Trump has inserted the military in both LA and DC. He now plans to deploy them in Chicago because it is a “Killing Field”. I don’t agree with his showmanship, tactics and lies about the severity of the problem. Common sense would say spend the money on the police force and judges.
There is a much more effective way to stop violence! Gun Control. With Trump’s disregard for the constitution, he could declare an emergency and with his sharpie sign an executive order that:
- Outlaws all automatic guns
- Closes all gun shops
- Dry up all sources of ammo
- Makes it illegal for private citizens to sell/trade/gift guns
- Outlaws gun shows
- Makes it illegal to own any guns with a buyback program
- Etc…..
Of course, there’s too much money in the gun lobby and the gun nut voters to make this a reality. One can only dream that Trump would use his “kingly” powers to actually stop the killing fields.
