Thousands of white flowers were placed to draw attention to gun violence, Monday, March 7, 2022, in Houston. The Gun Violence Memorial was intended to remind people of the victims of gun violence. The installation is being put in place at Discover Green.Editorial: As gun deaths surge, it’s time to say ‘enough’ to Second Amendment absolutism
,” : As a home-owning citizen with two grown children and a deceased 17-year-old daughter taken by gun violence, I am very concerned for our safety from gun violence. I have come to believe that the best tactic to address the elevated level of gun violence is to create a constitutional amendment to allow “stop-and-frisk.”
I honestly can't imagine living in a community with even higher levels of gun violence than Houston. I don't understand peace-loving citizens who won't embrace trying to reduce the levels of gun violence through stop-and-frisk, as put into place by then-Mayor Bloomberg, who afterward was castigated for his policy for being discriminatory.
However, I lean toward supporting stop-and-frisk because I think the personal safety and quality of life of Americans would be improved if gun owners were expected to act within the laws regarding gun ownership and gun handling. The current environment of gun violence in this country creates threats to personal safety equivalent to what was found in the Wild West 150 years ago. I really don't understand how a civilized society tolerates this.
I say, add some statistical smarts to the stop-and-frisk process to level the playing field by targeting all people equally and we all would have a real workable solution to tame gun violence. My vote is to try “something” to hopefully reduce the illegal holding of a gun by fellow citizens. I don't really see any realistic options popping up anywhere else.
