Obama Has Made Chicago Safe and Next is America

The article linked below will give you a good perspective of how Mr Obama's anti gun ownership policies have worked in his former home state of Illinois where he was a senator. He has succeeded in achieving the same level of success as many others around the world who have attempted to disarm law abiding citizens as a knee jerk reaction to controlling violent crime, which only ends up compounding the problem time and time again as statistics have proven.

508 Chicago kids shot in just 16 months

quote:

In this school year alone, 25 Chicago Public Schools children have been murdered. As shocking as that is, that number doesn't begin to tell the real story of how deeply violence is a part of the everyday life of Chicago's children.

Try this number out for size:

A total of 508 Chicago school kids were shot from September 2007 through December 2008, according to data compiled by the school system and released to the Chicago Sun-Times. That's almost 32 children shot each month.

I have briefly addressed the failure of Mr Obama to curtail criminal activity with illegal firearms in his former home state of Illinois in this earlier commentary, while he and his associates through legal wranglings, have continuously attempted to disarm law abiding legal gun owners. If the logic that Mr. Obama is using, is that he must disarm the law abiding public, because those guns have the possibility of being stolen by criminals and then be used to perpetrate crimes, then based on that logic, he should also disarm Law Enforcement, because criminals often break into Police vehicles and steal weapons as I discussed in this earlier commentary. In order for his logic to be consistent on all levels, then Mr. Obama should also disarm our military, because thieves steal weapons from armories, and in the final progression, then I guess it would also be prudent to disarm those who protect him and his family around the clock, because there is a possibility that those weapons could also be stolen and end up in the wrong hands as well. When you analyze this critically, you will realize that twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a year for the rest of his life, Mr Obama will have the best Executive protection for him and his family that money can buy...taxpayers money that is. And ironically, these are the very same taxpayers who afford him protection that he and his associates would like to disarm, eliminating their right to protect themselves and their families. The problem is not some inanimate object made of wood, plastic, and steel, that is incapable of making any decision whether good or bad. The problem is men with evil hearts that take joy in perpetrating violence on the innocent, who will use any means available to do so.

There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a decent person is no threat to anybody - except bad people. -- Charlton Heston
