Sounds like a bumper crop.
The root cause is not guns or lack there-of ... it’s hearts full of violence.
If they didn’t have guns they’d use knives, machetes, baseball bats, arson, etc. etc. etc.
Cain killed Abel with a rock.
Drilling down to the root cause takes liberal society to places it doesn’t want to go so they keep trying to treat the symptoms not solve the problem.
Why would they want to stop it?
They are the most over represented group of people in all institutions in this country.
They have been given the green light to do, say act in whatever way they want without any repercussions.
They can lie, cheat, steal, kill and it will be blamed on systemic racism and white supremacy, so they can then go out and do it again.
And all you have to do is stay silent when some worthless scumbags get smoked by other worthless scumbags?
That is an easy choice, since life is cheap and meaningless to a vast majority of the “community”.
It appears that Chicago’s criminal element is giving Lori a really banging send off. I wonder what the score will be for the new anti-cop mayor’s first weekend?
All new gun laws should be first tried in Chicago to see if they are effective?
