Default Empirical Results & Facts

446 Children Shot in Chicago So Far This Year.

Where Are The Obama Tears?


446 school age children shot in Chicago so far this year with strongest gun laws in country – yet the media is silent.

The cesspool known as Chicago probably has the toughest gun laws in the country, yet despite all the shootings, murders, and bloodshed, you never hear a peep about this from the corrupt state run media.

In Chicago, there have been 446 school age children shot in leftist utopia run by Rahm Emanuel and that produced Obama, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, etc.

Sixty-two (62) school aged children have actually been killed by crazed nuts in Chicago so far this year with almost two weeks remaining in the year.

So why isn’t this news worthy? Is it because it would embarrass those anti second amendment nuts who brag about Chicago’s tough gun laws? Is it because msot of the kids who were shot and killed were minorities? Or is it because the corrupt media doesn’t want to show Chicago in a bad light?

Amazingly, no Obama crocodile tears either.

Bob, with your wonderful internet research skills, can you find me a new country to move to that would suit my lifestyle and interests, with a reasonable cost of living and decent weather?

I always laf at the hypocrisy of prominent gun grabbers. They advocate to take guns and ammo away yet employ armed body guards. None of us would need guns if we always had someone with us who did have a gun and is trained to use it. I guess if everyone I met passed thru a metal detector I'd feel pretty safe. Bunch of hypocrites Obama, Bloomberg, Rohm, Jackson .... f em all.

My Google is at your service Frank but here is a search term for you "exit tax".
A couple of the broke States are kicking it around and how long till Quinn's dim light bulb goes on.

Jimmy, I didn't want to start the argument here so I will just make my point this way...

Cuba is great (from what I hear). Any guy with money is a 10, great cigars, decent % of good looking women and pot is legal.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the author of the 1994 ban on certain types of semiautomatic firearms which expired in 2004, has announced that she will introduce new legislation early next year. Semiautomatic firearms, including semiautomatic weapons sometimes called “assault weapons,” fire one round per pull of the trigger.

Her bill would outlaw more than 100 specifically-named firearms as well as certain semiautomatic rifles, handguns and shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.

No Frank "civil war era" is far too advanced, the Founding Fathers couldn't see that far into the future.

I'm just going to keep a pot of ox renderings boiling on the hearth in case I need to toss it at an intruder.

If we do get to carry here I have my eye on a nice hatchet I saw on that auction site...

Politicians and gun laws reminds me of politicians dealing with budget crises and fiscal cliffs. Hopefully this gun grab cools down when we look at our paychecks next month.

So if this passes, what are the Cook County residents going to do?

http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/publ...ssault-weapons

Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:

Background check of owner and any transferee;
Type and serial number of the firearm;
Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration.


I know there are certain Cook County residents, who will remain nameless, who own items that are supposedly banned currently.
