“…a man is standing outside of a car, firing a large semi-automatic rifle at a target around the corner we cannot see. Asiaha pushes the little girl indoors…..The shooter’s target was a van traveling east on 66th Street, not even a half a block away. Police say it was found at a nearby hospital with bullet holes on all four sides……a 28 year old male, was hit, the bullet lodged in his head, behind his ear.”-David Schaper, NPR reporter
Local news reports indicate that many Chicagoans are pissing themselves and demanding police state martial law tactics from the government. And of course, they’re demanding the government spend even more tax money on creating a huge paramilitary police force to fight the gangs. How about this, why don’t law abiding citizens get their own guns and start shooting back! That’s what the 2nd Amendment is all about! I’ve noticed that in every case of gang banger shootings the reports indicate the victims are not armed!
Police say most of the gun violence is caused by gang bangers. New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!
“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security……..That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013, calls Chicagoland his homie town
