#1 I love the way they act like the Gun Lobby just forces everyone to do what they want. Actually its the massive number of NRA members and other supporters behind the group that make them powerful.

#2 Thugs know you don't have a gun, (I do, several.) this emboldens them.

They need to fear you.

My guns put fear into them, I'm old enough to not give a shit.So I'm left alone, not even scammers bother me.

#3 Posturing, pure and simple. Here's a clue, Jesse. It ain't NRA members gunning each other done on the streets of Chicago. It's young black men in poor neighborhoods, most likely resolving disputes over "commerce". Maybe you could cordon off the city and go block by block, house by house confiscating guns. But I doubt you have the will or the manpower. Seriously bad optics.

But even if you could magically wish guns away, do you think the killings would stop? If so, you're an even bigger idiot than you appear to be. Dunno who said it, but the problem is not too many guns, it's too many criminals.

It's like the black culture and values and it's attitude to the work involved in actual commerce make the areas poor.

The trouble is it only takes a minority of vermin to ruin an area, but the REAL problem is in Black majority area they protect "their" vermin.

#7 "victims of guns". Wrong essentially in the first paragraph

#8 "victims of guns"

What, the guns took themselves out of the drawer or off the table and went out and killed someone by themselves?

This clown gives new meaning to the words "clueless dumbass leftist" (but I repeat myself).

#10 It's young black men in poor neighborhoods, most likely resolving disputes over "commerce"

It's far more civilized to set up an advocacy group and strong-arm corporations into providing "opportunities." Say a beer-distributorship or two for the family...

#11 It's well known that Chicago does a very poor job enforcing the gun laws it has. There are stringent penalties for committing a crime with a gun, especially for felons. Why don't you start with that. Lock up second offenders for 25 years, no parole.
