We note that Mayor 'Corvair*' Johnson of Milwaukee wants Republicans to pass 'common sense' gun laws.
Let's see how well those worked in the State of Washington, shall we?
...Initiative 594 (pdf) [2014] imposes background checks on firearms purchasers and mandates that only licensed dealers may sell or transfer firearms to unlicensed persons.
Initiative Measure No. 1639 (pdf), [2018] filed on May 2, 2018, places restrictions on the purchase of “semiautomatic assault rifles,” requires the purchaser to have “undergone training within the past five years,” and subjects the purchaser to a waiting time between 10 to 60 business days. The law further mandates that gun dealers may not deliver a pistol to a purchaser “until the purchaser produces a valid concealed pistol license and the dealer has recorded the purchaser’s name, license number, and issuing agency” in “triplicate.”...
OK, then. Laws are on the books!! "Gun"-crime will STOP!!
Not.
...the report revealed there were 394 murders in 2022, an increase of 16.6 percent over 2021 and the highest number of murders since the Washington Association of Sheriffs & Police Chiefs (WASPC) began recording this data in 1980. In addition, homicides increased 96 percent since 2019 and violent crimes increase by 8.9 percent....
First thing: it is NOT "Gun Crime." It is Criminals-Crime.
After that, the solution ought to be pretty obvious, even to Corvair* Johnson.
*Corvair--the Chevy that was unsafe at any speed.
