Anti-gun Mentalities in Chicago

Police Superintendent Jody Weiss:

"These numbers can overcome any amount of violence, any amount of evil that may be lurking on our streets. The power of a group of people like this is more powerful than any weapon that a gangbanger may be carrying."

Which clearly explains why murders have risen 13% this year alone and the city has 5x the murder rate of the rest of the state.

Chicago Resident Angela Hongo:

"It's not a good ruling. It is not, because we do have children, and children do not have enough education to know what's good and bad for them."


Huh? With a 50% drop out rate, obviously most of the adults don't either.

And from Brady Bunch spokesperson Barbara McKee:

"The cavalry isn't coming in to save us. We have to save ourselves. We have to take our communities back, house by house, block by block."

Ironically enough, this is the same argument that we've been using to support our rights.

So what's your plan Barbie? Ask the gang-bangers to start playing nice? Ask the families to start turning in their criminal members? More police? Mandatory house searches? What?

Over 25 years of gun bans and "reasonable, common-sense laws" have done nothing for the city. What are you going to do besides push for more of the same?

Thsi is what's a called a blind spot. The antis can't even see what's right in front of them. Sometimes I'm just so darned thankfull that I'm a stupid knuckle dragger.
