I agree with that judge. I live near Chicago, and I’ve heard many people demand stricter gun laws because of the shootings of Chicago teenagers. Gun laws aren’t the answer. In Chicago, no one, except police officers and aldermen are allowed to own handguns. Chicago has a higher murder rate (number of murders per 100,000 people) than New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Denver, Phoenix, and Miami. New York City has more than twice as many people as Chicago, but, during four of the last six years, Chicago had more murders. Chicago criminals go to other towns, buy guns, and bring them to Chicago, knowing that the law-abiding people can’t defend themselves.
According to the Index of Leading Cultural Indicators, by William Bennett, in 1960, about 10% of American babies were born out of wedlock. In 1991, the percentages were 65%, for Blacks; 30%, for Hispanics; and 25%, for Whites. When only one parent raises a child, it’s harder to teach the kid good morals, especially since many single mothers work two or three jobs, to make ends meet. When parents aren’t with their kids, many of their teenagers become criminals, causing the kids to commit gun crimes and/or become shooing victims. Government can’t do much to change this. Each American should be more responsible and not conceive children until they’re married. Single fathers should show that care more about their kids by paying child support and spending more time with their kids.
Oh....I agree with him too. Perhaps the best endorsement of the Second Amendment by any government official since Mike Foster, our pre-Blanco Governor here in Louisiana addressed the I-10 serial killer issue a few years back saying “this is why we have a concealed carry law.”
you need NOT leave Chicago to buy a pistol - they are EVERYWHERE.
only law-abiding people have to "jump through hoops" to get a firearm. the crooks have LOTS.
PLEASE don't be "sucked in" by the intentional LIES told daily by the main-SLIME, gun-HATING, LEFTIST media. the media KNOWS that they're lying;they think "the public" is terminally STUPID.
