Relax all the gun laws and give more guns to stupid, mentally unstable people, The Republican way. Yet one more shining example of why Republicans are a reckless danger to America.
There were 773 murders in Illinois in 2011. More than half were in Chicago. Illinois and Chicago especially have one ofthe strictest gun control in the nation. NYC there were 411 murders and just about nobody is allowed to own a gun unless they are law enforcement. Overall other than the North Eastern United States violent crime is going down. It is simple math. Example, a credit card thief was caught by the owner of a credit card and arrested by the police. On investigation he had 35 stolen credit cards. Each of these law breakers is a small crime wave. Whenever a perp gets taken down by law enforcement, private citizens a small crime wave is stopped in its tracks. Over the past ten years as gun carry permits and more people have armed for home defense, there is just about no community where a story about a perp being shot dead or shot by a victim. That is a lot of damage control and eroded the number of perps and in many instances freed up the court system and jails.
We've seen quite a few courthouse shootings recently. How about making this a regular attraction for overseas tourists coming to the US looking for a thrill?!
The press is quite derelict in their reporting. They make these articles high profile, for a real chance to see some action, send the tourist to Baltimore, they have had 29 murders in January and February. Other good cities are in California, Cali had 1,941 murders in 2011, tops nationwide. While Cali has strict gun laws, the tourist would still have a good chance of seen some real action. The police, fire department and ambulances roll 24/7 for murders robberies rapes, pedophiles and drugs.
@legalbutnotjust:
Yes!You nailed it!Just go to the dmv and watch all happy smiling illegals go in and out in ten minutes with a brand new license,while you take eight hours out of your day just to be told no!
THERE'S the problem in our judicial system(not to mention the CCA-the guards' union).
Another proud day for the National Rifle Association.
Put enough guns out there and tell people enough times that we should have as many guns as possible in the first thing people will think of when they have a problem is to go get a gun. Why bother looking for a rational way to deal with your problems when there's always a gun or two or three close by?
Guess the NRA members dues aren't high enough, since they are always begging me for donations. Of course they want those donations to lobby for weaker gun laws.
Latest news in the media - Kim Kardashian goes blonde and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is pregnant. The former got herself into the limelight through "leaked sex tape"; the latter is a so-called "Reality Star" but she is yet to get married. And we wonder why the moral decay and missing family values in the US of A nowadays? Just where/what is the US priority and focus?
The majority of shootings are done by criminals for profit. The majority of murders in the past and presently occur in the large cities. There are about 43 to 45 murders a day nationwide, most are deemed not news worthy, just the common everyday murder due to robbery, rape, drug deals etc. The outcomes are terrible, death. For the majority of the public good judgement, common sense, staying away from high crime areas, the drugs, the alcohol and the bars the chances for being a victim are extremely low.
Texas?" whats so special about 'Texas".... ask the families of the kids shot in CHARDON OHIO two weeks ago...

Well since the republicans in the Ohio statehouse decided to pass a law a concealed weapon can be carried into bars, what do you think is going to happen in a major city in the state. Alcohol and guns make for a real good combination.
