Juvenile Crime
In his latest phony public relations move, our governor wants to create a confrontation with Democrats over his proposals to address juvenile crime (Feb. 4). One question: Where was Gov. Crimefighter a few months ago, when Democrats in the Legislature voted to ban the sale of the junk guns that are favored by juvenile criminals?
Given the chance to address youth violence and save lives, Gov. Pete Wilson ignored the will of the majority of Californians and the legislative support of every major law enforcement organization. He decided instead to appease the radical right by vetoing this life-saving measure. Wilson’s hypocrisy apparently knows no bounds.
