David Axelrod blames the NRA for Chicago’s gun violence issues
Daily
Caller<http://dailycaller.com/2013/04/02/david-axelrod-blames-the-nra-for-chicagos-gun-violence-issues/>:
On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” former Obama advisor
David Axelrod said that *Chicago’s problems with gun violence would be
greatly improved if tougher gun control laws were passed at the federal
level*.
Axelrod cited a CBS
poll<http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57576433/poll-80-of-americans-unhappy-with-washington/?pageNum=2>from
last week that showed some deterioration in the public’s support for
stricter gun laws, but noted a portion of the poll that showed strong
support for universal background checks.
“I’ll tell you what I find remarkable, and not just that 90
percent, including 86 percent of Republicans support background checks. But
now they’re going after the trafficking laws — 86 percent of Americans
support the background checks, expanded background checks. And more than
90 percent, 86 percent of Republicans.”
“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough was astonished by the week-old
statistic. *But Axelrod went on to argue that it was lobbying efforts from
the NRA responsible for “young lives in places like Chicago.”*
“I just want to say this — I come from the city of Chicago,” Axelrod said.
“We know we have had a violence problem there. A lot of it has to do with
straw buyers arming street gangs. *There is no doubt and every law
enforcement person will tell you that stronger trafficking laws combined
with universal background checks would make a real difference.*”
*“People are afraid of the NRA and trading their jobs for young lives
in places like Chicago,”* he continued. “And it is a terrible blight. You
know, hopefully people will step up and do the right thing. It is
extraordinary to have all the country on one side and the Congress on the
other.”
Chicago already has some of the strictest gun control laws yet it does nothing
<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/04/01/chicago-gun-tax-a-piece-of-the-puzzle/>to
stop gun violence and gangs. But that doesn't matter to Axelrod. Typical
liberal, push for more control when existing controls don't work. And blame
someone else when the controls don't work.
