Obama's city. Rahm's city.

a culture of death.

His lectures are less than worthless.

Oh, and by the way: most of those deaths/injuries are from blacks shooting other blacks.

end all ‘gun control’ and help any citizens who can’t afford it acquire good firearms for self and community defense

and provide free safety and shooter training (like we used to have in high school, only now for anyone who needs it since many HS’s did not provide folks with this basic training in recent years)

(yes I know I just advocated a giveaway program, but this one at least is consistent with the constitutional right to keep and bear arms...and will help people in a way they really need the help, basic defense against gangsters and Obama’s invading army of IslamoNazi terrorist thugs)

Democrats do not answer for their mistakes or short comings. It would not surprise me if in most major cites run by liberals this was mostly the same.

The most amazing thing is happening in Chicago, where "guns are committing violence".

Those guns must be capable of picking themselves up, and hunting down people. Apparently, the people have nothing to do with "gun violence". The people are just "victims of gun violence".

Not to minimize the police shootings, but funny how THEY get all the Media attention. But when it comes to Black on Black crime....crickets.

It would have minimal effect

Vast majority of shooters and victims are criminals
