Chicago police say the violence has been stoked by gang conflicts and a proliferation of guns, mixed with weak gun law enforcement.

Sure...everybody knows that. Take states like North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho...do you know that children as young as 12 regularly have access to guns? Why, when I was 14 I owned three...and the local authorities do nothing! The number of guns per capita dwarfs places like Chicago.

That's why Bismarck has such a drive-by shooting problem!

Morons!

Yep - my Dad bought me a daisy BB gun when I was 4 - had to rest it on a sawhorse in the attic because I couldn't hold it up steady enough to learn to aim. He took me shooting a lot and by 14 I was competing at the local gun ranges. he taught me well and at 63, I remember all the lessons and have managed not to shoot myself or anyone else.

When we were kids in the suburbs, we would run the fields of undeveloped land with our BB guns and have a blast - nobody called the cops to claim they had been scarred for life and we were all familiar with gun safety so nobody lost an eye or sustained serious injury.
