(V): Once again the quick fix of gun regulations rears its ugly head. Chicago has strict gun laws but the criminals don't follow the rules. Imagine that!
50,000 people are killed in knife attacks each year. Let's ban silverwear. On a more serious note, if a loon wants to kill people, there are plenty of ways to kill people. Knives, machetes, cross bow, Exacto knives (what they used to take over the airplanes on 911,) poisions, cars, mobs.....if you can think it, you can use it.
But leave it to the left wing loons to use a tragedy to push for gun control. They are ok with knives killing people. They are ok if cars kill people. But use a gun, now that's a terrible crime.
These are the same people BTW that are perfectly fine with a doctor reaching into the womb and ripping apart a defenseless human being. These are the same people that are ok with partially delivering a baby (leaving the head in the mother) and cutting a slit in the back of the baby's head and sucking it's brains out a tube. THAT is fine with these people. But gun ownership? God forbid thousands die from guns but millions from abortions, yeah, they are ok with that.
