Who are we kidding? It may have escaped his notice. but a shiploadMr. Presidenta shiploadof illegal immigrants ran aground on the beaches of Long Island earlier this year. And it wasnt the only such ship to reach our shores this year. If we cant stop organized criminal gangs from bringing in shiploads of people. how do we propose to stop them from bringing in shiploads of AK47s? In many cases. illegal alien smuggling gangs are involved in the drug trade. too. If we havent stopped aliens or drugs. how would we stop guns? All we do by pressing gun control is offer another false hope of urban peace to our constituents. while. in reality. the administrations implicit message of tolerance for drug useand concurrent programmatic cuts and redirectionspromise more violence in the future. not less.
