For all the hollering that liberals do on gun control, you’d think they’d give it a try in Chicago - just to see if it actually works.
Sounds like total chaos in the streets there. As an aside I know people going to the Star Wars Celebration there this coming weekend. Im as much a fan as any but no WAY in hell am I going to Chicago for it.
They should have included guns on the Buybuybaby registry.

Whatever we do, lets do everything possible to avoid describing the individuals who are doing all this shooting. Lets blame everyone else but the Dindu-Nuffin nation.
They make it sound as though the warm weather was causing bullet cartridges to spontaneously combust.
I have a habit of looking up local crime scenes on Google maps.It doesnt take long to pick up patterns.
If a single child could be saved, they should be banned.
Just warm up for 2019 summer
Well the Cubs sucking out of the gate probably isn’t helping.
Pile the bangers up like cordwood and any decent people left might just have a chance at an actual life.
But, but....if only they had *more* reparations.....they would turn their lives around....
Isn’t this what the idiot leftists are saying?
Yup.
Start with the gangbangers already in prison. Give them a one-way cruise on Lake Michigan.
When words don't matter and the root cause is plain and simple.
Shouldn’t we ban something or maybe a new tax to stop this? That’s always their answer when it is a single shooter...
And the “dog days of April”...noticed they had to use “the warmest weekend...” in there.
They are now multi-tasking purveyors of propaganda...never let a story go to waste w/o bringing up climate change or racism or a host of other leftists pogroms...
