We don’t have a problem with guns

The Stupidity, it BURNS

We have a problem with phrases like this

Here’s his incarceration record. Keep scrolling down.

~~Thirty one arrests. And he was still walking around~~. [ Correction, he was walking around with 29 arrests ] And the Brady’s say a cash register is the best way to prevent Mr. 31 from doing harm.

Actually, he's been in the lockup since his 29th arrest, for driving a stolen car in a high speed chase from Charlotte, NC to Rock Hill, SC and back. It appears that what they are doing is tying robberies to him (or he's confessing).

I don't understand your last statement about the Bradys and cash registers.

Sean, Corrected.

The cash register reference is to the Bradys' insistence that a background check at the point of sale is a good idea because it prevents crime.

Oh! That makes sense.

Let's see, it's either:

A) Use social engineering in an unexpectedly effective manner to eliminate the circumstances which produce people like Mr. 31

B) Do the time-consuming legal research and have the state's attorneys build a case that will remove from society an actual menace to public safety

C) Blame guns

Let's see: (A) is impossible, (B) is too much work, so I guess it's going to be (C).

Here's the thing: by comparison to some I see, his record isn't actually all that bad. Top 5% of all cases, but maybe only the top 25% of the serious felony cases. The thing is that most of his priors are nonviolent and are theft crimes. It looks as though as soon as he got out, he did something to get himself put right back in.

Now, I don't know if North Carolina has suspended sentences that can be revoked. If so, then the DA was asleep at the wheel, as this guy should've been in a oonstant state of having time from his priors coming back.
