The violence in Chicago over Independence Day weekend may not have been quite as bad as the massacre that John wrote about two weeks ago, but it was still pretty awful. There were crowds of people out and about in the Windy City, but not all of them were looking to celebrate our nation’s independence. By the middle of the day on Sunday, the Associated Press reported that there were “at least” 13 people killed and nearly 60 more shot around the city. And as it turns out, the AP was lowballing the figures.

Imagine a negligent parent blaming their kids teeth falling out on candy?

But it had a new sticker on it that said, “Chicago or bust” <<<

The simple and most logical answer would be to have a voluntary gun exchange between white gun owners and black gun owners....then it would only be whites killing whites and no big deal or even applauded by the liberal media as a wonderful “cultural change/exchange for all the racist whites....../s .

As if they would confiscate guns from the hood, anyway. They just want to take them from law-abiding white people.

Author concludes by saying “the residents of the city deserve better.” To which I respond, they most definitely do not deserve better as long as they insist on electing Democrats.

Well, rumor is that Congressman Adam Shiv plans to hold hearing on “gun violence” proving that white nationalists have hacked into smart guns to get them to shoot just black people.

His opening statement:

“This epidemic of racist guns must end now. We will close down all gun manufacturers until they guarantee their guns are tamper-proof.”

Why is it when there is an auto accident the driver is blamed?

Instead of more idle and unproductive welfare giveaways, give away good quality firearms with free training classes. People who can defend themselves suffer less casualties than do lambs set up for the slaughter.

A few years back, a black community activist ran for the Democrat nomination for Governor of Illinois. He had a kind of unusual name and I don’t remember it now, but he said the problem wasn’t guns as such, but that too many bad people had guns. Too many bad people is the root of a lot of problems. He’s probably one of the few people who could get away with pointing that out. It was refreshingly honest, and I have yet to hear another politician say it.

Look at her. Listen to her words. Watch her deeds.

Seattle Mayor Durkan is a psychopath, as well.

Often a psychopath will reveal themselves in a moment when they are personally offended or threatened. Durkin did when she permitted the murderous spree in the CHOP, but reversed course 180 when her own house was threatened.

Because those bad people with guns, gang members crooks and robbers are DEMOCRAT VOTERS. No point in offending them! Instead, disarm the victims!

No, Lightfoot, it's your fault. You are the mayor! You are accountable!
