Nothing new. Mike Wallace did a report on this for 60 MINUTES forty five years ago.
Rail cars in Chicago being broke into.
Gangs claimed the biggest haul they made was..”GUNS!”
Refused to tell Wallace what they did with the guns.

Sadly those housing projects are now the Democratic plantations and the people who live there every bit slaves to their DC masters doling out the welfare bucks.

Back in 1968, a gun store owner told me that guns shipped by rail back then had a big red tape on them listed as FIREARMS.

He said ever so often the baggage conductor would toss these packages off to waiting cars at certain crossroads and they never made it to those who they were shipped to.

Before the 1968 Gun control Act became law I ordered a mail order gun from Selma, Alabama. It was shipped railway express, and I did get it. The package had a big red tape on it saying it was FIREARMS. Surprised I got it.

What really bugged me was the cost of railway express was the same amount as the firearm.

We’re returning back to the WILD WEST DAYS when the POSSE guarded the stagecoach with the bankroll.

I hate that #### most from that era, unless Ted was already on the scene. Then it’s a tough call.

They must not know that Chicago has very strict laws against self defense and tight controls on gun ownership. Otherwise they wouldn't have violated these laws

The Soviets were very active in the 60s fomenting dissent, with; the hippie movement, the feminist movement, black power, the queer rights movement, liberation theology etc etc etc

Now, it’s called the democRAT(ick) Party.

Soviets were good at what they did.

Bury us from within, they almost did.
