Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) wants you to excuse the behavior of young gangbangers.
The Texas liberal urged Congress last week,
“Don’t condemn the gangbangers.”
CNS News reported:
While pushing for more gun control legislation on the House floor, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said, “Don’t condemn the gangbangers, they’ve got guns that are trafficked.”
Jackson Lee took the House floor on April 9 to argue in favor of increased gun control legislation, “Don’t condemn the gangbangers, they’ve got guns that are trafficked — that are not enforced, that are straw purchased and they come into places even that have strong gun laws.”
“Why? Because we don’t have sensible gun legislation.”
Of course, most of the gun crimes are committed by young black males in the inner city. Think street gangs and drug crimes. But Democrats don’t want to focus on the real problem. It might look racist.
