I live in Chicago, not “Chiraq.” Chicago is my city, and I love it. Calling it Chiraq is an insulting, misguided attempt to describe and to cast blame for the gun violence that plagues us. Instead of constantly trying to use my city as a scapegoat when violence occurs, we need to recognize that gun violence is a national issue and not just a local one.
As a kid, I developed my professional grit playing basketball at the South Side and Austin YMCA. I watched the sun rise every morning while driving up Lake Shore Drive on my way to school in Oak Park. Chicago is a work of art, from Harold’s Chicken to the Frank Lloyd Wright houses. When I bought my first home, there was never a question that it would not be in South Shore.

Gun control works so well in Chiraq. We need more of it...
Good idea.
The Liberal mind is a fun house mirror.
Only a return to standards of morality in our society will end widespread gun violence.
There. Fixed it.
There must be something in the water there.
Well, since you bring it up, Devereaux (if that’s your real name), why doesn’t Austin experience the same carnage Chiraq does if it’s a national problem?
Yeah, right. Seeing as gun violence is already breaking a multitude of laws, what makes this clown think another law is going to magically solve everything. /rhetorical
In actuality the unending quest for “Common Sense Gun Control Laws™” won’t ever end gang and other criminal violence committed with guns, but it just might end the Democrat party.
Keep it up idiots!
Typical member of the anti gun Jihad. NO rational thought lot of hysteric infantile emotions.
We already have adequate control measures, just use them. When was someone last prosecuted for falsifying a background form, ah, almost like never. How about felons with guns, every prosecuted, ah, like almost never. Put the criminals behind bars and the problem goes away.
“The Liberal mind is a fun house mirror.”
Nice :) Also, the liberal mind is that of a confused adolescent on pot.
Deem’ strong Federal and state laws working out well in Chicagoland, yeah, Devereaux PetersIdiot?! *shakeshead*
Or where we live in rural (country folk) north Georgia.
Gun homicide rate here is 2 killed by gunfire since 2015.
...
I think we do need common sense gun law, but only one. It goes something like this...
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
No. The program is confiscation. It’s Full Speed Ahead on confiscation. Part of the reason why the Communists in this country are so desperate to seize power by any means necessary.
Only a return to standards of morality in our society will end widespread gun violence.
There. Fixed it.

Right on. I’m 60. As a kid I had guns and ammo in my bedroom.
Guns in the closets around the house. Ammo here and there.
Never heard of a gun safe or a gun lock. Many of the yutes back then had the same deal. Nobody ever got shot because we were taught to never load them and never point them. It’s a weird concept but it did actually work.
I always seek the advice of someone in the WNBA when I have a particularly difficult problem to solve ... [/s]
“Put the criminals behind bars and the problem goes away.”
We all know that the Left’s goal is not to put any criminals behind bars, but rather to disarm America’s patriots.
See my tag-line for more details.
Only strong federal laws will end the invasion of MS13 gangs...fun game, your turn : Only strong federal laws_______________.
“”Calling it Chiraq is an insulting, misguided attempt to describe and to cast blame for the gun violence that plagues us.””
Now we’re going to get “uppity” and offended about labels that are put on cities! Where does it end? How about gun owners and supporters of the 2nd Amendment getting insulted every time a GUN is mentioned in a news story? Don’t people like this like to cast blame for ALL gun violence on ALL gun owners? Tough, fella!
