Are you sure handguns are illegal in Chicago ?

Chicago doesn't have concealed carry, but I think people are allowed to have them in their homes, with proper registration.

I could be wrong.

For you on the left who are rabidly anti-gun, handguns are illegal in Chicago. Do you see how your argument that guns should be banned holds no water whatsoever?

Cocaine is illegal in Chicago too.

That doesn't mean it should be legalized.

Not to worry, though. Guns won't be banned unless the 2nd Amendment is overturned, which is not going to happen.

In thinking about the possibility of the US banning guns, I pictured how the Gov. would go about it. If confiscation is the order given they will go after the low hanging fruit. Which means going after the guns that are registered. The vast majority of the gun problems we see in our streets & schools do not come from guns that are registered. If the Gov. takes the guns of responsible law abiding folks, that leaves the armed criminals with quite an advantage doesn't it?!
I don't see any real options to get guns out of the hands of gangsters & other lowlifes in society, but I do know that they would become embolden by knowing that the odds of that nice family down the street having any way of defending themselves against someone with a .38 is now pretty low and would make for real easy target.

Is there a prerequisite that Republican party members have a low IQ? It seems they have a very difficult time grasping complicated concepts. If something has more than 1 aspect to it they suddenly turn into a bunch of babbling robotic parrots. It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous.

You cannot legislate morality or personal responsibility. If you ever read the book in college back in the 70's called 'Radical Sheik and Mau Mauing the Flack Catchers" it predicted the huge number of dependent predators that would emerge from social programs that fed the mouths of the non productive. Things will only get worse, and responsible people are stocking up on ammunition for the perceived civilization meltdown. Just go to your local walmart and try to buy handgun ammunition. Carry concealed licenses applicants have soared. The good people of our society are fearful of the growing predator base that is described in this article.

And it is all of our faults.

Maybe folks are reared better in Japan.

BASICALLY STUPID PEOPLE....

Everyone knows that the problem is no parenting, no expectations, and a culture of where the excuses of "things happened", "one thing led to another" , "in the wrong place...wrong time" "he disresepcted me" -- Are all excuses for stupid people with poor or no IMPULSE CONTROL.

"One's rearing is more to blame than guns."

BINGO!!!

If you are constantly told and constantly see that life has not meaning. You have never experienced love. You will have no appreciation for life.

Guns are banned in Mexico by the way. The law abiding citizens do not have them at all.

We know how effective the laws in Mexico are.

Guns are freely available to anyone who wants them, even the otherwise law abiding citizens, for not much money.
