What it \u003cem>can\u003c/em> do is cause voters to take a second look.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>If\u003c/em> it goes well, that is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President George W. Bush never quite lived down his response to Katrina, where he was photographed looking detached as Air Force One flew over New Orleans and later telling FEMA Director Michael Brown, “Brownie, you’re doing a \u003ca href=\"https://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/1230-01.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heckuva job\u003c/a>,” even as the crisis mounted and spun out of control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump got generally good marks for his handling of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. There, he mostly kept to a script.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not so in Puerto Rico, where images of him tossing out rolls of paper towels and telling victims that Puerto Rico had “thrown our budget a little out of whack” because of all the money the U.S. was spending, added to his image as being empathy-challenged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/915295343448911873\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t,” notes Republican consultant Sean Walsh, who worked in the White House press operation under President George H. W. Bush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the hardest things to do is to gauge what is the best time to come out,” Walsh said. “A presidential trip involves massive amounts of logistics — helicopters, Secret Service, local police departments.” Coming to a disaster zone too soon, he adds, just diverts essential resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I were advising the president,” Walsh said, “my counsel would be to let the situation stabilize a little bit and then I would say go to California — go see Jerry Brown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those partisan Democrats who can’t stomach the notion of Trump visiting under any circumstances, Schnur notes how the political pendulum swings.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘His handlers should make sure that if and when asked about how Napa wines compare to \u003cem>his\u003c/em> wines, he should exclusively focus on what the feds will be doing to help people.’\u003ccite>Democratic consultant Chris Lehane\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There will be Californians who don’t want Trump here even for something like this, just as some in deep-red states didn’t want President Obama to visit under similar circumstances,” Schnur said. “At a certain point, just as politicians should put aside partisanship during a crisis, so should voters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Nurses Association is one of the most effective organizers of political protests. CNA spokesman Chuck Idelson declined to say whether his group would use a California visit by Trump to make a political statement, adding “even though we view \u003cem>him\u003c/em> as a disaster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Trump’s coming here, someone needs to challenge him on his climate denial, backing out of the Paris agreement and having an EPA director at war with the planet,” Idelson said, noting climate change is contributing to the hot, dry conditions that are fueling wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone should be optimizing for helping people and appealing to their better angels,” says Democratic communications consultant Chris Lehane.

In many ways, it mirrors how Trump now approaches the presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way he did business in Rancho Palos Verdes was to fight. He sued the local public school district and the city government and publicly insulted an opposing lawyer, who now happens to be on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has been crucial to legal battles over Trump's policies as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lawsuit against the public school district\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year after he arrived in Rancho Palos Verdes, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-trump-tries-to-lock-school-district-out-of-2003dec03-story.html\">sued the local public school district\u003c/a> over a land dispute. The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District had essentially been leasing part of its land to the previous owner of the golf course. When Trump took ownership of the property — and thus took over that agreement — he fought the district over how much that land was worth, and when the golf course would start paying fees. In late 2003, Trump sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ira Toibin, the superintendent of the school district at the time, says the district worried about the lawsuit's effect on its budget, especially when the schools needed to make repairs to aging facilities. After almost a year, Toibin says, the lawsuit had cost the district at least $100,000 in legal fees — the equivalent of two teachers' annual salaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Milan Smith, who represented the school district in the lawsuit, \"just rubbed [Trump] the wrong way,\" Toibin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith also had some choice words for the future president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview at the time with the \u003ca href=\"http://archive.easyreadernews.com/story.php?StoryID=20023338&IssuePath=\">Easy Reader News\u003c/a>, a small Southern California news outlet, Smith called Trump \"pompous\" and \"arrogant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have never had any contact with any human being who appears to be so self-absorbed and so impressed with himself,\" Smith said, according to the \u003cem>Easy Reader\u003c/em>. \"He's kind of like a big bag of wind.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit was settled in 2004, and the Trump Organization agreed to pay the district $5 million in return for ownership of the land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump later \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailybulletin.com/2008/12/25/fridays-letters-to-the-editor-2/\">said that he \"won\" the lawsuit\u003c/a> \"through a very favorable settlement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A public celebration ends with a public insult\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money was settled, but for Trump, the grievance with attorney Milan Smith was not. And when Trump had a chance to revisit the lawsuit in front of the media, residents and local officials, he took it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was supposed to be a day of celebration on Jan. 14, 2005: Trump was hosting a ribbon-cutting for new luxury homes at the golf club. About a half-dozen TV cameras from outlets like CNBC and E! Entertainment Television stood in the back of a packed room, their lenses on Trump, who sat alongside the hopeful and excited local mayor and members of City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Trump started talking about the old lawsuit and called Smith \"an obnoxious a******.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11622796\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/gettyimages-51971961_custom-856224ab3873371f5f7ec97939c9411012aab5e2-800x467.jpg\" alt=\"At the January 2005 groundbreaking of the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, the future president reportedly brought up an old lawsuit and used profanity.