Dumbest, most pointless crap ever

Police Chief Norm Jacobs of the Beloit, Wisconsin was bitten by the “good idea fairy” apparently and he wants to reduce gun crimes by asking citizens to volunteer to have their homes searched by the police for guns, according to NPR;

He…hopes the program will encourage people to think about gun violence as an infectious disease like Ebola, and a home inspection like a vaccine to help build up the city’s immune system.

“Gun violence is as serious as the Ebola virus is being represented in the media, and we should fight it using the tools that we’ve learned from our health providers,” he said.

Jacobs said he hopes some searches will result in the discovery of guns they didn’t know were in their own homes. He said that there’s also a chance they’ll find guns linked to crimes.

“That’s really what we’re looking for,” he said. “Maybe we’ll find a toy gun that’s been altered by a youngster in the house — and we know the tragedies that can occur there on occasion.”

It’s pointless, absolutely pointless. Does the chief think that criminals will call and ask the police to search for their guns? Who doesn’t know if there is a gun in their house? And, oh, yeah, let’s do it in the name of the children under the guise of protecting them from their toys. I know where all of the guns in my house are stored, I don’t need someone from the government to point them out to me. But then, the residents of Beloit aren’t all that bright anyway;

Melisha Holloway’s 20-year-old son Raymond…was killed in April. Holloway said too many young men have given up on school.

“Pretty much all those kids and young men just need to be is educated,” said Holloway. “You have a lot of them that barely read at a fifth-grade level yet they’re 25 year-old-men. But they know how to work a gun. There’s something wrong with that picture.”

Yeah, there is something wrong with that picture, mostly it has to do with parenting and succumbing to a corrupt culture. The police searching houses without guns in them isn’t going to help. The lack of parenting and the culture came from an over-arching government in the first place and surrendering to even more government meddling like this isn’t going to cure the problem. But, hey, at least they’ll all get to feel like they “did something, anything” to fix the problem.
