37 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, Seven of them fatally. Gun ban not working..
Obviously the Chicago “Gun Ban” still doesn’t mean anything to criminals, & it isn’t helping to stem the tide of violence in the city. Instead of only evil or morally confused people having guns, responsible citizens should have them also, that way the criminals never know who will take them down if they try to shoot anyone else in the citizenship. We know that criminals will always find a way to get guns, just like drugs. Even legal drugs are abused by a few, compared to the millions who use them for their intended treatments or purposes. Should we ban all pain killers then? Make good law abiding people suffer severe pain, because a few idiots abuse prescription drugs?
A half baked quote from The Superintendent of the Chicago Police:
“There are just too many weapons here,” the superintendent, Jody P. Weis, said at a news conference. “Too many guns, too many gangs.”
Well that’s about half right… Guns don’t go off without a homicidal idiot behind them. How about cleaning out the gangs?
Also, why are these anti-violence programs that actually work, being cut? People talking to people… Wow, now there’s a novel concept huh?
Like I’ve said before, this just proves that politicians have been on the wrong track with imposing gun bans. These handgun bans haven’t done anything to stop crime in D.C., or in Chicago, & that’s now become an irrefutable fact.
When only criminals have guns, only innocent people get shot or victimized. That is an injustice, & a crime against humanity in of itself. That is also why our forefathers instituted the second amendment.
In fairness, Superintendent Weis eventually went on to touch on the real crux of the matter:
“We’ve got to get children back into being children,” Superintendent Weis said. “Not cold-blooded killers. Law enforcement cannot replace parents. Parents have to take a very aggressive role.”
That’s right Chicago.. If you take every gun off the planet, & have bad parental guidance for children, they will sharpen sticks, plastic, & butter knives to stab each other to death with if they have to.
