Almost anything that gives more power to the police and other law enforcement agents -- gun control, the war on drugs, counter-terrorist legislations, or whatever -- is, on the whole, not in the interest of Blacks in particular and the working class in general, even though many Black and working-class persons themselves often favor it. That's a tough subject that it probably won't be easy to turn into entertainment, but I hope someone will try someday.

Democrats like yourself might pay more attention to the doleful consequences of gun-control liberalism fur the electoral fortunes of the Democratic Party. -- Yoshie
