It’s obvious - the little darlings want to maintain their superior fire power advantage...

Peace out...

Carrying signs like "Stop the War on Youth," teens said they didn''t trust police with the high-powered weapons and worried gangs would be encouraged to bolster their own arsenals.

They can't be serious. Nobody could be that dumb!

[eyedigress]

and worried gangs would be encouraged to bolster their own arsenals.

Is that legal??????......./S

How stupid is that first line? Extremely stupid.

"It''ll shoot through brick, car doors. Say your family is in the house eating and there''s some gang violence. When they shoot these [the bullets] can come into your house and shoot your kids."

Anti "assault rifle" hype. They're just getting warmed up.

If they can get these deemed unacceptable for police, they will use that against the average person having one.

“When they shoot these [the bullets] can come into your house and shoot your kids.”

Wow. Those bullets come into your house and shoot your kids. I better put my bullets under lockdown so they do not get out of the ammo cans and shoot my kids.

Whattaya know? A community organizer! That means he's qualified to be President in 16 years. Maybe less if he can keep his birth certificate hidden, like our first Communist....I mean, Community Organizer President.

As opposed to pistol rounds, which bounce harmlessly off of car doors, drywall, etc.

He probably wants the bullets to have warrants....

[yarddog]

Well they are supposed to be dangerous. That is the whole idea of weapons.

[microgood]

Actually that is a pretty good point about the staying power of the bullet. If the cops start blasting away and stray bullets are flying everywhere, it is better if it is a pistol round than hi powered rifle.

Let the target practice begin!

....to protest the department''s plans to equip officers with semi-automatic rifles...

seeing how it is Chicago, the assualt rifles aren't going to do a whole lot of good. If they were truly serious about wanting to out-gun the gangs, they'd set up some 155 batteries along South Shore Drive...maybe station a few cruisers with 8" canons out in Lake Michigan for back-up...

Ummm... is he talking about the Police or the gangs? I think the number of innocent children shot by gangs as opposed to Police is about 10,000 to 1.

[Oztrich Boy]

semi-automatic rifles, saying the weapons could make the streets more dangerous.

...... "The only people who need these guns are in Iraq,"

Seems like I've heard this before

[wastedyears]

Nice to know kids aren’t very well taught in school.

[Thunder90]

The rifles are for the team to protect Obama’s house and to assist the USSS.

[rfreedom4u]

Here’s an idea. Let’s totally disarm the police. That’ll encourage the gangs to disarm too.

In reality, life isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. Gang-bangers are society’s pieces of crap and should be dealt with harshly. If their parents would do it sooner the police wouldn’t have to. When I was a kid my parents whipped my butt and I learned my lesson.

Kids, help prevent child abuse. Obey your parents.

Then ya better start snitch' on your homies, dawg. Keep the gangs out of da hood, yo.
