Let's See Who Responds To This!

[WT Reader]

WT, Dennis, One would think that after 40 years of Progressive social welfare policy and the resulting disaster these enslavement programs have wrought upon tens of millions of Americans, the Progressives would finally acknowledge that this problem cannot be fixed by gun control. I think the solution to this egregious assault on disadvantaged American citizens is clearly articulated by State Senator James Meeks and the Illinois Policy Institute. Or, maybe you could contact Otis McDonald, the plaintiff in McDonald v. Chicago, and tell him that common sense and reasoning is the solution to his problem. I'll give you a fair warning, he is a senior citizen and obviously doesn't believe you have a viable solution to his problem. They banned firearms in England and now knives have been banned. Would you rather be shot or stabbed or pummeled to death? Maybe the Progressives should take another look at their Eugenics studies of the early 20th Century. How would you two justify your existence? H-m-m?

Your comment is totally irrelevant to the spree of GUNFIRE that riddled Chicago last week and left eleven persons dead and eighteen wounded FOR NO REASON. Study after study after study has proven that where guns are more AVAILABLE, they are MORE READILY USED.

As for knives, knives are not as statistically lethal as are guns. Crime reports reveal year after year that there is MORE gun violence in the USA than knife
violence...and the killings last week were not by knives, they were by BULLETS shot from GUNS.

So get real, and stick with the topic at hand. Chicago certainly has....Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis has developed a new policy of dealing with this violence, which does not call for abandoning gun control, but rather stricter curfews, more police in troubled neighborhoods, crackdowns on loud parties and noise, targeting cars with expired license plates and tinted windows, etc. Read more here:
