Use black cops?

Back on point, what's extra fun about disarming poor people, is that they're still going to be living in places with tons of guns. So for the people who comply, they won't be any safer, and the decision will be obey the law, or disarm yourself for no reason.
It's funny how the conservative right remembers them as examples of things that go wrong, but never tries to improve their lifestyle. Two can play at that game!
Low qualifications on those poor people mean that they can only apply for low wage jobs... the same jobs that have been outsourced to China and India, because they can be even cheaper there.
Without income from jobs, the struggle for survival leads to crime and the need of guns.
As an example, a welfare state can ameliorate that by introducing an subsistence subsidy for people who have no job, while giving them incentives to find a job, typically, by keeping that subsidy a bit below minimum wage and only providing it for a certain period.
At the same time, somehow (and I don't know anything of US tax law to have an opinion) provide incentives for companies to set up shop in the country. Raising import taxes is one way.... goods made in China have to return to the states, somehow to be sold, right?
It's like all the policies that the "political left" wants implemented come together to form a cohesive peaceful whole thriving community...
