Police in Beloit are launching a new effort to reduce gun violence in which they’re asking city residents to volunteer to have police search their homes for guns.
Police Chief Norm Jacobs said he doesn’t expect the phone to be ringing off the hook with requests for police to search their homes. He nevertheless hopes the program will encourage people to think about gun violence as an infectious disease like Ebola, and a home inspection like a vaccine to help build up the city’s immune system.
My rationale is that they came up with this idea while dropping shots of the local moonshine, wrote a plane and actually decided to carry it out before hangover set in.
It is either that or there are a some serious idiots running that department.

Drunken idiots.
Cue sad trombone.
Jesus… how stupid must some people be. NEVER invite the police in to search. Does anybody honestly believe that they are going to just look for guns? I would put money on every search ending in an arrest or fine.
The police will start by looking for guns and end up finding that old bottle of Vicodin from when you had a root canal, and should have thrown the rest away, but you kept for the next time you threw out your back. That is a crime by they way.
Or maybe they will find the home repairs you did without getting a permit from the city. You name it, they will find a reason to cite you. This will end badly for everyone.