\" width=\"800\" height=\"467\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11622796\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the January 2005 groundbreaking of the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, the future president reportedly brought up an old lawsuit and used profanity. \u003ccite>(Matthew Simmons/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>(NPR was unable to find recordings of the event, but the quote was reported by local newspaper \u003cem>The Daily Breeze\u003c/em> and recalled to NPR by three people in the room.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That, I would say, was the moment when I think I realized that the relationship between the city and the Trump organization might well have some significant problems,\" says former Councilman Long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to a request for comment, White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters said in an email, \"You will need to contact the Trump Organization.\" The Trump Organization did not respond to NPR's phone calls, emails, letters or fax message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A series of spats\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the relationship between Rancho Palos Verdes and the Trump Organization became much more contentious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a debate over the size of the 70-foot-tall flagpole that Trump erected at the golf course in 2006 to fly the American flag. A year later, Trump grew 10-foot ficus trees to block houses he thought were ugly. Those plants blocked residents' views of the ocean, which impact property values in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to mediate the shrubbery dispute, members of the City Council went with Trump to visit one of the homeowners. According to a former City Council member, who was not there but heard about the meeting through colleagues, Trump walked in, \"looks around the place and he looks at [the homeowner] and he says, 'This looks like s***.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And then he's doing this, by the way, in order to get these people to accept his offer of putting up his ficus trees and being OK,\" former councilman Steve Wolowicz says. \"Gives you a little insight to the kind of person that he — he appeared to be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR talked to three people who were present at the meeting and who requested anonymity. Like several people we talked to for this story, they voiced concern about being sued by Trump. Two of them confirmed Wolowicz's account. The third remembers Trump saying, \"Your house is ugly. My customers should not have to look at your ugly house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there was a fight over new construction on the property, which led to another lawsuit. And while the city was ready for another row, new members of the council eventually encouraged the city to take a different tack: try giving Trump some of what he wanted. In 2012, the city agreed to Trump's longtime demand that the road leading to the golf club be renamed Trump National Drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly thereafter, the lawsuit was settled. Trump didn't get everything he asked for. But he did get one thing: that street sign with his name on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>From businessman to president\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fighting and the insults haven't stopped since Trump reached the Oval Office. His blunt nature is part of why people voted to put him there in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Trump's targets: the judicial branch, \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/02/16/remarks-president-trump-press-conference\">particularly the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals\u003c/a>, which ruled against his administration's travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's on that same appeals court that Smith, the school district's attorney who was once the target of Trump's insult, now sits. Smith was nominated to the position by President George W. Bush and unanimously \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/nomination/109th-congress/1327\">confirmed by the Senate in 2006\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith did not rule on any of the travel ban cases, says David Madden, assistant circuit executive with the appeals court. And even if he had, Madden wrote in an email, that wouldn't be a problem. Asked whether Smith's history with Trump posed any conflict of interest issues for that case or any other case that may come before the court, Madden wrote simply, \"no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kathleen Clark, a professor at Washington University School of Law, says Smith's prior comments about Trump might raise questions for lawyers arguing before the judge. On the other hand, Clark says, Trump's insults toward Smith would likely not play a role in any question of recusal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Trump's comments raising any conflicts, that question may be unique to this president, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can't think of any president, who has acted the way our current president is acting with regard to the name-calling of judges,\" says Clark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

In many ways, it mirrors how Trump now approaches the presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way he did business in Rancho Palos Verdes was to fight. He sued the local public school district and the city government and publicly insulted an opposing lawyer, who now happens to be on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has been crucial to legal battles over Trump's policies as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lawsuit against the public school district\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year after he arrived in Rancho Palos Verdes, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-trump-tries-to-lock-school-district-out-of-2003dec03-story.html\">sued the local public school district\u003c/a> over a land dispute. The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District had essentially been leasing part of its land to the previous owner of the golf course. When Trump took ownership of the property — and thus took over that agreement — he fought the district over how much that land was worth, and when the golf course would start paying fees. In late 2003, Trump sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ira Toibin, the superintendent of the school district at the time, says the district worried about the lawsuit's effect on its budget, especially when the schools needed to make repairs to aging facilities. After almost a year, Toibin says, the lawsuit had cost the district at least $100,000 in legal fees — the equivalent of two teachers' annual salaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Milan Smith, who represented the school district in the lawsuit, \"just rubbed [Trump] the wrong way,\" Toibin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith also had some choice words for the future president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview at the time with the \u003ca href=\"http://archive.easyreadernews.com/story.php?StoryID=20023338&IssuePath=\">Easy Reader News\u003c/a>, a small Southern California news outlet, Smith called Trump \"pompous\" and \"arrogant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have never had any contact with any human being who appears to be so self-absorbed and so impressed with himself,\" Smith said, according to the \u003cem>Easy Reader\u003c/em>. \"He's kind of like a big bag of wind.