    Yes, I’m serious.

    Virtually every criminology study performed over the past 50 years has universally found that the best method for reducing crime (especially gun violence) is access to high paying jobs, affordable housing, education, and common sense gun reform.

    If you are opposed to living wages, affordable housing, and education, that’s your call. Just please don’t be a hypocrite by calling yourself “anti-crime” when you’re actively advocating for policies that make it worse.

    Wow Bob are you serious?

    Bob, universal housing ? My foot. People living in these government subsidized places are responsible for most of these crimes. Guaranteed wages – whether you work or not? Another great idea…. Not saying that our elected officials are the best we have to offer – but what’s wrong with working and personal responsibility for your life?

    Our country has an epidemic of gun violence. There are meaningful steps that we could take to address that problem. We could pass common sense gun reform, provide addiction counseling, introduce universal housing, guarantee living wages, and reform our prison system to be rehabilitative.

    …but every election, the people of Escambia County overwhelmingly vote for the candidates that strongly oppose any of those measures.
