Chicago...has strict gun control laws so they only had 37 injured, 6 killed over weekend

[2aguy]

Yes....Chicago...where they still won't allow gun stores.....and still have strict gun laws....saw a shooting gallery over the Labor Day weekend...

37 shot, 6 killed in Chicago over holiday weekend

And as the Police Superintendant pointed out.....judges and prosecutors are not locking up gun criminals.....

Why is that...they bitch and moan about gun crime...and then when they catch a criminal using a gun to commit a crime...the let them out in less than 2 years....and these are the same people doing the shooting over and over again....

It is almost as if they want these shootings to happen.....

Please go through, case by case, and tell us where more guns would have made that better?

And BTW, guns don't kill people, they're for protection...

And here is a look at what happens when you arm women to stop rape…..a case sample….

http://www.hoboes.com/pub/Firearms/Data/Crime/Florida/Gun%20Ownership%20Stops%20Rape/

In Orlando, Florida, in 1966 a series of brutal rapes swept the
community. Citizens reacted to the tripling in the rate of rape
over the previous year by buying handguns for self-defense; 200-300
firearms were being purchased each week from dealers, and an unknown
number more from private parties. The newspaper there, the _Orlando
Sentinel Star_, had an anti-gun editorial stance and tried to pressure
the local police chief and city government to stop the flow of arms.
When that tactic failed, the paper decided that in the interest of
public safety, they would sponsor a gun-training seminar in conjunction
with the local police. Plans were made for a one-day training course at
a local city park.
Plans were made for an expected 400-500 women. However,
more than 2500 women arrived, and brought with them every conceivable
kind of firearm. They had to park many blocks away, and the weapons
were carried in in purses, paper bags, boxes, briefcases, holsters,
and womens' hands. One police officer present said he'd never been so
scared in his life. [It must have been quite a sight! ]
Swamped, the organizers hastily dismissed the women with promises for
a more thorough course with scheduled appointments. The course offered
was for three classes/week, and within 6 months, the Orlando police had
trained more than 6000 women in basic pistol marksmanship and the law
of self-defense.
The results?
In 1966 there were 36 rapes in Orlando, triple the 1965 rate. In 1967,
there were 4.
Before the training, rape rates had been increasing in
Orlando as nationwide.
5 years after the training, rape was still
below pre-training levels in Orlando, but up 308% in the surrounding
areas, 96% for Florida overall, and 64% nationally.
Also in 1967, violent assault and burglary decreased by 25% in Orlando,
in addition to the rape reductions.
In 1967, NOT A SINGLE WOMAN HAD FIRED HER WEAPON in self-defense. In
1967, NOT A SINGLE WOMAN HAD TURNED HER GUN ON HER HUSBAND OR BOYFRIEND.
(No data are available for later years.)
The reason the program worked so spectacularly well is that it was
widely known that Orlando women had the means and training to defend
themselves from attackers. Rapists, being (somewhat) human, they are
learning engines; they took their business elsewhere--to the detriment
of the defenseless in those other locations.
Department of Justice victim studies show that overall, when rape is
attempted, the completion rate is 36%. But when a woman defends herself
with a gun, the completion rate drops to 3%.

And for 19.95 you can read Southwick's 2000 study on guns that talk about rape.....

This one gives the actual percentages of how rapes are stopped...guns come out on top...

And your solution is to remove strict gun control and it will all be better? LOL.

I think what he is pointing out is that YOUR solution, the lefts solution, HAS BEEN A COMPLETE & TOTAL FAILURE.

Only the dumbest of idiots can't see that.

It occurs to me that this black on black gang murder spree may be a design feature and not a "bug" in the Prog system.

The Progs are, at bottom racists, as their history shows. The Great Society programs destroyed nuclear family formation among inner city blacks. Now, they are largely criminals or government dependents. At some point, their usefulness as a voting bloc will be outweighed by their cost to the system. So perhaps, this is just a development to eliminate the inconvenient population.

I wouldn't put it past the Prog Eugenicists to think this way.

It probably has to do more with them just not caring…..all they need are enough minorities to show up on election day, and every other day they could care less……..

That is one of the reasons why they don't have enough police to protect the minority areas…..but more than enough for the white democrat areas and the areas their allies live in…..

On top of that…in Chicago…the gangs often choose who the aldermen will be in their districts, and they get those aldermen to vote down more police resources…..

It will be better for the innocent, law abiding Chicago citizen, who lives in a neighborhood with little to no police protection, who has to face violent criminals all on their own. Their having a gun will likely save their lives.
