It's above obvious that they only want to go after law abiding gun owners. It's almost as if they WANT the criminal gang element to be armed like they are. Maybe Obama is planning on using them as his personal army...
That would be revolutionary wouldn't it??

And what requires a revolution??

Nothing short of a strong and persistent military presence is going to take back these neighborhoods in several major metro areas. Bring the troops home and deploy them to our inner cities. Put tanks in the streets and be ready to move as the targets move.Time to declare war on gangs.
Well, yes and no one this. The military on our streets might make the streets safer. However "move as the targets move", I have a problem here. How are you going to know who is a gang member and who isn't? You can't just go into the streets and shoot just anyone. You have to know who the gang members are, and sometimes you have to catch their crimes in the act.

It was sarcasm, but can you figure out why Liberals hate it when police try to get these weapons off the streets? Why do they cry about violating these criminal's rights but have no problem targeting non criminals' rights?

Who's doing most of the shooting killing in Chicago? I hope you're aware of the fact that gangs use young kids who are more likely subject to juvie laws instead of being charged as an adult and/or use murder as a gang initiation rite when inducting 12-year-olds, etc.

Even the law-abiding? If you do that, all it will do is provoke anger, and then you will have big problems.

Of course not, but what's the explanation that Liberals freak out when cities try to get these ILLEGAL weapons off the streets? Why don't they care? I've seen many Left wingers here state that they aren't that concerned about it because they aren't killing a bunch of kids in one shot, although they kill more over the course the year. There is absolutely NO explanation for this type of thinking and inaction.
