Madigan has been writing this kind of BS for years, he’s one of the reasons I dropped my local area news papers.
I live in Wheeling, IL. Eight years ago, I sent a gun rights letter to the editors of the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times. Only the Sun-Times printed it. I said that city gun bans don’t decrease shootings, since criminals get guns from other towns, bring them to Chicago, and shoot people, knowing that the law-abiding people can’t defend themselves. In 1960, about 5% of American babies were born out of wedlock. In 1990, the percentages were 60%, for Blacks; 30%, for Hispanics; and 25%, for Whites. When one parent raises a child, it’s difficult to teach good morals, especially since many single mothers work two jobs to survive. When teenagers aren’t supervised, well, that causes many of them to become criminals, causing them to shoot someone and/or got shot. More Americans should ensure that they won’t have children until they’re married. More fathers should spend more time with their kids and pay child support.
