The democratic leaders would like the entire county of cook, (city Chicago) to be a gun free zone for criminals to operate without fear of being shot.
Call these traitors of freedom and inform them of their mistake.
Here is some data for your call.

POLICE FILES REVEAL: 2,183,746 Burglaries, 1,417,745 Violent Crimes, 862,947 Aggravated Assaults, 92,455 Forcible Rapes, 17,034 Murders ALL IN A SINGLE YEAR: IF ATTACKED -- WHAT WILL YOU DO?

You cannot stop insane people From doing the insane things bypassing insane laws That's insane
*******************************
Combine when not been prevented by more gun control Paula gun control laws on the books did not prevent these kids are doing what they did
*******************************
Gun control is insane

Miller was not wrongly decided. Have you ever actually read it? And read the background of the case so you understood what the SC decision was? In a nutshell, the SC ruled that if the gun in question had any legitimate military use, then the convicted persons had a right to own and bear it. The gun in question was a sawed off shotgun; the convicts were not represented at the SC hearing (one had died, the other had plea-bargained down to a small fine), so no one presented any information to the SC about the military utility of the gun. The SC REMANDED the case to the lower court for a finding of fact on the military utility of the gun (easily provable that sawed-off shotguns HAD been employed in military uses, BTW), but the case was moot for the aforementioned reasons, so there was never any further proceeding in the lower court.

You ARE free to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. The government does not require a license to do so, does not explicitly forbid doing so, and does not tax/regulate/prohibit any tools that facilitate doing so.

"The idea that the Bill of Rights applies to Group Rights when it comes to Firearms and to Individual Rights when it deals with the other 9 Amendments in the Bill of Rights is patently Absurd." That's the point I always make when arguing the 2nd Amendment with anti-gun types. Usually leaves them sputtering...

More children die every year drowning in buckets of water than are killed by firearms. Wheres your support for a ban on buckets you leftist lying scumbags?

"A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
*******************************
The hand-written copy of the Bill of Rights which hangs in the National Archives had slightly different capitalization a A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.nd punctuation inserted by William Lambert, the scribe who prepared it
*******************************
Thats the ticket. A gun will really stop a criminal far better than the police. Thats because police Seldom prevent a crime; they can only document the crime after the fact and then track down the criminals for prosecution. Police are Historians.
*******************************
If you want to not be a victim then you have to protect yourself. Own and use guns.

A Glock in the hand is better than a cop on the phone. Somebody

When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away, I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy. Glock when a 5 minute response time is a death sentence.

The Virginia Tech killer ignored the 'Gun Free' signs posted by the University's administration throughout the campus.
*******************************
The Omaha Mall killer ignored the 'Gun Free' signs posted on the doors of the Mall. Last Tuesday they were taken down..
Jeanne Assam a private citizen providing security at a church in Colorado stopped a gunman.
Anyone want to make a guess at what those numbers will be AFTER the gun ban?
Competent? Chicago? City Council? Ne-VER-mind.

God, I'm sick to death of the cesspool Megalopolises in this country.
If I ever become independently wealthy (working on it), I will fund lawsuits against malls, stores, etc. where there is a shooting in a gun free zone under the theory of negligently creating a dangerous environment. State statutes permitting them to have such signs will be argued to be unconstitutional and/or invalid because laws that provably create risk/danger with no discernable benefit don't even pass rational basis review (a high hurdle, I know, but one that may be able to be overcome in this type of case given the actual facts about guns). And no, I'm not kidding. If leftards like that CA atheist can use the courts to fight "God" in everything and everywhere, then someone on the rational side of politics certainly can do the same w/r/t firearms...
The SC chickened out on Miller. Proof of the utility of short barreled shotguns was written into the National Firearms Act. It exempted the military from the restriction.
The need for the right to keep and bear arms becomes ever more evident with each attempt to eliminate it.
If you should ever make any filing preparations a reality, let me know.
I am willing to support you or be joined in action.
Thanks, - bill
Man, the Schutzstaffel should have thought of something along these lines - then they wouldn't have gotten all the bad press that they did!
"Guys In Black Uniforms Who Love Cute Big-Eyed Puppies And Fuzzy Cuddly Kittens Corps", or the GIBUWLCBEPFCKC, for short...
Damn Illinois Nazis! I HATE Illinois Nazis!
Terrible....long ago Cook Co. resident here. Good luck!
This will really make the loop fun at night won’t it?
A noble cause sir I wish you well in this endeavor as well as the other.
Why don’t these “Einstines” just ban crime and solve everything?
The kid's father actually used the fact that since I own guns, the kid should never be allowed to visit in my home.
So far I have had to swear two different affidavits that the kid won't have access to my guns while visiting in my house---and they still keep bringing it up at every hearing they have in Chicago.
Going to buy him his own, eh?
That's a very reliable recipe you have there! What kinda stick you planning on throwing em with?
Psst: My last 19 of 20 were in the X ring from 600 yards. The wild one was a 10 at 9 O'clock

Absolutely brilliant
Why didn’t they think of it???
I have eeea new field of study>
The study of Stupidity
I have always been fascinated with Stupidity.
Here are the Five Laws of Stupidity according to Carlo Cipolla:
First Law
We always underestimate the number of stupid people.
Second Law
The probability of a person being stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
Third (and Golden) Law
A stupid person is someone who causes damage to another person, or a group of people, without any advantage accruing to himself (or herself) — or even with some resultant self-damage.
Fourth Law
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid people.
Fifth Law
A stupid person is the most dangerous person in existence.
This is probably the most widely understood of the Laws, if only because it is common knowledge that intelligent people, hostile as they might be, are predictable, while stupid people are not.

About 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
Exterminated.
