Why is it that you think poster needs another drink. Guessing you know them personally, otherwise, just a rude post to someone you have zero knowledge of.

My question for all those who want to ban guns is, how do you explain and deal with what happens every single weekend in Chicago wbi h has the strictest gun laws in the country? Bad people will always be able to get a gun but we want to foolishly take guns away from away abiding citizens. How upside down can our society get?

Nobody so far had said anything about banning guns. Why bring it up?

This area, known as Chicago’s “North Shore” to locals, is among the wealthiest collection of suburbs in the country. These are idyllic towns that look like they came out of a Hallmark movie, and are home to many movers, shakers, captains of industry and their very, very privileged families. In other words, this kind of thing isn’t supposed to happen there.

But it did. And the knee-jerk reaction was swift and predictable. “BAN GUNS!!” Illinois, Chicago and the suburbs arguably have the strictest gun laws in the country. But this still happened, and Chicago continues to make national headlines for the daily body counts. People are getting numb to it. “Ho hum. Another 50 people shot this weekend. Pass the salt.”

Maybe we should stop castrating our police departments, stop electing soft-on-crime prosecutors and woke political leadership, stop focusing on identity and pronouns instead of competence, and stop the indoctrination in the classroom that no longer teaches America the Beautiful, but America the Oppressor.

The problem is that our culture is suffering from severe mental illness. You combine that with easy access to guns and this is what you get. No, it's not just the guns and it's not just the mental health problem. But combine those two and it's like the synergistic effect, and we have this explosion of gun violence. Yes, we need better mental health and yes we need more gun control.

To use Chicago as an example of gun control not working is an outlier and a problem with social conditions there. If you look across the board at other nations with strict gun control, it does work. The fact that we don't follow their example is a sign of cultural mental illness.

[Joe C.]

When you look at other countries that have strict gun control, you will see that they are Socialist or Communist countries (Australia and Great Britain are Socialist), and not Democratic Republics (which the U.S. is). But, let's not go there.

Rather than disparage Chicago, how many of you on this thread are willing to take a stronger stand on weapon ownership and if so, what would it be? ONLY asking to hear from those who believe that a stronger stand on weapons is necessary.

I think you miss the point. Chicago's insanely high shooting numbers are not due to people with legal guns.

Half the time these killers don’t even have a motive for their murdering rampages.

Weekly? This is was 308th mass shooting this year and it's the beginning of July.
