I think Chicago is the epitome of a city where guns are outlawed, or are very difficult to legally own.
Once is enough. We get the point.
I am reminded that Noah Webster in 1833 noticed”there are two powers only,sufficient to control men and secure the rights of individuals and a peaceable administration;these are the combined force of religion and law and the force or fear of the bayonet.” In 1849 Robert Charles Winthrop in a speech before the Mass.Bible Society expounded on what Mr Webster had taught- “Men in a word must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them, or a power without them ; Either by the Word of God, or by the strong arm of man;either by the Bible or by the bayonet.”As a people we were once understood to be both Moral and Religious. And George Washington and many other recognized the fundamental principles of Religion,Morality and Knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind. (twice codified in the Northwest Ordinance) What we have seen in the these reports from the Presidents own City of Chicago (where his political aspirations were honed) is evidence of what we as a people chose—when we decided to accept a secular nation and rejected the religion and morality President John Adams said our Constitution was made only for.when righteousness rules the nation is happy.
In Tulsa 3 were shot and 2 others killed over a couple of days and it made national news. Here in Chicago those numbers don’t even cover a single day of black on black killing.
