I would like nothing better than to scream "Shut the **** up you whining little toad" in the face of the next Democrat-voting black person who goes on TV and blubbers about all the poor, innocent black teenagers being 'profiled' by the police.

New York > Chicago because, periodically for the past century and despite its inherent liberalism, New Yorkers will throw Democrats arses out of office if they screw things up to the point the awfulness can no longer be denied. Chicago won't -- like the frog in the pot of water where the heat is only slowly turned up, they're so locked into the status quo of the Democrats running things they refuse to jump out of the pot and would rather their city turn into Juarez north in terms of murder rates than do anything differently. (Of course the problem in New York is eventually, the liberals tend to forget why they threw the Democrats out in the first place, or why things turned around when they were out of office. As nanny-state as Bloomberg is, he wasn't dumb enough to gut Giuliani's police reforms. But with a mayoral election in November, we'll see if the city's voters opt for a candidate who supports those wanting to bring back the 1980s and early 90s.)

As a result, 10,000 homicides of minority victims have been averted since the early 1990s.

…this is a completely bogus statistic. An ass-pulled wonder.

Next we’ll be hearing “Papers? Show us your papers!”

Just say, “No comprende” and all will be good. If they think you might be here illegally, they’ll do everything in their power to avoid finding out for certain.

Yeah,
Let’s ignore that whole Fourth Amendment while we are ignoring so many others…

Next we’ll be hearing “Papers? Show us your papers!”

Even now, you can imagine proppressive eggheads huddled in a smoke filled room in the bowels of Washington, desperately trying to figure out a way to violate the 3rd Amendment, just so the Dear Liar can claim a clear sweep in the destruction of liberty.

If it’s supposedly the guns from outlying areas that are causing the problems

Why aren’t guns causing the same problem in other cites?

Other cities that don’t deny people the right of self-defense?

Clearly, It’s not a bunch of inanimate objects.

So stop trying to impose on everyone what has utterly failed in Chicago!

Whereas Chicago’s minority neighborhoods are awash in illegal guns, criminals in New York report leaving their guns at home or stashing them in ~~communal~~ Organizing for America locations--run by former ACORN staffers--to avoid being stopped with a gun on their person.

Fixed.

So, if you don’t enforce your laws, then only honest people follow them.

Shut up and register all of your guns!

Show us your papers!

If you are a hunter in Nebraska you are just as big a threat as the Obama voter in the South side of Chicago
