"There are just too many weapons here," Weis said Sunday. "Too many guns, too many gangs."

So the obvious action to take is to ban guns, right?

Yup...because once you ban guns, the bad guys will go... “Oh man!!! Now what are we going to do?” and of course give up their life of crime.

Obviously! If they would just declare Chicago a gun-free zone, all the problems would go away! It’s worked for DC!

The Democrats are to offer a plan that would allow for the city to withdraw all police officers within 90 days and allow the “INSURGENTS” to have control of the city. /*scarasm off

It is safer to be in the American Army conducting combat operations in Iraq than to be a citizen in the gun banning city of Chicago...

Now, if the guns all had firing pins that microstamped the cartridges, all of this would have been avoided.

Let’s be clear.

This is not hell-breaking loose all over the entire Chicagoland area, particularly NOT the nuclear-family rich, go-to-work and obey the law dominated suburbs.

It is a particular area of the city of Chicago, infested with a particular....ahem...culture.

This article is obviously a lie.

After all, Chicago has strict gun control laws.

No way something like this could happen.

In 1992, led by Mayor Richard M. Daley, the Chicago City Council voted to ban assault weapons.

We have a partial handgun ban in Canada. You can’t own without having a permit, and registering the gun, and you can only transfer it to and from your gun club. This Chicago shooting spree is on par with some we have in Toronto. The leftists strike again.

Liberal policies allowed this to happen. Liberal policies can’t solve it.

All the news coverage conveniently forgets to mention that Chicago is right up there with DC and has extremely tough gun laws. If you aren't solidly wired into City Hall, you have ZERO chance of getting a carry permit.

Actually Illinois and Wisconsin are about the last holdout states on the CCW issue. In Wisconsin's case. it isn't for lack of trying. The second last try failed by two votes to overcome "Diamond Jim's" veto. The last attempt failed by one vote. Three is the charm!

That’s about an average weekend in Chicago.

Used to be worse before they started tearing down public housing.

another report I read had quotes from city leaders saying that it’s due to so many gang’s senior leaders being in jail and therefore the gangs were without leadership.

I kid you not.

Sounds like the same leftist argument for keeping Saddam in power.
