Two men killed, 14-year-old wounded in overnight shootings. “At least 30 people have been shot since 6:20 p.m. Friday, 7 of them fatally.” They call it the windy city because of the breeze created by all those bullets whizzing by all the time. Yes libtards, gun control laws sure work!

“There’s just way too many guns in this city," Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a press conference following the ruling. "There’s way too many guns in the state of Illinois. And it’s one of those situations that if we don’t do something about it – and everything we do matters--if we don’t do something about it, it’s just going to continue at the rate that it is.”
No, not too many guns. It's just that the wrong people have them.
Stories like this are why I fully support gun control.
EVERY AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD SHOULD CONTROL AT LEAST 1 GUN.
This was the community Obama organized.
No, Al Capone organized it, Obama just fine tuned it.
What is needed in this country is swift justice for the murderers. Don't tell me they don't know who did it. There are so many security cameras around these days, I don't buy that they can't find the perps and when found they should be put on the express line of justice.. no plea bargains, no insanity. Give them a court appointed lawyer, impanel a jury, and get 'em convicted with special circumstances and let 'em meet their maker.
"Police said witnesses at the scene weren't cooperating with police"
Police:" Can anyone tell us what happened."
Witnesses: "Din see nothin."
Two Days later
"The PO-leece don't care what happens here in da black neighborhood."
Repeat over and over and over and over, etc etc etc.
Very very sad situation.
I think this can all be traced back to Chicago's terrible lack of strong gun control laws.
The massacre in Colorado appears to have made for increased interest in gun ownership in Illinois. CBS Chicago reports that, according to the Illinois State Police, more than 1,200 FOID card background checks were requested the day after the shooting, an increase of 41 percent over the previous Saturday.

"Mayor Rahm Emanuel rewrote a section of the ordinance, permanently banning anyone with a violent felony conviction from firearm ownership, and placing a five-year ban on gun purchases for anyone convicted of a violent misdemeanor, the Chicago Sun-Times reports."
Well now, THAT would have stopped the Colorado shooting spree, wouldn't it?
Hilarious! Imagine rhammy thinking HE made it illegal for a FELON to own a firearm! That f'ing puke pustule.
