While I'd agree with you about gun rights, I don't think it's an issue here. Middle of the night vandalism would be deterred by the simple presence of a watchman. And these attacks happen in Florida, a long time concealed carry state. And I've no doubt vandalism occurs in Texas. A better deterrent would be serious criminal charges, which won't happen in Chicago. If you recall our Pres to be opposed felony charges for a youth committing his SECOND violent felony, having gotten a pass on the first youthful indescretion.
Relative to arms, a better example would be the violent attacks, which I fear will escalate. Compare the attack on the community center in Seattle, 1 dead Jew, four wounded, a sane Muslim perp who admits it was a crime directed at Jews, and a jury that refused to convict. On anything. To the LA El Al attack. 1 (2?-I think 2nd survived) dead passenger, 1 dead perp. A much better outcome, because armed security was on the scene. And a competent, armed civilian would have sufficed.
While he would no doubt be in favor of felony charges for an ordinary law-abiding citizen who shot one of these feral youths in self defense. Agree?
