Excuse me LeftLies, when are you going to address the atronomical shootings in Chiraq that occur annually?

Worried about rare, isolated police shootings when you need to be worried about your thug neighbors whose vote you fight for every election yet refuse to hold them accountable for the crimes they commit.

Saturday

A 33-year-old man suffered gunshot wounds to the shoulder and back while driving at approximately 1:57 a.m. in the 4300 block of West Madison, Chicago police confirmed. The victim was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital in stable condition.At approximately 3:48 a.m. in the 11800 block of South Vincennes, a 22-year-old man was exiting his vehicle when an unknown man inside of a black Dodge Charger fired shots, police said. The victim was struck in the leg, and listed in good condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center.In the 2400 block of South Blue Island at approximately 4:10 a.m., two victims were shot while inside a vehicle when someone inside a white SUV opened fire, police said. A 32-year-old man was shot in the leg while a second victim, a 37-year-old woman, sustained a graze wound to the left hand. Both victims self-transported to Rush University Medical Center where they were listed in stable condition. **

Friday

At approximately 5:15 p.m. in the 100 block of South Western, a 26-year-old man was shot by an unknown offender during an argument, police said. The victim sustained a gunshot wound to the head, and was transported to Stroger Hospital in stable condition.In the 5200 block of South Halsted at approximately 5:15 p.m., a 25-year-old man and a 24-year-old man were inside a vehicle when someone in another vehicle fired shots, striking both victims, police confirmed.

What the hell are you on about now? I swear, you get more incoherent every time I open one of your posts.
 
Makes me want the total repeal of the 2nd Amendment all the more. Screw all you gun owners. Make possessing personal weapons a criminal offense. Take them all away!

For what it's worth, I don't see Trump or his administration doing anything about it.
 
LOL there you go again. Libs never fail to amuse me.



LOL ironically you should read that link for yourself. Maybe you'll learn how to actually debate.

Point, Michael. You were going to tell me what your point is. In the original post you presumably wanted to make a point. What was it?

Nah Trump has a lot on his plate fighting for a Presidency he fought hard for and earned, on Capitol Hill.

Time for the rest of the Libs to hold their major metropolitan cities accountable. When is that going to happen?
 
This thread is starting how you would expect.

-For the last 4 years in one city alone, Chicago, there have been 2,480 deaths, most of which have been black Americans, 95% of which have been minority.
-There were more people killed in Chicago in 2 years than the entire total accumulated body count of all mass killings in the US going back to 1982.
-None of the shootings in Chicago involved "Assault Rifles".
-In fact despite the single voice of antigun leftists is a call for bans on ARs, in 2018 there were 14,114 recorded homicides. Only 297 were committed by rifles of ALL TYPES, as opposed to 443 committed with blunt objects, 672 caused by beating people to death, 900 involved random weapons not firearm related, and 1515 involved knives or other cutting objects.

And I think we can take the point of the OP. the anti gun left never crawls out from under their rocks unless there is the right kind of shooter or the right kind of victims with the right kind of weapons. If the shooter isnt a white male or a cop (and preferably, a white cop) and the weapon used isnt an AR, the left doesnt say ****. What it proves pretty clearly is that all the idiot antigun left cares about is their 'cause' which is to ban assault rifles.The dont care about gun violence, they damn sure dont give the first **** about victims...and the only thing they DO care about is used in a comparative measure, hardly at all.

But instead, the typical cast of leftists on THIS site rush to ignore facts, to ignore the gun deaths in Chicago and other cities and do everything they can to try to make this all be about anything BUT the crime, violence perpetrators, victims, and day to day bloodshed in rat controlled cities across the country.

Exactly.

How about you protest to stop the violence? Gun owners are not committing the crimes, contrary to popular Lib belief.

Stand behind your law enforcement agencies and empower them even more crack down on crimes.

It's a fact that protests don't stop gun violence as evidenced from the 2018 march on Washington by students protesting gun violence in one of the largest gun protests in U.S. history.

There's plenty Libs can do to curb violence in their major metropolitan cities. If Libs can focus on demonizing one president, focus on naked walk demonstrations and appropriate funds for gender minorities, they can focus on the abhorrent crimes that occur every day in these cities, especially Chiraq.

I don't want to hear excuses from the Left.

And I also said to stand behind your law enforcement agencies, who are overworked and undermanned. Don't want to do that, do you? Goes against every phony narrative y'all stand behind.

So possession of a rock or a stick should be a criminal offense I take it.
 
Protests do NOT stop gun violence...great point.

Thats why we need mandatory minimum sentencing laws to ensure the violent criminals are taken off the street for a MINIMUM of 4 decades.

The undeniable fact is that on the last 2 years in Chicago there has been a steady decline in gun deaths. That coincides with an increase of over 1000 law enforcement officers and the development of 22 satellite police offices.

Exactly. No excuses for the Libs. They want the government to prosecute ass slappings, then they can prosecute the abhorrent amount of criminals running around their major metropolitan cities.

Good start, but more work needs to be done. And not just in Chiraq.

Putting insane pressure on city councils will help greatly. City and state governments can help faster than attacking Trump can.

How about the damned Senate pass some of the gun legislation that has passed in a bi-partisan manner in the House, how about that, huh? A bill the House passed in February to enact universal background checks for all gun purchases -- it was the most significant gun control legislation to pass that chamber since the federal assault weapons ban in 1994.

There are currently other three gun legislation bills passed in the House that are stalled under Mitch McConnell's direction in the Senate, they are in limbo;

HR1186 which is a bill that would ban the sale, transfer or possession of any high-capacity magazine or other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. This bill passed in the House after the Dayton, Ohio mass shooting.

HR1236, this bill would use a federal grant program to incentivize states to pass so-called “red flag” laws. These allow family members and law enforcement to petition the courts to temporarily remove firearms from high-risk individuals.

HR2708, a bill that would ban gun sales to any person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor hate crime or received an enhanced sentence because of hate or bias.

Where are these bills, WHERE ARE THEY? I'll tell you where they are, they're languishing going nowhere in Mitch McConnell's drawer. What is the excuse from the right?

Totally glossed over my previous suggestions. Attacking gun owners will not solve the nearly insurmountable violent crime in YOUR lib controlled major metropolitan cities.

Like Vance previously mentioned, drastically increasing the penalties for violent crime would considerably hinder your beloved voters to think twice before robbing someone at gunpoint or seriously assaulting someone simply trying to go to school.


What is the excuse from the right?

These are YOUR cities. When are you going to take control of them?
 
I never said that. And it's an idiotic analogy if I ever heard one.

Why is it idiotic? You said in post #5, "Make possessing personal weapons a criminal offense." A rock or a stick can be a personal weapon.

Just an ignorant comparison.

Who said that someone doesn't want citizens to own firearms. That's sort of abbreviating the real issue, isn't it? Nobody, and I mean NO BODY has ever said a single word about not wanting citizens to own firearms. Hell, don't you think WE OWN GUNS TOO? Christ you people are so weak-minded and malleable that it's a miracle you can function day to day.

......

What is your actual opinion since you keep flip-flopping on this issue?
