I just saw and heard John Lott at the Chicago Conservative Conference. His examples of media bias were crystal clear. Now if we could only get Mayor Daley to read it and pass a conceal and carry law we would have less crime here in Chicago. He told me a surprizing fact. All the states around Illinois are or are trying to become conceal and carry states!!!

Michigan just reached a year with thier conceal and carry law and it has been very successful. The state is pleased it has been a positive rather than a negative and crime is down. UNFORTUNATELY THAT does not make headline news!!

The left is interested in guns vs crime. They view everything on the scales of state power. More guns means less state power, hence they oppose it.

bump for a great read.

BTW, I'm in Indiana, and I won't go to Illinois anymore because they won't let me carry my Kimber to protect myself... and the last two times I was in Chicago, I surely felt like I needed it.

Illinois needs a C&C law and a three strikes law. Get the liberal judges, DA's, mayors and left wing mediots out of the way, and the crime in Illinois will drop like a rock.

Of course the trial lawyers don't want that to happen. When a citizen permanently drops a criminal with his gun as that criminal is action, the trial lawyers lose a multi million $ cash cow. The left wing trial lawyers see criminals with guns as cash cows.
