The Illinois Supreme Court found the state’s assault weapons ban constitutional. It was passed after the Highland Park shooting last year.

    Colt called the revolver the great equalizer. Women were at a great disadvantage from an attacker, and weaker men untrained in fighting were at a disadvantage to stronger men or those with a weapon. When you have a gun you have a much better chance of not getting raped or mugged and the rapist or mugger has a higher chance of never trying it again. Viola. Better society.

        You keep projecting this fear on me. I am not afraid. I am merely speaking the truth.

                Well you’re obviously very dense because you keep trying to insult me and it’s not working. You’re completely off the mark.

                    So, what are your opinions on “snitching”? Do you think you should ignore crimes because telling on the criminal isn’t cool? Honestly the fact that you seem to deny high rates of gang violence seems to indicate you’re denying reality because it’s inconvenient.

                    Just because your political opponents say something is a problem doesn’t mean they’re lying or wrong.
