So you're saying that the Bloods and Crips target communities/states where the citizens are voting for stricter gun registration laws? Sorry, I don't buy that argument at all. Firsthand, I know that virtually every mid-size and large police department in the state of Kentucky opposed a bill passed by the General Assembly last session. The bill requires police departments to turn over to state police all handguns seized during the course of regular police work. The handguns then are sold at auction to gun dealers, and the money raised goes to buy bullet-proof vests for officers in the rural areas of the state. The police chiefs throughout the state said "No. This is a bad law." This runs counter to what you were saying in your post.
