I read somewhere recently that Detroit’s new law allowing citizens to possess and carry firearms has had a positve effect on reducing crime and assaults. Go figure. Come on Chicago, get a clue.

Good idea. A couple of hundred MS-13 gang members should be able to cull the herd!

Goodness, I must remember to turn in my gun the next time my community sponsors a buy back program. Who knows when it will get mad at me and attack me for not properly cleaning, loading, or shooting it. Guns are definitely the problem. Get rid of them and we will have a peaceful society, ruled by the biggest, baddest gorillas in the country.

Chicago City Council will meet tomorrow to draw up their new “toughest gun control laws in the country” before they break for lunch.

Well, there they go again, “Street Rats” doing what they do best. And odumbo will sign another EO to ban all gun ownership thus stop the violence once and for all. Then, the shooting in Chicago will continue as none of the Street Rats can read.

Crime stats for Detroit show crime down by about 30%, depending of the particular type of crime.

That according to Detroit Police Chief, who held a press conference a few days ago.

Ballistics are attempting to trace all gun violence to white hispanic jewish peruvians at this time.

So they take guns from honest, non-violent people and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
