And obama as Senator of Chicago voted gang members should not get a harsher penalty for crimes where guns were/are used....

Just like we have said take away the rights of legal gun owners and only the criminals will have them! Yet another LIBERAL Experiment gone bad .When will they learn...



Nathaniel T. Jackson, 40, an alleged gang member with a long arrest record, was gunned down last week outside a store in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, becoming the Windy City's 500th murder victim in 2012.
Up to 80% of Chicago's murders and shootings are gang-related, according to police. By one estimate, the city has almost 70,000 gang members. A police audit last spring identified 59 gangs and 625 factions; most were on the South and West sides.

And this is why I stay on the north side. The poor are the real losers of this policy. They can't afford to live in nicer, safer areas.

Got statistics? Did gun violence drop after the ban? Just saying murders are x, without context means nothing. Maybe 500 is a huge drop.

The Liberal (Progressive) mentality is doomed, by its own flwas, to failure. It doesn't work. It has less chance of success than a perpetual mothion machine at room termperature.

Criminals do not care if they are allowed to have guns or not. And consider this. Gang culture works very differently. In gang culture, going to prison is not considered a disgrace. It's considered an honor, as there are gangs in prison. If a gang member gets killed by a rival gang member, the rule is often revenge, which involves killing. Banning guns will not stop that. The problem is that many gang members expect to be killed, and for this reason, do not mind killing someone else. Getting to the root of why gangs form, however, would be much more helpful. From there, with a better relationship between the police and all of the communities, would be more helpful.

Now you are just making a low blow. Do you have anything better to do than make disrespectful comments about the President? Actually, this thread has nothing to do with the President.

How was it disrespectful? Isnt that how you deal with problems between two parties? Invite them to the White House and have a Public in the media beer summit? Didnt it work last time? It has to be at least as effective as the Gun Ban in Chicago and Obama's plan to ban scary black rifles.
