Chicago has the biggest gun problem in the entire nation and not one Democrat has demanded we DO SOMETHING about Chicago. DO SOMETHING about Chicago first and you will have my undivided attention.

Armed, responsible citizens can stop these insane maniacs better than 14,000 new laws....

In Chicago I thought they just used rope and bleach to be racist?

Just a coincidence this latest shooting in TX came less than 9 hours before the new more lax gun laws.

What do you suggest needs to be done? Even armed police officers were hurt or compromised yesterday. The perpetrator was able to get away with a lot before being confronted by someone armed. And in such unstable circumstances too (a highway...) kinda hard to aim back at a shooter without collateral. :(

All this drama . . .

Makes me want to forget the location of my boat accident and take up heroin.

Just need to get ‘happy.’

Thanks I just read up on the new laws. And all I can say is, this isn’t your grandfather’s America. You don’t understand just how many crazy individuals there are — and it’s gotten to the point where lax-er laws are doing far more to help the abusers of freedom carry out vicious crimes than the law-abiders to protect themselves. And so long as that is the case, it will be the insane people not the good guys who will be the poster children for gun freedom.

My sister is in Texas and all around her the state is “purpling” over issues like this. Can you imagine losing TX to the Dems? Not too many years away from that. Just giving you a reality check.

You are in far, far, far more danger from government than you are from armed crazies.

Governments murdered 262,000,000 of their own citizens in the 20th century alone, and every one of those democides had citizen disarmament as a prerequisite, and most of those democides were committed by “redistributionist” governments.

So what do you suggest needs to be done by government to protect us from armed mass-murderers like government?

A while ago, someone pointed out the futility of many drug and firearm restrictions in a free society, when you consider that there are weapons and drugs IN PRISONS!!

Or, upon reflection, maybe the prison example offers insight into the REAL intent behind many drug and firearm restrictions in a free society...

The best defense is an offense. More armed citizens exercising their 2A rights anywhere, anytime, anyway. Constitutional Carry. Put these animals down where they stand and this sh*t will come to a screeching halt.

Chicago’s problem is demographic and cultural.

I blame the schools and the PC culture.
Young people get angry too easily because they are frustrated. They respond in extremes.

He’s backing off of going wobbly on gun control. Good. Now he’s got a shot of getting re-elected in 2020.

(Although, I do expect him to go all-in on gun control on Jan 21, 2021.)
