Only a certain part of the city is called ChIraq.

Exactly. Until the commie 'RAT politicians can figure that out, the murders will continue.

Absolutely. Go ahead. Take away all of the guns in Chicago.

All that changes is that the news readers have to substitute

“stabbed to death” instead of “shot to death”.

The fruition of Lyndon Johnson’s 1964 “War on Poverty” and other socialist democratic programs. War - it’s happening in an urban area near you. Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, and others.

Note who they look to for a solution ...What they're looking for is Øbama to negate the 2nd Amendment by executive order. And not just for Chicago.

“And until Obama can get the guns off the streets of his hometown, the bloodshed won’t stop.”

Actually...the need is to get the idiots behind the guns off the streets. And, Zero is helpless to do that.

Just sayin’

If only we had 200 federal agents with AR-15s, beards, and tacticool Oakley shades who could go to work in that area. Anyone know where they are lately?

Liberals do not want to own guns. Therefore, no one should be allowed to. After all, it is unfair that they do not have guns and someone else does.

I would argue that “ChIraQ” is inaccurate.

“Chicongo” is more accurate due to the following facts:
1. The violence in America’s ‘First City of Communism’ is largely caused by its Blacks.
2. The violence often has the senseless brutality so common in African communities and in American Black ‘hoods’.
3. Violence in Chicongo is gang related in many cases and these gangs are the Big Sh8ty equivalent of tribes. Think “urban Tribalism”.

Lest I be accused of plagarism, thanks to FRiend Sky Dancer for the superlatively descriptive term “Chicongo”.

Vachel Lindsay couldn’t have done any better.

Jeb Bush did one great thing as Gov of FL. He installed the castle doctrine here in 2005.

When I see movies and stuff, a guy’s breaking in or whatever, I’m like, in FL, that guy would be dead.......

I agree ... and I'm old enough to remember the 1960s "uprisings" in the Congo.

Chicago needs to get it's criminals off the streets. Guns are NOT the problem...

The real reason democrats want ‘gun control’ is the democrat money base is criminals.

Drug runners are democrats.

Pornographers are democrats.

Pimps and whores are democrats...

Mobsters are democrats - those who buy ‘favors’ and judges are democrats...

Why does that matter?

Because gun store owners are REPUBLICAN. If gun shops are closed the mob moves in and takes over the gun industry - worth billions. Then they'll 'donate' to democrats. The gun industry will then be run by criminals who are democrats. Doubts? Look at the political make-up of any prison. High nineties in democrats.

Despite a gay-participation controversy, the annual Chicongo Day Parade was again a great success.

I'm guessing that there are more "closet" liberal gun-owners than you might think.

They’re busy being safe by shooting cattle from helicopters...the tactical equivalent of shooting the broad side of a barn. Then they get to go home safe at the end of their shifts (that’s the only important thing).

Good afternoon.

There are, and I know a few of them. Problem is, when the feds etc. come for their guns, they will hand them over (hypocrites).

That is another difference between liberals/progressives/democrat/Marxists and conservatives.

Okay Bright Boy!
Since Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the Nation and has had them for decades. You really think “getting the guns off the street” is an answer to anything?
