Obviously I’m left to wonder how the death of a kid via 2x4 is related to a gun law.
When 2x4’s are outlawed, only outlaws will have 2x4’s?
Or in the words of the immortal Archie Bunker (when his daughter asked about deaths by hand guns), “Would its makes you feel better little girl if they’s were pushed outta winders?”
It's this: Crime and Gangs in Chicago is out of control. And thanks to Daley the good citizen is defenseless.(1) Add to that, a couple-few weeks back the Supt of the CPD said there are 100,000 Gang Members in Chicago. (Baghdad is safer)
I listen to the CPD Calls on a scanner. You can't believe the Home Burglaries that occur in broad daylight. In the middle of the afternoon on a weekend. Its like they wait for the person to go shopping. But if there's someone else still in that house, its now a Home Invasion and that person is up the creek.
(1) Long guns are legal but they registration process is so onerous that even an Alderman screwed up and he asked for a Registration Mulligan.
