Gun Control: Chicago's new police superintendent blames Alaska's ex-governor for inner-city gun violence and crime, and says gun-rights advocates are racist. Disarming victims doesn't prevent crime, sir.
Speaking to the choir, literally, about gun control, Garry McCarthy, former police chief of Newark, N.J., told an audience at St. Sabina Church in the Windy City about leaving a homicide scene in Newark, returning home and flipping on the TV to find an episode of "Sarah Palin's Alaska."
"She was caribou hunting and talking about the right to bear arms," McCarthy said. "Why wasn't she at the crime scene with me?"
We know. We don't see the connection between hunting and gang violence either, but gun-control advocates do.
Sarah Palin was not at that crime scene because she had nothing to do with the crime. As a defender of the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms, she is like the vast majority of law-abiding gun-owning Americans who never fire or even point their gun in anger, unless someone's trying to break into their house.

Give Da Chief credit. A cop who welcomes the presence of ordinary citizens at crime scenes "to watch the guardians".
How refreshing is that?
Gun control itself is racist. It was instituted to prevent freed black slaves from arming themselves against the KKK.
The shooting was in New Jersey. Chicago has strict gun control, therefore no gun crime.
Home of the infamous Father Flakey.
Weren’t there illegal guns in Chicago before Palin was a major player? Good lord how do they remember to put one foot in front of the other when they walk?

Chicago’s new police superintendent trying to pass the buck to compensate for his inability to do the job. He needs to resign and allow a real cop...
I think the nitwit McCarthy was trying to say (very ineptly) that Palin should have been at the crime scene to see what guns can do. So according to this genius’s “logic”, the mere fact that someone owns a gun makes them an accessory to a gun-related crime committed thousands of miles away. Brilliant thinking. (smirk)
How did someone as stupid as McCarthy get the position he holds? If I ruled the world, someone as stupid as to ask a question like that would be working in one of Chicago’s parks, picking up dogturds! That would be more befitting his apparent IQ.
Well somebody in that administration certainly does, dunno about the rank and file coppers. If I were to tell a Chicago officer about the gun issues we had here in Missouri, I would say that the wild west shootouts that were forecast did not occur except in the normal circles.
CCW was helpful to law abiding citizens but it did nothing to reduce the violent crime rate in St. Louis. It did raise the amount of car break-ins, since many venues were allowed to post “No CCW here” signs and even after more than five years of CCW, the thugs are still after people’s roscoes in their cars.
62 cars broken into in the Metro just on Friday night.
Hey, Chief - how about a hunting season for two legged social predators in your city?
Think of it as a modern day bounty - or institute a bounty of $25,000 for every crook killed in during said criminals attempt to commit a violent crime.

Sorry about the double post. I clicked on POST, and it hung and hung, so I went away and played a game of FreeSpace, came back and it STILL appeared to be hung, so I clicked POST again.........and then discovered the double.
Sor-r-r-r-reee.
Gun control ping!
This guy is an idiot.
Chicago doesn’t have a prayer.
McCarthy: “Why wasn’t she at the crime scene with me?”
That would make her an accessory.
okay...please someone....tell me the race of this guy....
