      They tried that. They are functionally banned in Chicago and yet the gun crime rate is much higher than anywhere else.

      Also, shall not be infringed. More people need to understand what that means.

        thanks for all that propaganda… it’s useless… we know your gun is keeping you safe, and it’s basically a magic fucking weapon isnt’ it…

        people like you have a mental illness that has yet to be defined properly… firearm dependence…

          Here’s the solution to Chicago. Start snitching. Defend yourself against criminals. Make the criminals afraid of mugging people or getting sold out by somebody in their group. They need to get back to the FAFO days.

            back to the FAFO days.

            never been any such days… it’s a delusion attached to your precious firearms… you have an illness…

            of course, back in those FAFO days you’re talking about, we’d just call you a coward… yellow… because you sit around all day pissing your pants about what somebody needs to do about the gangs, and how many guns you need for it…

              Colt called the revolver the great equalizer. Women were at a great disadvantage from an attacker, and weaker men untrained in fighting were at a disadvantage to stronger men or those with a weapon. When you have a gun you have a much better chance of not getting raped or mugged and the rapist or mugger has a higher chance of never trying it again. Viola. Better society.
