If you want to really be angry at the carnage caused by "Mayor Daley Style" gun control just read Sun Times' Columnist Mary Mitchell's report of the murder of Ms. Stacey D. Moyer. Again, 911 was only useful to direct the police to the location they could then file a police report. Ms. Moyer was defenseless by law and paid the price for Mayor Daley's dangerous gun control schemes.
Ms. Mitchell:
This is truly heart wrenching. I cannot imagine the horror those children underwent.
I would guess you still are not a "believer" but if Ms. Moyer had a chance to defend herself this whole thing might have ended a lot differently and I think deep down you know it.
The following is not meant to be trite, but rather offered as truism's in this case:
1. If you are being attacked: a) Use a gun. or b) Use a telephone. Choose one, it is your life. 2. And hard, but true: "Dial 911 and Die" http://www.jpfo.org/dial911anddie.htm
Our condolences to the Moyer family and we are particularly concerned about her children. If some fund is set up for them please let me know via email or in your column.
God bless,

Unfortunately, I don't think that anything could have saved these people if the boyfriend/husband living in the house could physically block access to a person's means of self defense.
8 minute response time is *excellent* in Chicago, from all reports.
Unfortunately, that's about 7 minutes and 45 seconds more than your typical person needs to kill another.
You can deploy a firearm to save your life in three seconds or less.
Three seconds or eight minutes, hmmm. My question is, which has Mayor Daley decided is good for himself?
