HA! DUI’s / DWI’s what a joke...nothing but a cash cow for those who are above such draconian punishment “we” the peons must endure.....I know a guy who has driven for over 25 years without a drivers license because of incidents that happened during his teen’s......his vehicles(and he has 3) are all legal and he does a funny thing...he obeys driving laws and brings no attention to himself. I agree with him when he points out that “driving is crucial” to his existence because he will not take any welfare which he easily could and just sit on his ass...no he has his own business and to get to the actual story ..... he carries a .45 everywhere just like he did while he was a combat medic...and he asked no one for permission....you clowns just keep thinking that declaring what you have is “the right” thing to do ...I will do as I please just like a guy I know.......cover your own ass and move on....you need no permission for inalienable rights....get a pair

-- do they have any common factor as to who IS shooting up the city? --

Right in the title, it's the illegal guns.

Yes, why yes they do it enjoy it. It undermines that “white privilege” for whites to lose their Second Amendment right to self-defense, and become sitting duck victims to the ferals who will never obey gun laws no matter how many are passed. And an armed, or, in the case of “Unarmed Tenn Michael Brown” feral might be -God forbid!- hurt or even killed while trying to stamp out some of that white privilege in a white person who is armed so that they have a chance of defending themselves or their families, and we can’t have whites defending themselves against ferals who are trying to show YT the error of their white privilege ways to not get their heads bashed in, or sucker-punched, or kicked unconscious by a group of ferals trying to do the white person the favor of beating the white privilege out of them, can we? I mean, the “teen” who raped and murdered the 101 yo white woman was only trying to make her recognise her white privilege!

(Can you imagine that poor woman living 101 years only to spend her last breaths on earth being raped and beaten to death by a savage feral? If that was my granny, I’d have to make up my mind to spend my
the rest of my life in incarceration, because if I could get to him, I would surely put him down like a rabid dog, and do it one kneecap at a time. POS useless evil non-human, doing that to a woman who lived a 101 years only to die in that horror).

Yes, and I hope the leftists in those cities reap the full consequences of the stupidity and defenselessness they want to inflict upon the rest of us.

They do have copious quantities of wild life to protect against. With all of those bears and cubs roaming the streets of ChiTown, they’ll need guns to protect themselves. And, that gang of racist White Sox and them bulls also need to be dealt with. So, no wonder Chicago utes need guns.

I believe that most of the evil they inflict is intentional. It’s not like conservatives don’t tell them the potential consequences. It’s also not like they don’t try to enact measures to make sure those consequences will only touch other people, never themselves. They still have their armed security details and bodyguards.

The common factor in these shootings is not the guns. Guns are a tool. Guns are inert. The common factor is the lack of parental involvement in the life of these hoodlums. Specifically, the lack of involvement of a father figure in their lives. Boys, teens and young men need a sound father figure in their lives, a mature man who models responsibility, preferably Christ centered, God centered responsibility.

Well said. Just stay out of the system to the best of your ability and lay low.

“Editorial: Illegal guns killing our city, body and soul”

What else can they expect after decades of liberal/socialist RAT leadership.

Let’s be clear. Our outrage is not directed at people who own or carry a gun legally. We opposed the legalization two years ago of concealed carry in Illinois, but not for a minute do we believe concealed carry is the real problem. Those are not the people shooting up our city every night.

HOLY CRAP!!!

marktwain, check this out!!!

“Conservatives should mimic the immigration debate: Make illegal guns legal!”


You know what is interesting in thinking about both of these issues side-by-side? The fact that there are somewhere between 11 and 40 million illegals here (”they” don’t even know how many, and are likely hiding the numbers that are closer to the truth), juxtaposed with the fact that there are roughly 400 million guns in this country. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/08/dean-weingarten/question-of-the-day-how-many-guns-are-there-in-the-us/ and http://dailycaller.com/2014/11/04/gun-ownership-by-the-numbers/

If “they” can’t track 11-40 million people (who, if you disassemble or bury them, don’t start functioning well if reassembled or unburied, unlike guns), then how can they track 400 million guns? Oh, yes, since 1968 we’ve had the Form 4473, but that only tracks purchases from licensed gun dealers - how many out there have bought guns in private transactions, or have inherited (or been gifted) guns from family members with NO tracking whatsoever? Also, how many people do you know that are in roughly the same condition at age 75 or 100 as when they were born? Not too many - but guns can survive for a LONG time and be in perfect operating condition. They don’t generally go to the hospital, where they can be tracked, unlike people who have those occasional emergencies. IOW, guns cannot be tracked anywhere nearly as easily as living human beings.

Keep in mind that there is a very high correlation between those who favor “gun control” (really, “gun confiscation”) and those who favor no or few limits on immigrants. The next time someone tells you that the government should “just take all the guns” or something equally tyrannical and stupid, make mention of the facts here, and ask them how it is possible to do so. In fact, if you really want to get under their skin, let them know that since it is easier to track people than guns, you’ll be willing to give up your guns...just as soon as the government tracks down and eliminates every single illegal in this country (the equivalent of the gun “buy backs”). Yes, return illegals to their place of origin - ALL of them - and then we can discuss gun control. Make sure to wear rain gear, their heads will explode and that will be quite messy.

The natural consequences of their bad choices and inability to provide for themselves would normally limit their population to a small, ever decreasing size; the liberals have subsidized the growth and stability of their population by paying them to have more and more children, and by giving them cradle to grave welfare.

Watch the movie "Idiocracy" - it details the consequences of subsidizing the stupid, who breed in greater numbers BECAUSE they are subsidized. Not exactly the same as what you said, but very similar.

Well, there you go, employing logic and facts in your argument. Tsk, tsk, tsk - don't you know that the other side just emotes? Logical thought is impossible for the lieberals and radical Leftists.

I’m Italian and I dont think we should be allowed to have guns :) just kidding.

It’s always a slippery slope.

the old “we’re doing this for the country’s own good”

and then it snowballs.

They forget WE are the government. they are just hired hands.

We’ll sort of! It’s really the fatherless sons/bastards legislated by the Democratic Party a couple decades or so ago. They have all grown up with no place to go, can’t read, can’t do 2 x 2 in math, wear their belts below the butt, breed every night and barely know which end of the gun to point and their pissed off!..............at WHAT or WHO they have no clue.

Group A will utterly annililate group B when the time comes.
Group A knows how to use their weapons.For group B guns are primarily a fashion statement.

Clearly these are merely undocumented, inert polymer or metal masses. They pose no threat to our society. Referring to them as “illegal” is insensitive, incendiary, and counter-productive. It makes people fear bringing them out of the shadows.
