It's hard to wrap your thinking around just how stupid this guy is. What is mind numbing is he will get votes.

Long live the public school system. Maybe they need more money and then the system will be smart.

BALTIMORE -- A mayoral candidate's plan to reduce violence in Baltimore includes a "bullet tax" that he said will increase the cost of committing a crime.

Otis Rolley said he would, if elected, propose a $1 per bullet tax on all bullet purchases in the city. He also said he wants to improve recruitment standards and training for the Baltimore City Police Department, work closely with the media to increase awareness of wanted suspects, and reduce the number of vacant properties.

Rolley released his plan Tuesday, citing recent holiday violence at the Inner Harbor and the city's reputation as one of the most violent in the country as reasons for change.

"It is unacceptable that too many of us feel unsafe in own city, own neighborhoods, even in our own homes," he said.

As for the bullet tax, Rolley said the measure would cause a decrease in "random firings that too often happen around holidays" and put a high price tag on the cost of committing a crime.

"While the courts have consistently ruled against significant gun control legislation, there is still a way to decrease crime: substantially increase the cost of its commission," Rolley's plan states.

"Increasing the cost of guns won't work, because many criminals don't purchase new guns, and they can be borrowed or even rented in some areas," his plan states.

Rolley, a Democrat, served as the city's planning director from 2003 to 2007.

The primary will be held in September.

Maybe they could pass a per-crime tax too. Each time they commit a crime,the owe a tax...
I'm sure they'd follow that to the letter of the law....

Excellent idea at the federal level! Hell, the monies paid by just the politicians would fund the entire federal budget. We'd never have a deficit!

With the crap which goes on in Baltimore, the moron may not do any worst that the last 5 mayors. All promise reform and to reduce crime and all have failed including a former mayor who is now Governor.

Baltimore has a giantic social problem with the majority of the residents. What a shame to allow many of the beautiful neighborhoods go to crap since the early 1960s.
