Last weekend in Chicago was a bloody one. According to reports, between Friday evening and Monday morning, fifty-two people were shot, nine of whom died.
Wait a second . . .
Chicago has some of the strictest gun control in the nation, right? So there shouldn’t be this many gun-related deaths. At least that’s how things should be according to liberal logic. With an “assault weapons” ban, a “violence tax” and state-imposed waiting periods on guns and strict regulations on the stores that sell them, Chicago should be the safest city in the country.
Wrong!
What was it that Dianne Feinstein said? Something about how turning in your weapons and banning guns will keep criminals from committing crimes involving guns. With four months still left in the year, and the homicide rate already past ninety percent of what it was last year, gun control clearly isn’t working.
The Tribune reported on the gun deaths in the city. See what they had to say over on the next page.
Paul Denton If you buy a gun and somebody steals it from you, and you are stupid enough not to report it. You owe it to yourself, you deserve whatever is coming to you. You can’t blame nobody else but yourself. I never voted against guns.I voted on gun control. which means, not to buy an arsenal of weapons for your own protection. or buy high caliber pistols to protect yourself. or sell it legally to potential killers. that’s what gun control means to me. Am i talking to the right people, or people who have no idea of what they say.Buying guns legally does not mean guns are sold to the right people, stupid.
Then every Southern Boy Move to Chicago and take our country Back!
The Federal Government allows the sales of firearms in the U.S.. The States make a lot of money off of the Manufacturers who produce them and allow them to be made. I have the right to legally buy any firearm and as many as I want for whatever reason I want. If we would just enforce the laws we have, and put away those who purchase or use them illegally away. A lot of things would change. Do you really believe criminals will obey any law you pass? I will do whatever it takes to protect me and my loved ones, either in my home or out for dinner. That is my right and my obligation to my family.
Selling cars legally does not mean cars are sold to the right people. Selling prescription drugs legally does not mean drugs are sold to the right people. Where and what do you draw the line.
YOU CANNOT MAKE PEOPLE DO GOOD GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE KILL PERIOD
i thought the supreme court said they could carry leagal in chicago
Too simple for liberals to understand.
And they refuse to see the truth!
Obama’s dream come true.
Let me ask a question Vicente ??? what laws would you pass that would/could fix the problem ? that isn’t already on the law books ? why type of guns are we talking about ? be specific … How will the laws you propose curb illegal purchases of guns ? (Black Market /stolen guns) again are these laws already in the books ? Criminals will not obey any gun laws , future or present law … How do you determine who is a potential killer ?How do you spot one ? please start thinking before you type , or at least proof read
