We need more guns to protect from the guns that we already have with bad guys!!!!

Please make it more easier to buy!!!!

Interesting.

Can you explain to me why Chicago has such a high murder rate then? Toughest gun laws in the country.

Over 200 million guns in this country, 99% of them owned by people who have committed no crime and you want to somehow hold them accountable? Disgusting.

Now after reading your post, I am advocating for Freedom of Speech limitation so I don't have to come across such nonsense again.

Strict gun laws in places like NYC and Chicago do little good when you can go over the border to to the next state and buy a gun at a trade show. There are far too many guns being purchased without any background checks, we need to separate mentally ill people from their guns, licensing, background checks need to be put in place and the industry needs stronger regulation.
