| Having had a cup of coffee, what is this really intended to solve? What goes through these idiots minds when they propose stuff like this? I know there can be other hidden motives and objectives, but on the face of this, what is the intention? What is the typical, voting idiot expected to believe? It seems like if there is a problem, fix the problem. The problem is not victims of crime or unintended consequences. The problem is not the location of crime or who owns the location. The problem is something is compelling crime. Fix that. In the interim, remove from society those that commit crimes. The populace is the larger of criminals and government. The criminals are expanding. The government is doing nothing. This will come to a head eventually and the criminals and government will lose. Just another fucking morning these days.

| quote: 'The prevalence of firearms, coupled with limited gun control measures, further contributes to the overall crime rates in St. Louis,' real estate Norada wrote of the city.
It comes after a spate of violent attacks in the city, including the recent attack on fifteen-year-old Kaylee Gain earlier this month.
Gain was attacked on March 8 by another teenage girl who slammed her head into the pavement.  They don’t even have the good sense to separate the calls to blame the guns with an example that involved no gun.

Ummmm, why do you think biz owners should be held accountable for the crime and violence? Ummmm, no, firearms do not contribute, cause, instigate, compel, crime or anything in fact. No more than a dumb doorknob does. Crime happens because of criminals. Crimes don't happen because of guns, or knives, or fists or bats. Crime, you dipshit, can be inhibited with guns.

Have you been to (insert a city here). China or anyone else isn’t buying up vacant buildings. |

I'm going to default to a simpler position. These people that are running the show in cities, towns and communities like this aren't conspiratorial master-minds, they are simply too stupid to organize a bowel movement much less a workable solution to a problem.
