If cities can have a “buy back” program for guns, why can’t we have a “buy back” program for illegals? Turn in an illegal and get a free iPad or something.

In recent years Chicago has lost two of the finest “community organizers” since Saul Alinsky himself.We know what happened to Osama Obama but let's not forget the esteemed (but not by me) Marxist Governor of Massachusetts,Deval “Coupe Deval” Patrick who was a Chicago “community organizer” at the same time Obama was.In fact they're long time,*very* close,pals.

I don’t blame you in the least. I’ve been carrying since 2001. Not a single incident in 12 years now.

You never hear about this?
I am not surprised. This does not advance the Liberals’ Agenda.

I have a Charter Arms Bulldog in .44 spl that’s my current carry piece. I paid $175 for it. I won’t care if it gets taken.

I love the Charter Arms Bulldog! They are a great gun, especially for the price! The .44spl is very lethal as well.

.44 spl is ballistically identical to the .45 ACP.
