Chicago is the center of America’s crime industry, everything that is bad and fucked up comes from Chicago.
This group is seeking to train and equip the population of Chicago with shotguns. The city is suffering from some of the strictest gun laws in the country, so this should be a great equalizer, giving those who still care about their lives a fighting chance.
Criminals know how to get guns, and a shotgun usually is not the first choice. However, a few may get them from the sudden market glut and theft.
Criminals are much less likely to break into your house, raping and killing your loved ones while at work if they know everyone has a shotgun.
Less crime = Less Control for Democratic Dictatorship, in the people show evidence of independent progress and economic stability, then they loose control. This is a grave threat to the dems, and they will find even more perverse reasons why their strongholds can’t be safe.
Hey man, flagrant partisanship aside, I have a tendency to lean a couple of odd ways on gun control. I grew up making my own bullets, and in spite of never being in the military, I bet I know almost as many people who’ve been shot as you do. Most of them really good people. Some of them are still alive even. That’s another can of worms.
I don’t think that one city is the head of a crime industry. I’m pretty sure that crime kinda runs in a cell sort of system. Drug dealers across America don’t really know each other unless they met doing something else. Guys who are bringing in shit tons of hard stuff are doing it for money not for some weird psychological control over the hood.
At the end of the day I think that anyone who wants a gun ought be able to have one until they illustrate that they’re going to be reckless with it. It should also be the case that a murder conviction should only come after a murder, and not an act of self defense.
How should the policy read to placate everyone’s sensibilities?
Does it matter? Guns exist and people have them already. If it’s truly the case that you think you might have to stand up for your life with a gun, then it’s the case that you might have to use your life to stand up for your gun. You know the story, live by it, die by it. Since there just wont be a world without them, the realist just has to recognize that a lot of civility is an illusion and that the wisest thing a man can do is cover his ass and keep his eyes peeled. This applies no matter who you are or what you do.