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit was settled in 2004, and the Trump Organization agreed to pay the district $5 million in return for ownership of the land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump later \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailybulletin.com/2008/12/25/fridays-letters-to-the-editor-2/\">said that he \"won\" the lawsuit\u003c/a> \"through a very favorable settlement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A public celebration ends with a public insult\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money was settled, but for Trump, the grievance with attorney Milan Smith was not. And when Trump had a chance to revisit the lawsuit in front of the media, residents and local officials, he took it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was supposed to be a day of celebration on Jan. 14, 2005: Trump was hosting a ribbon-cutting for new luxury homes at the golf club. About a half-dozen TV cameras from outlets like CNBC and E! Entertainment Television stood in the back of a packed room, their lenses on Trump, who sat alongside the hopeful and excited local mayor and members of City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Trump started talking about the old lawsuit and called Smith \"an obnoxious a******.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11622796\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/gettyimages-51971961_custom-856224ab3873371f5f7ec97939c9411012aab5e2-800x467.jpg\" alt=\"At the January 2005 groundbreaking of the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, the future president reportedly brought up an old lawsuit and used profanity.\" width=\"800\" height=\"467\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11622796\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the January 2005 groundbreaking of the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, the future president reportedly brought up an old lawsuit and used profanity. \u003ccite>(Matthew Simmons/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>(NPR was unable to find recordings of the event, but the quote was reported by local newspaper \u003cem>The Daily Breeze\u003c/em> and recalled to NPR by three people in the room.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That, I would say, was the moment when I think I realized that the relationship between the city and the Trump organization might well have some significant problems,\" says former Councilman Long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to a request for comment, White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters said in an email, \"You will need to contact the Trump Organization.\" The Trump Organization did not respond to NPR's phone calls, emails, letters or fax message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A series of spats\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the relationship between Rancho Palos Verdes and the Trump Organization became much more contentious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a debate over the size of the 70-foot-tall flagpole that Trump erected at the golf course in 2006 to fly the American flag. A year later, Trump grew 10-foot ficus trees to block houses he thought were ugly. Those plants blocked residents' views of the ocean, which impact property values in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to mediate the shrubbery dispute, members of the City Council went with Trump to visit one of the homeowners. According to a former City Council member, who was not there but heard about the meeting through colleagues, Trump walked in, \"looks around the place and he looks at [the homeowner] and he says, 'This looks like s***.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And then he's doing this, by the way, in order to get these people to accept his offer of putting up his ficus trees and being OK,\" former councilman Steve Wolowicz says. \"Gives you a little insight to the kind of person that he — he appeared to be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR talked to three people who were present at the meeting and who requested anonymity. Like several people we talked to for this story, they voiced concern about being sued by Trump. Two of them confirmed Wolowicz's account. The third remembers Trump saying, \"Your house is ugly. My customers should not have to look at your ugly house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there was a fight over new construction on the property, which led to another lawsuit. And while the city was ready for another row, new members of the council eventually encouraged the city to take a different tack: try giving Trump some of what he wanted. In 2012, the city agreed to Trump's longtime demand that the road leading to the golf club be renamed Trump National Drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly thereafter, the lawsuit was settled. Trump didn't get everything he asked for. But he did get one thing: that street sign with his name on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>From businessman to president\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fighting and the insults haven't stopped since Trump reached the Oval Office. His blunt nature is part of why people voted to put him there in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Trump's targets: the judicial branch, \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/02/16/remarks-president-trump-press-conference\">particularly the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals\u003c/a>, which ruled against his administration's travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's on that same appeals court that Smith, the school district's attorney who was once the target of Trump's insult, now sits. Smith was nominated to the position by President George W. Bush and unanimously \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/nomination/109th-congress/1327\">confirmed by the Senate in 2006\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith did not rule on any of the travel ban cases, says David Madden, assistant circuit executive with the appeals court. And even if he had, Madden wrote in an email, that wouldn't be a problem. Asked whether Smith's history with Trump posed any conflict of interest issues for that case or any other case that may come before the court, Madden wrote simply, \"no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kathleen Clark, a professor at Washington University School of Law, says Smith's prior comments about Trump might raise questions for lawyers arguing before the judge. On the other hand, Clark says, Trump's insults toward Smith would likely not play a role in any question of recusal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Trump's comments raising any conflicts, that question may be unique to this president, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s an anecdote,” said Philip Cook, a professor of public policy studies at Duke University. “They might have pointed to Washington, D.C., back in the days when D.C. banned handguns and yet had high gun-violence rates.

