Proof positive that more thorough background checks would make Chicago and the rest of the planet a utopia.

I’ll bet not one of the shooters purchased their firearms from an FFL.

The chaos in our inner cities is a direct result of public policy. The generational poverty in the rural mountain areas of the US is also the result of policy. This is being perpetrated in the name of “social justice” which means one thing to the “useful idiots” who don’t get the big picture, and another thing to the elites of both parties.

The ruling elite believes they know what’s best for us and that everything that made us what we once were (Judeo-Christian tradition, limited government, individualism, free enterprise, work ethic, cheap energy, and freedom) must be demolished. The elites envision a world government run by an oligarchy of benign dictators where there are two classes: the proletariat and ruling class, which would be exempt from the nightmare existence they will foist on the rest of us. The middle class is being wiped out as everyone is banished to the lowest common denominator. That will be “SOCIAL JUSTICE”, when America looks like Chicago, Detroit, and Camden, New Jersey.

"Stray (bullet) doesn't fit the definition

How 'bout: "A 10-year-old girl was shot in the head and critically injured by a stray & feral black who fired a bullet into her home. ??

Hey you loser Eric Holder - the 22 people shot in Chicago this week-end are twenty-two MORE than were shot by Tea Party Members SINCE Obama took office. (actually 22 more than was EVER shot by Tea Party members)

Wake up from your paranoia Holder - these killings aren't from conservative 'lone wolves' - they're from black gang bangers ...in your hometown of Chicago. Do you NOT care Holder because in your mind black deaths don't count as much as white (possible) deaths?

Stop the Chicago slaughter Holder... wake up smell the coffee...
