NRA or a big recipient of their money has a family member killed in one of these shootings.

or maybe universal background checks and gun licenses/tests for anybody who wants to own one, like you would with a car. yearly inspections. we have rules in place to prevent dangerous drivers/vehicles from being on the road. maybe just maybe do the same thing with a gun, i dont know

It's not "or."  All those things too.  And more.  But I think people aren't appreciating how big these new laws could be.  People ought to be encouraged to use them, to report people, often.

Sorry.

Behave like a grown up and you'll be fine.

Stalk one of your daughter's girlfriends...we're comin' for your guns.