A \u003ca href=\"http://home.uchicago.edu/ludwigj/papers/JCrimLC%202015%20Guns%20in%20Chicago.pdf\">2015 study\u003c/a> of guns in Chicago, co-authored by Cook, found that more than 60 percent of new guns used in Chicago gang-related crimes and 31.6 percent used in non-gang-related crimes between 2009 and 2013 were bought in other states. Indiana was a particularly heavy supplier, providing nearly one-third of the gang guns and nearly one-fifth of the non-gang guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘No one’s in a position to say that Chicago’s various special regulations and Illinois’s regulations are doing no good.’\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Philip Cook, Duke University professor\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Other evidence corroborates this — a \u003ca href=\"http://www.chicagobusiness.com/Assets/downloads/20151102-Tracing-Guns.pdf\">2014 Chicago Police Department report\u003c/a> found that Indiana accounted for 19 percent of all guns recovered by the department between 2009 and 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New firearms trace data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives released last week likewise shows that Illinois as a whole faces a massive influx of guns. Of around 8,700 firearms recovered in Illinois and for which the bureau found a source state, more than half came from out of state — 1,366, nearly 16 percent, came from Indiana alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By comparison, 82 percent of guns recovered in Indiana and traced were from within Indiana, suggesting that criminals in that state don’t have to cross state lines, like those in Illinois, to get their weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this might suggest that criminals will just go to whatever lengths necessary get their hands on guns, regardless of whatever laws are in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s the wrong way to think about it, Cook said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one’s in a position to say that Chicago’s various special regulations and Illinois’s regulations are doing no good,” he said, “because we don’t know what the homicide rate would be in the absence of those.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sources:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://gunlawscorecard.org/\">2016 Gun Law State Scorecard\u003c/a>.

She also said that having gun regulations “certainly hasn’t helped” in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a much more controversial claim — and it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State lines don’t stop guns\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to remember here that Chicago is very close to two states that have relatively \u003cem>weak\u003c/em> gun laws: Wisconsin and Indiana. So while it’s easy to pick on Chicago (or any other high-crime city) for its ugly statistics, says one expert, taking bordering states into account weakens this gun-advocacy talking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a scientific study. It’s an anecdote,” said Philip Cook, a professor of public policy studies at Duke University. “They might have pointed to Washington, D.C., back in the days when D.C. banned handguns and yet had high gun-violence rates. Those bans are only at best partially effective, because the borders are permeable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>D.C. borders Virginia, which does not have strong gun laws. (It gets a D from the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither Wisconsin nor Indiana requires licenses or permits to purchase a gun, for example, nor do they require waiting periods. While Illinois has that B+ rating from the law center, Wisconsin has a C- and Indiana a D-.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s good evidence that being next door to those states keeps Chicago criminals well-supplied with guns. A \u003ca href=\"http://home.uchicago.edu/ludwigj/papers/JCrimLC%202015%20Guns%20in%20Chicago.pdf\">2015 study\u003c/a> of guns in Chicago, co-authored by Cook, found that more than 60 percent of new guns used in Chicago gang-related crimes and 31.6 percent used in non-gang-related crimes between 2009 and 2013 were bought in other states. Indiana was a particularly heavy supplier, providing nearly one-third of the gang guns and nearly one-fifth of the non-gang guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘No one’s in a position to say that Chicago’s various special regulations and Illinois’s regulations are doing no good.’\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Philip Cook, Duke University professor\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Other evidence corroborates this — a \u003ca href=\"http://www.chicagobusiness.com/Assets/downloads/20151102-Tracing-Guns.pdf\">2014 Chicago Police Department report\u003c/a> found that Indiana accounted for 19 percent of all guns recovered by the department between 2009 and 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New firearms trace data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives released last week likewise shows that Illinois as a whole faces a massive influx of guns. Of around 8,700 firearms recovered in Illinois and for which the bureau found a source state, more than half came from out of state — 1,366, nearly 16 percent, came from Indiana alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By comparison, 82 percent of guns recovered in Indiana and traced were from within Indiana, suggesting that criminals in that state don’t have to cross state lines, like those in Illinois, to get their weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this might suggest that criminals will just go to whatever lengths necessary get their hands on guns, regardless of whatever laws are in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s the wrong way to think about it, Cook said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one’s in a position to say that Chicago’s various special regulations and Illinois’s regulations are doing no good,” he said, “because we don’t know what the homicide rate would be in the absence of those.