Chicago's Mayor Daley Blames Fort Hood on America's Love of Guns
BigGovernment ^ | November 10, 2009 | Andrew Marcus

On Monday, Chicago Mayor Daley blamed the Ft. Hood Jihad Massacre on America’s love of guns!

“Unfortunately, America loves Guns. We love guns to a point where that uh we see devastation on a daily basis. You don’t blame a group.”

The Mayor is using a straw-man argument that conveniently provides him with an opportunity to politicize the terrorist attack as part and parcel with America’s love of guns.

Mayor Daley, and other politicians, like to blame gun violence on the guns themselves because that is so much easier than admitting any inconvenient (politically incorrect) truths which might be revealed if they were to place blame where it belongs.

Kids murdering each other in the inner city? That’s because of guns, not the War On Drugs which turns poor children into black market drug distributing gang members.

Islamists murdering people while shouting Allah Akbar? That’s because of guns, not the Jihad being perpetrated globally against all so called “infidels”.

Yes, let us ban guns on military bases. When are you going to retire, Daley?

Who cares what Mayor Dailey says?

Love of guns?

No, love of Islam.

It was his love of Islam that drove him to shoot a bunch of soldiers while screaming “Allah Akbar.”

That’s right! Nobody has a legitimate reason to have guns except the police and the military! Uh... I mean, the police!

I don’t know why Mayor Daley is against guns. More dead people mean more votes for him.

This guy and his corrupt old man were the product of the 1930’s Chicago mob. He probably has his old man’s “tommygun” hidden in his attic.

...You don’t blame a group.”

This is calculated to show a sign of appeasement to the large Muslim community in Chicago and the surrounding area.

It might be a good idea to get tested for Syphilis Mr. Mayor.

No, FT Hood should be blamed on Muslims’ love of killing people who are not muslim.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.

Yes. GOOD Americans do love guns as much as they love the Second Amendment - it insures a defense of personal freedom from oppressive government. Daley loves oppressive government as much as he hates guns. Besides, who thinks Hasan was a GOOD American?

Let’s see him get rids of guns and weapons on the police force, the jails, and the prisons.
