Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n
Liberals want to repeal the Second Amendment to stop gun violence. Seems to me the better solution is to repeal the Fourth Amendment.<\/p>\n
If cops can stop-and-frisk anybody at any time for any reason or no reason, then there is no worry about racial profiling so cops can take guns away from the 8% of the population that commits 50% of the murders: young Black men in dangerous neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
If cops can kick down any door at any time for any reason, they can disarm drug dealers who use firearms as tools of the trade, to defend their profits and kill poachers on their turf.<\/p>\n
And if cops get a report about 20-something losers with a grudge, they can swoop in to take firearms before the next school shooting begins.<\/p>\n
