Yes! Because taking away guns from law-abiding citizens is the only way to curb gun violence!screen glare wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 7:32 amAfter the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting and dismemberment slaughter - I was certain Congress would pass common sense gun safety laws. The massacre of five and six year olds and their teachers via a shooter firing an automatic weapon of war in classrooms right before Christmas - stirred such searing, nauseating revulsion in most Americans - I thought Congress would finally stand up to the NRA gunmaker lobby and pass legislation to curtail the crime of frequent mass murder shootings.
It didn’t happen.
That’s when I realized not enough Americans felt they personally could be shot and killed, next. I reasoned the frequency rate of such horrific gun downs would have to increase to nearly back to back episodes - to shock most of us into demanding Congress do something.
That’s what’s finally now happened after the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings. That back to back alarming rapidity - combined with the racist white supremacist shooter’s manifesto - mirroring Trump’s hateful words and sentiments in videos of his rallies rerunning on all media platforms - has moved most Americans to demand Congress finally find its collective spine.
This time most of the nation will not relent.
It’s working great in Chicago! It’s a “gun-free” city and had its most violent weekend a few days ago! More than 300 people killed this year in Chicago, 7 killed this weekend, more than 30 people shot this weekend. 1,600 people shot this year in Chicago! It’s working!!!

If we disarm the entire state of Illinois, that’ll drive numbers up! Let’s do it!
