Thank God the Supreme Court overturned the idiotic gun control laws of Chicago. Even though Mayor Daley’s administration is working feverishly to respond with new laws to restrict hand gun purchases within the city limits, we finally have a chance to protect ourselves and not be legalized victims. For the first time in years criminals have to take into account the possibility of actually dying before committing murder and mayhem. I’m thoroughly convinced all it will take is capping a few malcontents like the dogs they are and we’ll see a precipitous decline in violence. The statistics back up my assertion but more on that later.
As hopeless and desperate as some people say some of these guys are I don’t think any criminal is so depressed as to WANT to be killed to make a score. No doubt some have lost all hope and believe life is useless but not most. But hey, if a particular bad boy is ready to risk life itself, oh well. Help him meet is maker is what I say. After all they’re quite happy to help you get there.
While I completely support social programs to help people turn their lives around and improve their conditions they are not the one and only answer for all ills. Why, because everyone will not be changed. Programs to create knowledge and opportunities definitely help change lives. I know plenty of people who have been helped by any variety of government and non-profit programs. However, with the wide variety of opportunities available in neighborhoods nationwide there are still people who won’t take advantage of them but who instead will run headlong towards making wrong life choices with no consideration for or maybe no care for the consequences. Consequently we still have to deal with those types simultaneously while we’re changing the lives of others who want to do it the right way.
So I’m encouraging law abiding Chicagoans and citizens around the country to legally purchase handguns immediately. Register for shooting classes at approved ranges and learn how to properly use your weapon. Statistics show that where a high rate of legal gun ownership exists, gun crime practically does not exist. For those idealists who have embraced their victomhood, let them have it. I’m perfectly O.K. with them being thug target practice. But not me.
Also, join the National Rifle Association which advocates for 2nd Amendment rights as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. If someone breaks into your home and threatens you do what’s necessary. Better them than you and if someone has to die at least now there’s a better chance of you being alive to tell the tale.
