I'm always astounded at leaders who cling on to "feel good" ideas as if they're practical and rational.
This is just being illogical for the sake of being illogical.
It has nothing to do with pro or anti-gun control, left or right. It's just a childish idea and looks like citizens of Seattle are having none of what Mayor McGinn is talking about.
Again, how does one square the fact that death by guns has been on the down tick since the 60s with gun-control legislation?
If the data supported it, then by all means, politicians and advocates would be justified in exploring this option.
I wonder if that includes cops dropping by?
