GRANDPAW can you tell me how the gun laws in Chicago are working ???????

You're obviously quite young. I'm a "lib" AND an ex-many-year-NRA member. I WAS proud to be. They used to spend most of their time teaching the young to handle guns safely. I know because I taught NRA sanctioned gun safety at a local "Y". Yes, gun deaths were mostly accidental. That is until it became "fashionable" to "carry"! Before Charleton Heston, one of my favorite actors, made it cool to resist having guns "torn from his cold, dead hands!" Too bad. That became a sort of "battle cry" from the NRA because a very few actually wanted to take guns away from people. It NEVER would have happened! There IS a Second Amendment! But now that battle cry has thrown the whole thing out of proportion, and some idiots have decided they have to arm themselves against people who only want COMMON SENSE gun control. I'm no longer a proud NRA member because the idiot that took over after Heston used the idiots to make $millions! Too bad. I'd fight for MY guns too, but I do NOT want terrorists (foreign or domestic), to be able to get a gun as easy as a normal person. Today, hundreds get "blown away" because of those that have "blown things out of proportion"!

CRAZY GRANDPAW another day and more insane rants !!!!!

DUMMY who are your DOMESTIC ENEMIES ????????

Oh shut up you moron. You're living in the seventeenth century.

Right. Because the country you mock for "losing wars" could easily take on a giant country where everyone is armed...

The Government officials make up and extremely small population. They could easily be targeted by large groups of armed citizens. I personally am not a statist I find government to be the greatest evil in the world but that is a different debate. If the government became too oppressive certain sectors of the population would organize and make an attempt at a government overthrow.

FYI Nixon did NOT order the military to shoot protesters, The shooters were Natl. Guardsmen under the authority of the governor of Ohio #1 There was no official permission to fire on protesters. The only sad truth is that the murderers were never brought to justice.

As for 9-11 the general public (the sheeple) don't want to have to deal emotionally with the fact that their president, vice pres, and the nation of Israel were the ones responsible for the 9-11 attacks and the rest of us that do realize that know that without large numbers we don't stand a chance,, That is reality

I have many guns which I use for many things yet none of them have ever been used to harm another human being so why shouldn't I be permitted to own and use them as I wish? I use my guns for hunting (supplying food for my family) I use them to control furry garden destroyers, The children and I use them competitively for entertainment instead of mind numbing video games. I fail to understand why the government should have the right to interfere with that. If indeed someone were to come to my home with the intention of harming me or my family my guns could be my only chance to save the lives of me and my family.

Your comment is the one that lack intelligence If a robber doesn't harm anyone than why would the victim be upset about being robbed? Of course a robber harm the person they have robbed. Just like a murderer harms the victim and the family of the victim. These are criminal acts which should be dealt with severely. I would contend that if "Gun Crime" were the only thing punished but in a way to prevent recurrences that would truly reduce gun crime.