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sources:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://gunlawscorecard.org/\">2016 Gun Law State Scorecard\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>President Trump and congressional Republicans have pitched their tax plan as a boost for the middle class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rich will not be gaining at all with this plan,” Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/13/trump-rich-people-tax-plan-242671\">told reporters\u003c/a> during a meeting with lawmakers in mid-September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But analysts at the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/preliminary-analysis-unified-framework\">Tax Policy Center\u003c/a> who studied the proposal reached a very different conclusion. They predict that nearly three-quarters of the savings from the tax overhaul would go to the top 20 percent of earners — those making more than $149,000. More than half the savings would go to the top 1 percent — people who earn more than $732,800. The tax breaks are even more tilted to the wealthy by the 10th year of the overhaul, when the Tax Policy Center projects nearly 80 percent of the savings would go to the top 1 percent of earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administration officials have tried to discredit the center’s analysis, noting the tax plan is so far just a framework with many of the details still to be filled in by Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I can tell you is that no one can make real detailed analysis of the plan yet, because it’s not finished,” White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center analysts acknowledge having to make some assumptions as they did their review. They based those assumptions on reasonable sources, including past Republican tax blueprints and the administration’s own April outline. [contextly_sidebar id=”tbMQxje1qZePfC3FUyqtynUOW4nPGvpQ”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has promised to revise its forecast as lawmakers fill in the blanks of the tax plan. But the big picture is not likely to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be hard to mold this into something where the middle class is the big winner. And the reason for that, or course, is that the upper-income earners are those that pay the most in taxes,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “If you’re going to reform the tax code, a lot of times it’s going to be the people who pay the most taxes who end up with those bigger breaks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wins for middle class appear largely indirect\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax benefits for the rich in the GOP plan are direct, obvious and easily quantified. Many of the promised benefits for the middle class, on the other hand, are indirect, speculative and uncertain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the wealthy, the government is promising to cut their tax bill directly, by offering a lower-income tax rate and by doing away with targeted levies such as the alternative minimum tax and the estate tax. The AMT hits only upper-income taxpayers and the estate tax hits only people with nearly $5.5 million in assets (or nearly $11 million for married couples). The Tax Policy Center says eliminating those taxes provides a direct $678 billion benefit to top earners over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many middle-class families would also benefit from a lower-income tax rate, but their savings would be dwarfed by those the wealthy enjoy. The Tax Policy Center estimates the average middle-class taxpayer would get a break of $940 from the GOP plan next year, while a taxpayer in the top 1 percent would save $146,470. For those on the lower rungs of the income ladder, the Republican plan actually boosts the tax rate from 10 to 12 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a GOP tax plan?” tweeted an incredulous Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Monday, noting the Tax Policy Center’s projection that nearly 30 percent of middle-class families could see their tax bills rise by decade’s end. “I hope the final details are better than this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is a GOP tax plan? Possibly 30% of middle class gets a tax hike? I hope the final details are better than this. \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/lcjkI4YRz8\">https://t.co/lcjkI4YRz8\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RandPaul/status/914928161498046464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So how do the tax plan’s supporters claim that it’s focused on the middle class? By highlighting speculative, indirect gains that are supposed to result from economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a revolutionary change,” Trump said in announcing the plan in Indiana last week. “The biggest winners will be the everyday American workers as jobs start pouring into our country, as companies start competing for American labor, and as wages start going up at levels that you haven’t seen in many years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., makes a similar claim. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that is all about more jobs, fairer taxes and bigger paychecks for American families,” Ryan told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than simply promise that the government will cut the tax bill for working families — many of whom pay little income tax already — the GOP is arguing that its tax plan will promote growth, which in turn will boost employment, and over time result in higher wages. Break any link of that chain and the middle-class “winnings” end up in someone else’s pocket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cut to corporate tax rate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A centerpiece of the GOP plan is a deep cut in the corporate tax rate, from 35 percent to 20 percent. The Tax Policy Center estimates that provision, along with repeal of the corporate AMT, would save corporations nearly $2 trillion over the next decade. Where would that money go? Traditionally, it’s been assumed that most of the savings of a corporate tax cut go to business owners or shareholders, who tend to be upper income. But some portion also goes to workers in the form of higher wages. How those spoils are divided determines the big winner when corporate taxes are reduced. [contextly_sidebar id=”RaSpIKeNoRVD0kyTMDeGfcxR5ofphrMU”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters at the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation, for example, assume that about three-quarters of the savings from a corporate tax cut goes to shareholders, while the remaining one-quarter