The Daily points out that more Chicago residents -- 228 -- have been killed so far this year in the city than the number of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan - 144 -- over the same period.
Last weekend, nine people were killed and 53 were shot, just two weeks after 10 people died and dozens more were wounded.
I wonder how many of those murders involved guns?
ReplyDeleteNone, obviously. Chicago has the strictest gun laws (or close) in the country. So ipso facto, no gun deaths. THAT problem solved.
DeleteI wonder how many involved graduates of social welfare programs?
ReplyDeleteBe careful Wenzel, Rahm might read this and decide they need to launch a war on LBJ's grandkids since the war on terror is showing such great results.
ReplyDeleteGiven that 'reverse racism' -- policies favouring the supposedly historically-discriminated-against -- is still racism (aka evil), done to politically pander and justify greater taxes, it's no surprise that the fruit of this poisoned tree is rotten.
ReplyDeleteBet if people were legally allowed to carry concealed carry without jumping through all the regulatory hoops, these rates would be much lower.
ReplyDeleteFact of the matter is, criminals tend to think twice before they commit a crime if they even suspect that the potential victim may possibly be armed.
Sigh, I think we are headed towards the same unfortunate result with A potential O'Bromney Administration....
There's a YouTube video where he can't even differentiate between a semi-auto/fully auto nor does he understand current gun laws as well.
It's already incredibly burdensome to own a firearm in many states across the country.
And considering this man appears as one, but speaks as two, makes him that much harder to even remotely trust.
But, this is an election of moderates, who allegedly are different(Big ? on my part). One where Rand Paul rushed to destroy much of his original backing in such a short timeframe for such an inherently weak and unprincipled individual (another question mark in my mind).
