Black Lives Don't Matter?

From The New York Times, August 5th 2019

The police said seven people were killed and 52 wounded by gunfire throughout Chicago from Friday evening to Sunday, including a 5-year-old boy who was shot in the leg while sitting in a car.

There have been at least 300 homicides this year and 1,600 people shot, according to The Chicago Tribune.

52 shootings and seven dead during one weekend, yet nary a peep from Beto, Joe, Elizabeth, Kamala or Corey.

Either they don't care about black people shooting black people or because they don't have a chance to call the President racist because of these shootings/killings, it's not important for them to talk about it.

Illinois has among the strictest gun laws in the country, requiring most residents to acquire a license, or Firearm Owner’s Identification card, before legally owning a firearm or ammunition. Last year, lawmakers passed a measure requiring a 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases and a so-called red flag law, which President Trump endorsed in a speech on Monday and that allows relatives and law enforcement officials to ask courts to confiscate firearms from people deemed a threat to themselves or others. But many of the illegal weapons seized in Chicago come from across the state line in Indiana, where gun laws are less restrictive.

Evidently, criminals don't obey the gun laws. Imagine that.

Don’t worry, screen glare has a plan to reduce gun violence by disarming law-abiding citizens. And since criminals follow all laws, they will use their “common sense” in relation to “common sense” gun laws.

There was a document a long time ago that said the right to bear arms shall not be infringed upon. Meaning, the citizen’s right to have guns should not be limited at all. Does that still apply here or are we just making this up as we go?

Gangs. Turf wars. Gang gun battles. Drive bys. Cross-fire. Semi-automatic weaponry - don’t need many shooters to have high death count.

Drugs. Drug wars. Drug/cash gun battles. Drive bys. Cross-fire.

White guy gun nuts to intervene?
Like Walmart?
Why didn’t they kill white shooter? Open and concealed weapon carriers all packing heat.
Where were they? Crouched in the Depends isle?

Black Chicago gang bangers, drug “soldiers”
better shots? No fear? Less fear?

Just askin’.

I’m going to need a quick Rosetta Stone course to find out what you just said there.

screen glare: “Restrict laws for law-abiding citizens!!!”

That “solution” doesn’t work.

Do you see a call to ban alcohol after a drunk driving accident? Nope! Why? Because it’s ignorant. Restricting alcohol laws? Nope! Why don’t we punish the person who committed the crime rather than banning an inanimate object and pretending to act like it did anything?

Punishment - especially the death penalty, Mr. “pro-life”, is no deterrent to murder.

Built in Breathalyzer blow technology to start vehicles and drive could reduce drunk driving deaths and injuries.

No ability to move a vehicle while driver using a cell phone could also reduce devastating traffic accidents of all kinds.

Get rid of automatic assault weaponry. Offer buy backs. Make those guns illegal to sell. Offer rewards to help track and confiscate them.
Universal background checks are supported by most Americans.
Track materials to build explosives. And/or amounts of chems, fertilizers, etc. being purchased by individuals.
Ban certain ammunition magazines, track individual purchases of ammo.
No more gun shows.
No more loopholes.


The idea always is to decrease deaths, and injuries. Make things better. If not perfect. Nothing is ever perfect where humans are involved.

Do you believe those “founding fathers” in favor of the second amendment to the US Constitution could have ever imagined Columbine, Parkland, Sandy Hook school shootings and those weapons, and victims? Or the Pulse Night Club, El Paso Walmart, Las Vegas concert slaughters? If you say “yes” - you’re a dolt.

Besides killing British forces with muskets - let’s also bring back 20-paces dueling - to settle arguments! Ain’t nostalgia great? Whatever was the way of doing things 240+ years ago - don’t change a thing!!!

Show me where I said “death penalty.”

Guy buy backs don’t work.

The second amendment was intended to allow citizens to protect themselves from an overreaching government. That means, the citizens should be just as well armed as the government.
