what policies can a mayor have that overrides federal or state law? what can a mayor do by law that would change a murder rate or a crime rate, that is independent or cannot be superseded by state and/or federal law. big cities tend to have higher crime rates, due to more small town or rural crooks going there to commit crimes because in a smaller town or rural town, they are too easy to identify by local cops. but what can mayors do to keep guns out of the hands of these gun nut losers? do trump voters even have a clue how bizarre it is to blame a mayor for lack of gun laws or dumbass state laws allowing gun show loopholes and open carry and concealed carry by any loon that wants to?
and if you are crying about higher poverty rates in big cities, poor people often leave smaller towns and rural towns because there is no access to any kind of health care, any kind of public benefit services, no mass transit for them to be able to go shopping or go to work or get health care, lack of jobs in smaller towns, - what can a mayor do about that?
