Arm homeless with shotguns to reduce crime, US Senate hopeful says

[FOX] A U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan has proposed a plan to arm homeless people with shotguns in a bid to reduce crime.

Brian Ellison, a Libertarian candidate who is expected to be the party’s candidate in the upcoming midterm elections, said homeless people are often at risk of becoming victims of violent crime and one way to prevent that is by providing them with firearms.

He would be challenging Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow for the U.S. Senate seat in November, if he wins the Libertarian Party’s candidate.

Ellison told the Guardian that although he thinks pistols for homeless people would be ideal, due to stringent gun laws, shotguns are the only alternative for them.

#3 Given that most of the homeless are refugees from the judiciary closed and shuttered asylums and given the number of noted shootings have been done by people of less than stable mental health, someone is lacking in the basic skills of analysis.

#7 Most folks in the homeless community don't trust each other at all and fighting amongst the group is a regular thing.

Perhaps this is Ellison's warped way of reducing that population and therefor reducing crime from that segment of society.
