--from the editorial (to my surprise)--

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.

Just curious, since they know who’s NOT shooting up the city,

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

It isn’t the guns, dumbasses - it’s the low-life criminals you liberals coddle.

So if they acknowledge CC is not “the real problem” why the {expletive} do they oppose it? Are they psychopaths? Do they enjoy the thought of their fellow citizens walking around as (relatively) defenseless victims? Do they like the idea of criminals emboldened by the knowledge their victims are disarmed? SMDH...

Contrary to liberal belief, we all still live in a very dangerous and unpredictable world so I think I’ll just continue clinging to my gun.

You liberals created the entitlement class of predator animals roaming the streets of our cities.

I looked up the history of gun control in the US.

all I could find that really mattered in the 1800’s was

1837
Georgia passes a law banning handguns. The law is ruled unconstitutional and thrown out.

Other than that, all the nonsense started in the 20th century. Very much starting in the late 1960s.

As opposed to Detroit, whose Police Commissioner encourages folks to get concealed handgun licenses.

And, SHAZZAM!....violent crime is DOWN!

Who woulda thunk?

Have they tried making murder illegal? That would cover any weapon and really take the wind out of those bad guys sails.

The guns are not doing anything. Street savages are doing the killing.

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

Since most of the time the perpetrators are driving by while shooting, maybe the problem is not guns, but cars.

And liberalism destroyed his brain.

Or maybe I’m confusing cause and effect.

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

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.

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.

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

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

“Illegal guns killing our city, body and soul”

Just arrest the guns and put’em on trial.

Decades of Liberal policies are killing Chicago - and the rest of America, too.

Firearms crime is but a single symptom.
