Chicago needs to ban guns.
ReplyDeleteThug control.
ReplyDelete12:55 Chicago doesn't need to ban guns the need to ban the liberal democrats running that city and hire Rudy Juliani to clean up that cess pool.
ReplyDeleteChicago has the strongest gun laws in the nation, but as you can see the criminal element could give a rats a** about the laws. The criminals run rampant because they know the chances of someone shooting back at them are nill due to the gun laws. Just like prohibition, outlawing something does not make it magically disappear! If the criminal element wants it they will find it on the black market with no problem!
