Senior Democrats in US cities are preparing to defend their communities in the event ofĀ Donald TrumpāsĀ return to the White House after the former president has repeated threats that he would use presidential powers to seize control of major urban centers.
Trump has proposed deploying the military inside major cities largely run byĀ DemocratsĀ to deal with protesters or to crush criminal gangs. He has threatened to dispatch large numbers of federal immigration agents to carry out mass deportations of undocumented people in so-called āsanctuaryā cities.
He also aims to obliterate the progressive criminal justice policies of left-leaning prosecutors.
āIn cities where there has been a complete breakdown of law and order ā¦ I will not hesitate to send in federal assets including the national guard until safety is restored,ā Trump says in the campaign platform for his bid to become the 47th US president,Ā Agenda47.
TrumpĀ provoked uproarĀ earlier this week when he called for US armed forces to be deployed against his political rivals ā āthe enemy withinā ā on election day next month. But his plans to use national guard troops and military personnel as a means to attack those he sees as his opponents go much wider than that, spanning entire cities with Democratic leadership.
Injured is still shot, does it make it any less of a shooting if the person survived?
Are you seriously arguing that we donāt have a gun problem because people survive?
The rest of you nitpicks seem to be just random nonsense.
First it was that some shootings donāt count because a gang was involved. Are the victims any less shot due to a gang being involved?
Then you say, but thatās not the definition of a mass shooting, people have to die for it to count. But are the survivors any less shot?
Then you ignore the fact that Australia implemented Gun Control. Say it again here, Gun Control. And look, no new mass shootings, regardless of the definition.
Buybacks and seizures to reduce the number of guns, and then strict controls on new purchases. A blueprint for functional gun control.
Unless that somehow doesnāt count, like all the people who have been shot that you just donāt seem to care about.
