Libs, do you support 'Stop & Frisk' to get guns off the street, or are gun deaths not so big a deal to you after all?

So, there are “rights” that it is ok to deny citizens, just not the “right” to unlimited guns and ammo. Still, if we stop every 15th person or vehicle, regardless of distinguishing characteristics, fine. Of course, that would mean regressives would have a 1:15 chance of being stopped and frisked too. I am sure they will love that.

False premise assuming stop & frisk actually stops gun crimes, or is in some way getting to the root of the problem.
Stop and frisk is ineffective. I would support social/socioeconomic policies that reduce poverty, reduce corporate control over the job market and trade, and provide public programs for education and work training (for everyone, but with the intent of assisting historically redlined communities). And I'd potentially support prohibitive gun laws, or a buy-back program, to make help make the very premise of stop and frisk completely unnecessary (which, unlike stop and frisk, has been proven - in basically every other developed nation on the planet - to dramatically reduce gun crimes and the overall homicide rate).

I support taxes on bullets. Say $5 per bullet.
Why do you not support this? Are gun deaths, after all, not so big a deal to you personally?

Sure, there are only two options -- stop and frisk or many gun deaths. Why do cons address such stupid questions to liberals?

As a Active Duty Police Officer. I find the Stop and Frisk routine to work out
very well for the public that we serve and the personal safety of the officers
on the street. Stop and Frisk has more times then not saved lives.

Conservatives support gun control? This is new.

So stop and frisk is the only way to curb gun violence? You’ve got to be stupid. Gun deaths are down in NYC while stop and frisk has been dismantled.
The real way to stop gun violence: keep them out of the hands of angry lonely white men.
