According to police, Franks was talking on his cell phone while sitting in his car on the parking lot of the Schlafly Tap Room on Locust
when two suspects approached his driver’s side door around 7:25 p.m.
One of the suspects pointed a gun at Franks, at which time he exited his
car and ran inside the Schlafly Tap Room.The suspects then drove Franks’ 2009 red Toyota Camry from the parking lot and out of sight.
They also reportedly stole a black handgun and two cell phones that were
inside the vehicle, police said. Franks sat down with KMOV's Lauren Trager to talk about the incident. "What hurts the most is that these are the same young people that I try to
help and I'll continue helping and more importantly, they look like me,"
Franks said.

Franks is the founder of a non-profit that try to help young people. He's already filed bills at the Capitol to address gun violence.

"We are not going to lock-up our way up out of this problem," he said.

They also reportedly stole a black handgun

"...Im glad to be alive, my car and phones and stuff are replaceable!..."


Notice the anti-gun POS fails to mention the handgun as part of his stolen 'stuff.'

Utter pap.

Go after gangs as criminal organizations. The police know who the problems are; stop going after the low-hanging fruit of simple possession and use and go after the violent criminals first. Stop having a revolving door justice system. Lock up people who commit violent crime and throw away the keys. Use a gun in a violent crime? Automatic twenty five years to be served consecutive to any other sentence.

We can eliminate the problem with long term prison sentences, but our esteemed politicians don't want to lock up their constituents' children. Re-election in more important than anything else.

I wonder how that part of it went down.

People who won't use a gun shouldn't carry one.

Like that should make a difference? 
He only wants white people to be robbed by people, "who look like him"?
Should I feel sorry for someone who thinks like he does?  I don't feel sorry.

Your car or truck is not a holster. Use this as a learning experience and realize you need to have your gun on your person at all times.
