But hell, kill 20+ upper class white children and WORLD comes to stop. Where is Obummer NOW demanding "action?" Where are ANY of the anti gun, "pro people" NOW demanding action? No where to be found.

Just continues to show what a bunch of hypocritical liars these supposed liberals are.
You may not have gotten the memo but the whole gun control faux movement died shortly after the polling numbers came back and the democrats realized they were risking losing the Senate in 2014 over the issue given all the rural state senate seats in play.

Gun control isn't going to happen, you can thank the rural states with their 2 senators each for that.

I am not aware of this and I have lived in or near Chicago on and off most of my life.
According to this, 12 cities have Chicago beat for murder:

I favor doing so.

Put some tanks on the streets. Sure beats giving them away to Egypt.

So basically, you want people to kill each other more.

I live about 45 miles NW of Chicago. I am not sure if anyone has ever been shot ( not counting suicides) in my home town.

Street gangs are basically terrorist groups and should be treated as such.
You have a point there. They are terrorists.
