Okay, so firearms make people violent ? Interesting. There are literally 4 firearms within arms reach of me at this moment, and I have no desire to hurt anyone with them.

They can't. It would show that many of their policies are flawed, and that the rhetoric they've been spewing is causing more violence.

Instead, we see them deflecting.

let's ban all cars and we have 0 car accidents. If we ban all knives, No one will ever die by a knife, EVER! The Democrat thinking.


I have an idea, lets castrate all men and cut off all penises and NO more rapes for women. Let's cut off both hands from men so no man lays a hand on a woman. That's the thinking. This is what taxpayers pay lots of $$$ for higher learning.

I'll address the other glaring problem to the other poster as they started with a flawed claim using anti-science methodology.
Is there a legal diffenece? To me, murder, suicide, accidents by a gun is gun violence.

Maybe a first step would be to treat gun owners like car owners. License, fee, regulate and remove access when necessary. Good idea. I suppose if my kitchen knife was manufactured to kill and all men were rapists, you'd have a point.

Drugs were illegal for the longest time and there's never been a problem getting as many drugs as you want.

The issue is mentality. The mentality these thugs have with Biden and local Democrats in control is they won't be held accountable. They feel they can do anything they want to anyone and get away with it. They are right.

This has been Chicago for a long time. It's nothing new and it's been this way for quite some time.

Do you base anything off of logic, or just emotional responses ?

Should we propose laws against killing someone then ? Oh wait...
