Chiraq.

A city with a long, long history of gang violence going back to the early 1900's.

Maybe they need bigger Gun Free Zones signs.

Yes, another proof that the existing laws aren't good enough and we need much tighter gun laws.

PLEASE tell me that you're just being sarcastic.

Criminals don't abide by laws. That's why they're called criminals.

Just do what every other sensible poster does and let them have their fun. They are not hurting anyone just because no one takes them seriously. Treat them like you would treat a sarcastic 13 year old. Laugh internally and walk away.

It's easy to sit around knocking angry white men but can you imagine how much difference they could make if they started working to stop black on black crime?

They'd be a formidable force for change.

But criminals are affected by changes in the law. Tighter gun laws = harder for criminals to get guns.

Somehow gun nuts can't seem to grasp this simple concept.

when we become more focused on violence than on police misconduct--- it will get better.
it starts out earlier. we want to talk about teachers, but not student behavior.

NYC probably has the tightest gun laws in the country. Automatic 3 1/2 years just for possession of one. These strict gun laws have done nothing to prevent the daily/weekly shootings that go on here. All it does is drive up gun running businesses.
