Do thousands of Americans day every year from those events? Do you even read my posts before replying?

And please explain how a bomb or grenade was used on 9/11

You might be completely comfortable with the massacre of children in exchange for your right to own a gun and that's your right, but what does that say about you. I see, so because I don't agree with you, you think that I undervalue others opinions? Wrong, I disagree with your your desire to own guns and the death of children you are willing to trade for that right.

You can say that to yourself as many times as you want, but it doesn't mean it's true.

As it stands, we've tried having guns as a legal part of society and thousands of lives are lost every year, yet there are still many that support that. Do you know what the defection of stupidity is? Doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result.

It's time for a change.

Well that's easy enough, problem solved.
I expect over simplifications, but this takes it to a whole knew level. I suppose your motto is, "add millions more guns to the US, and give 5 year olds handguns and that will solve gun violence".

And you are quoting Daoist scriptures from what century? Under what exact context? Trying to apply it to what context?

Again, please go live in Sudan and let up know how life in your lawless society is.

Congratulation, Illinois. Welcome to the club, and I mean that. It won't become the Wild West up there; it hasn't down here in Texas.

it will be a while before there's a concealed carry in Illinois .. and , when it comes, I'm betting It will not be an 'automatic, comes with a FOID' privilege, there will be more court challenges ... debates over the internet about the language of the statute ( witness the millions of pages of drivel over what 'shall issue' should mean in other forums ..) .. It will be like those states that, while they have laws on the books, actually obtaining a permit is VERY difficult and time consuming .. Wouldn't be surprised if there isn't some sort of mandatory Liability insurance clause as well ... One court decision will not settle this issue .

If you do it in Texas that's a pretty good argument for not doing it in Illinois.