goes to workers. Until recently, the Treasury Department assumed a similar breakdown, with owners taking the lion’s share and workers receiving about 18 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration argues that a much larger share of corporate tax cuts — 70 percent or more — will ultimately flow to workers. That’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.factcheck.org/2017/09/benefits-corporate-tax-cut/\">far from a consensus view\u003c/a>, but it’s the position advocated by \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/publication/a-spatial-model-of-corporate-tax-incidence/\">Kevin Hassett\u003c/a>, an economist formerly with the conservative American Enterprise Institute who now chairs Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers. If Hassett is correct, that would shift more of the $2 trillion in savings from the corporate tax cut down the income ladder, from wealthy shareholders to middle-class employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standard deduction vs. personal exemptions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of the GOP plan say many middle- and working-class families would benefit from the near doubling of the standard deduction. That would exempt the first $12,000 of earnings for individuals and $24,000 for couples from income tax. The higher standard deduction would also free many taxpayers from having to itemize, making tax filing simpler. But while Republicans want to expand this tax break, they’re planning to take away many others, including personal and dependent exemptions, which reduce taxable income by $4,050 for each taxpayer, spouse and dependent in a household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This combination could leave a couple with two children worse off. Their standard deduction would increase by $11,300 (from $12,700 to $24,000). But their four exemptions, totaling $16,200, would disappear, leaving them with more taxable income and a higher tax bill. For couples with three or more children, the situation is potentially worse. This might be offset by a larger child tax credit Republicans have promised, but that depends on details that have not yet been worked out. In addition, taxpayers who continue to itemize would lose their personal exemptions without the offsetting benefit of a larger standard deduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center estimates that boosting the standard deduction will leave an extra $830 billion in taxpayers’ pockets over the next decade, while eliminating personal and dependent exemptions will increase taxes by $1.6 trillion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State and local tax deduction\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have promised to preserve the tax deductions for mortgage interest and charitable giving, along with unspecified tax incentives for retirement savings, work and higher education. Most other tax breaks are on the chopping block, but the only one that lawmakers and the administration have singled out for elimination is the deduction for state and local taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘One of the things we’re trying to do is eliminate lots and lots of deductions.’\u003ccite>Steven Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“One of the things we’re trying to do is eliminate lots and lots of deductions,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “One of those deductions is about getting the federal government out of the business of subsidizing the states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If state and local taxes were no longer deductible, the federal government would collect an extra $1.3 trillion over the next decade, according to Tax Policy Center. The move would particularly hurt taxpayers in relatively high-tax states, many of which lean Democratic. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/state-and-local-tax-deduction-primer/\">Tax Foundation\u003c/a>, more than half the total value of the deduction is claimed by taxpayers in just six states — California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas and Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the exception of Texas, all of those are blue states. But as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., points out, there are many taxpayers in GOP districts who would be unhappy to see the deduction for state and local taxes taken away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess is you’re going to have 30, 40, 50 Congress members — Republican — who say, ‘I can’t vote for this because it raises taxes on my core constituency,’ ” Schumer said on Sept. 27, the day the plan was released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The role of economic growth \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration and congressional Republicans describe their tax plan as a key ingredient in the recipe for faster economic growth. They’re counting on that to boost federal revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe there will be $2 trillion of additional growth” over the next decade, Mnuchin told ABC’s “This Week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many independent observers think that’s overly optimistic, especially with the economy near full employment, an aging workforce and an administration determined to limit immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.’\u003ccite>Maya MacGuineas, President, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen a lot of modeling of tax plans before and we’ve seen what’s happened when we’ve reformed the tax code before,” said MacGuineas. “You can grow the economy by — perhaps if it’s done well — a couple of additional tenths-of-a percent of GDP. And that would be great. We should celebrate getting that done. But we should also be realistic and we shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center says it expects the GOP plan would have “little macroeconomic feedback effect on revenues over the first decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Effect on deficits and debt\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax cuts in the GOP proposal would reduce government revenues by trillions of dollars. Some of that would be offset by closing (mostly unspecified) loopholes. But the Tax Policy Center still predicts an extra $2.4 trillion in red ink over the next decade. If Republicans’ promised level of economic growth fails to materialize, all of that would be added to the federal debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That worries deficit hawks like Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. He expects to raise some revenue by eliminating tax breaks and through economic growth. But Corker told NBC’s Chuck Todd that he’s not willing to put the balance on the government’s credit card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it looks like to me, Chuck, we’re adding one penny to the deficit, I am not going to be for it, OK?” said Corker, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/09/26/553798939/tennessee-republican-sen-bob-corker-wont-seek-reelection-in-2018\">who is not planning to run for re-election\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a narrow two-vote majority in the Senate, Republicans can ill afford further defections.