I went to Chicago and I didn’t see one gun, not one murder, no gangs. I saw a lot of construction. Much like Zika, the do-nothings will not help with the gun madness that has swept our country. It is time to vote our way out of this.
It is not the guns that kill, it is the one who pulls the trigger. Where there are more guns there is less risk because the bad guys will have second thoughts before beginning.
@Mr Blawt You must have spent your time on the North side, grab a flax jacket and visit the SOUTH side. Until Chicago stats to procute felons to the full extent of the law nothing will change. Chicago is about 83rd in procution
No matter what the bad guy is always going to have a gun when he needs it,and if they yank the guns from those of us who are honest citizens,then we won’t be able to protect or home or family from crooks,rioters who rob and burn for any reason when they want. I am 75 and sure couldn’t fight off two people but sure could with a little help from my 6 shooter my 13 shooter and my 8 shooter. All in various parts of the house..
I like the outline of a Benelli M-4 Shotgun. I have one. Excellent weapon. Though I doubt that this is used much by the scumbag lowlife gangbangers in Chicago. Lists for about $2,000 and cannot be sawed off..Most scumbag gang bangers use handguns anyway..And instead of banning firearms, go after the criminals like the hammer of God Himself. You know, like Operation Exile in Richmond, VA which was stopped after too many minorities were incarcerated and it was essentially deemed racist (since most gang bangers are minorities – sadly) and thus crime skyrocketed when they decided to not enforce the laws.
The sad fact is it ain’t just Chicago. That can be way too many cities across America, and in fact small towns, like the one over the hill from my smaller down that’s had four homicides with guns in a week, in a population about the same as one block in Chicago.
Hi martens. I really don’t care what sue thinks or says about me. But she claims to want serious discussion and she gets annoyed when people don’t take her seriously. If she wants to be taken seriously she has to learn what counts as serious discussion. Making up stupid stuff and saying that’s what you opponent believes is not serious discussion. Here’s what she said in her first post in his thread:“Don’t blame an inanimate object incapable of independent action for the actions of what is supposedly the most intelligent living entity on Earth. When one actually believes that an inanimate object can act on it’s own with no physical capability to do so, it shows how unintelligent one really is.”So she makes up a completely idiotic position as if that were the position of those who advocate for gun control. Of course that’s not the position of those who advocate for gun control. And then she adds an insult at the end, even though in other posts she gets annoyed if she thinks she has been insulted. Either she has failed to understand a simple distinction or else she is deliberately engaging in misrepresentation.

Mr. Blawt, that is NOT the south side. Try 85th and Cottage Grove

Not true. The only people in Chicago who have guns are cops and criminals.

Just having a gun makes you safe, so Chicago is clearly a very safe place. Unless there’s a flaw in the logic somewhere....NAH.
