Yous guys don’t need no guns...yous got baseball bats, chainsaws and stilettos. You’ve demonstrated your contempt for guns: “Leave the gun, take the cannolis.” :>)

[Jack Hammer]

Decades of Liberal policies are killing Chicago - and the rest of America, too.

Firearms crime is but a single symptom.

Don’t you DARE say “illegal” guns. They’re undocumented weapons.

That brought a little chuckle! :)

So, the obvious answer is gun amnesty.

I believe the Sullivan Act was 1927. Prior to that there were many laws in the South specifically to disarm freed slaves.

lol! Out here, having a bat in your car is an unofficial law :)

The list I looked at only showed one :(

Thanks for the info.

I wonder what the heck that Georgia gun bill was all about?

Whoever wrote the article is almost there - if everybody was thought to be packing, my dear, gun crime would go down.

I know if I were running a liquor store in Chicagoland, I’d have a sign above the door saying, “Yes, we are armed. The cameras work. So do the remote control shotguns.”

Thanks for the link.

"It isn’t the guns, dumbasses - it’s the low-life criminals you liberals coddle."

You could give virtually every current legal gun owner (or most law-abiding citizens) an "illegal" gun, and the crime rate wouldn't budge an iota.

It's not the "illegal" guns that cause the violence, it's the kind of person who is pulling the trigger that causes the violence.

Just make sure to also have a glove and a ball...then the bat doesn’t look so suspicious (unless you have a bunch of rusty nails sticking out of the end).

[Secret Agent Man]

They aren’t illegal guns, they are undocumented guns.

[dp0622]

lol. Thanks for the advice.

At first I thought “lieberals” was a misspelling. Then I got it. Getting mentally slower in my advancing years, apparently. Thanks.

Group A knows how to use their weapons.For group B guns are primarily a fashion statement.

Well, at least those in Group B seem to know the 4th rule of gun safety: finger off the trigger until the sight is on the target.