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They based those assumptions on reasonable sources, including past Republican tax blueprints and the administration’s own April outline. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has promised to revise its forecast as lawmakers fill in the blanks of the tax plan. But the big picture is not likely to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be hard to mold this into something where the middle class is the big winner. And the reason for that, or course, is that the upper-income earners are those that pay the most in taxes,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “If you’re going to reform the tax code, a lot of times it’s going to be the people who pay the most taxes who end up with those bigger breaks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wins for middle class appear largely indirect\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax benefits for the rich in the GOP plan are direct, obvious and easily quantified. Many of the promised benefits for the middle class, on the other hand, are indirect, speculative and uncertain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the wealthy, the government is promising to cut their tax bill directly, by offering a lower-income tax rate and by doing away with targeted levies such as the alternative minimum tax and the estate tax. The AMT hits only upper-income taxpayers and the estate tax hits only people with nearly $5.5 million in assets (or nearly $11 million for married couples). The Tax Policy Center says eliminating those taxes provides a direct $678 billion benefit to top earners over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many middle-class families would also benefit from a lower-income tax rate, but their savings would be dwarfed by those the wealthy enjoy. The Tax Policy Center estimates the average middle-class taxpayer would get a break of $940 from the GOP plan next year, while a taxpayer in the top 1 percent would save $146,470. For those on the lower rungs of the income ladder, the Republican plan actually boosts the tax rate from 10 to 12 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a GOP tax plan?” tweeted an incredulous Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Monday, noting the Tax Policy Center’s projection that nearly 30 percent of middle-class families could see their tax bills rise by decade’s end. “I hope the final details are better than this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is a GOP tax plan? Possibly 30% of middle class gets a tax hike? I hope the final details are better than this. \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/lcjkI4YRz8\">https://t.co/lcjkI4YRz8\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RandPaul/status/914928161498046464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So how do the tax plan’s supporters claim that it’s focused on the middle class? By highlighting speculative, indirect gains that are supposed to result from economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a revolutionary change,” Trump said in announcing the plan in Indiana last week. “The biggest winners will be the everyday American workers as jobs start pouring into our country, as companies start competing for American labor, and as wages start going up at levels that you haven’t seen in many years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., makes a similar claim. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that is all about more jobs, fairer taxes and bigger paychecks for American families,” Ryan told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than simply promise that the government will cut the tax bill for working families — many of whom pay little income tax already — the GOP is arguing that its tax plan will promote growth, which in turn will boost employment, and over time result in higher wages. Break any link of that chain and the middle-class “winnings” end up in someone else’s pocket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cut to corporate tax rate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A centerpiece of the GOP plan is a deep cut in the corporate tax rate, from 35 percent to 20 percent. The Tax Policy Center estimates that provision, along with repeal of the corporate AMT, would save corporations nearly $2 trillion over the next decade. Where would that money go? Traditionally, it’s been assumed that most of the savings of a corporate tax cut go to business owners or shareholders, who tend to be upper income. But some portion also goes to workers in the form of higher wages. How those spoils are divided determines the big winner when corporate taxes are reduced. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters at the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation, for example, assume that about three-quarters of the savings from a corporate tax cut goes to shareholders, while the remaining one-quarter goes to workers. Until recently, the Treasury Department assumed a similar breakdown, with owners taking the lion’s share and workers receiving about 18 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration argues that a much larger share of corporate tax cuts — 70 percent or more — will ultimately flow to workers. That’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.factcheck.org/2017/09/benefits-corporate-tax-cut/\">far from a consensus view\u003c/a>, but it’s the position advocated by \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/publication/a-spatial-model-of-corporate-tax-incidence/\">Kevin Hassett\u003c/a>, an economist formerly with the conservative American Enterprise Institute who now chairs Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers. If Hassett is correct, that would shift more of the $2 trillion in savings from the corporate tax cut down the income ladder, from wealthy shareholders to middle-class employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standard deduction vs. personal exemptions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of the GOP plan say many middle- and working-class families would benefit from the near doubling of the standard deduction. That would exempt the first $12,000 of earnings for individuals and $24,000 for couples from income tax. The higher standard deduction would also free many taxpayers from having to itemize, making tax filing simpler. But while Republicans want to expand this tax break, they’re planning to take away many others, including personal and dependent exemptions, which reduce taxable income by $4,050 for each taxpayer, spouse and dependent in a household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This combination could leave a couple with two children worse off. Their standard deduction would increase by $11,300 (from $12,700 to $24,000). But their four exemptions, totaling $16,200, would disappear, leaving them with more taxable income and a higher tax bill. For couples with three or more children, the situation is potentially worse. This might be offset by a larger child tax credit Republicans have promised, but that depends on details that have not yet been worked out. In addition, taxpayers who continue to itemize would lose their personal exemptions without the offsetting benefit of a larger standard deduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center estimates that boosting the standard deduction will leave an extra $830 billion in taxpayers’ pockets over the next decade, while eliminating personal and dependent exemptions will increase taxes by $1.6 trillion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State and local tax deduction\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have promised to preserve the tax deductions for mortgage interest and charitable giving, along with unspecified tax incentives for retirement savings, work and higher education. Most other tax breaks are on the chopping block, but the only one that lawmakers and the administration have singled out for elimination is the deduction for state and local taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘One of the things we’re trying to do is eliminate lots and lots of deductions.’\u003ccite>Steven Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“One of the things we’re trying to do is eliminate lots and lots of deductions,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “One of those deductions is about getting the federal government out of the business of subsidizing the states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If state and local taxes were no longer deductible, the federal government would collect an extra $1.3 trillion over the next decade, according to Tax Policy Center. The move would particularly hurt taxpayers in relatively high-tax states, many of which lean Democratic. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/state-and-local-tax-deduction-primer/\">Tax Foundation\u003c/a>, more than half the total value of the deduction is claimed by taxpayers in just six states — California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas and Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the exception of Texas, all of those are blue states. But as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., points out, there are many taxpayers in GOP districts who would be unhappy to see the deduction for state and local taxes taken away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess is you’re going to have 30, 40, 50 Congress members — Republican — who say, ‘I can’t vote for this because it raises taxes on my core constituency,’ ” Schumer said on Sept. 27, the day the plan was released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The role of economic growth \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration and congressional Republicans describe their tax plan as a key ingredient in the recipe for faster economic growth. They’re counting on that to boost federal revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe there will be $2 trillion of additional growth” over the next decade, Mnuchin told ABC’s “This Week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many independent observers think that’s overly optimistic, especially with the economy near full employment, an aging workforce and an administration determined to limit immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.’\u003ccite>Maya MacGuineas, President, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen a lot of modeling of tax plans before and we’ve seen what’s happened when we’ve reformed the tax code before,” said MacGuineas. “You can grow the economy by — perhaps if it’s done well — a couple of additional tenths-of-a percent of GDP. And that would be great. We should celebrate getting that done. But we should also be realistic and we shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center says it expects the GOP plan would have “little macroeconomic feedback effect on revenues over the first decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Effect on deficits and debt\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax cuts in the GOP proposal would reduce government revenues by trillions of dollars. Some of that would be offset by closing (mostly unspecified) loopholes. But the Tax Policy Center still predicts an extra $2.4 trillion in red ink over the next decade. If Republicans’ promised level of economic growth fails to materialize, all of that would be added to the federal debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That worries deficit hawks like Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. He expects to raise some revenue by eliminating tax breaks and through economic growth. But Corker told NBC’s Chuck Todd that he’s not willing to put the balance on the government’s credit card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it looks like to me, Chuck, we’re adding one penny to the deficit, I am not going to be for it, OK?” said Corker, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/09/26/553798939/tennessee-republican-sen-bob-corker-wont-seek-reelection-in-2018\">who is not planning to run for re-election\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
