A lavish NY Times piece on gang murders in Chicago

This carnage could be stopped with a change in the law that requires automatic death for the shooter for the following crimes: Dealing drugs while in possession of a firearm; drive by shootings; armed robbery with a firearm or a facsimile firearm; car jacking while in possession of a firearm; shooting at police; no plea bargain to a lesser crime. All appeals must be made within 30 days or the appeal will be disqualified. Ay bets that gun crime drops in 7 days.

joem1945 - I agree.
But too many states have disavowed capital punishment for this to happen.
Too many bleeding heart liberals who say that the shooter had a bad upbringing.
I say that's nonsense but who am I other than just another life member of the NRA.

About 60% of gun homicides are committed by black people. Black people make up about 14% of the population.... Statistics are racist. Honestly, its pretty darn scary. Gang violence poses a much more real threat to our nation's people than terrorism ever has. To make matters worse, the anti freedom Liberals use the violence committed by that 14% to steal everyones Liberty.

I figure give anyone who wants one a 1911 and five boxes of .45ACP and let them all settle it among themselves.

That's the Terry Theory Of Crime Management (TTOCM*). 'Cept I think some folks came up with it before me... Lewis L'Amour and Zane Brown or some names like that.

But, you know, "This isn't the Wild Midwest" any more.

To me, the focus on killings in Chicago is remarkable, considering that compared to New Orleans ,St.Louis and Detroit, among others, Chicago's murder rate is very low. St.Louis has 3 times as many killings per 100,000 people.

The city has close to 3 million people which the media and the public at large tends to forget.. Here are the FBI stats for 2014.

It's just an easy target with its Nitti,Capone, Ryan Blago,Daly and now Rahm Emanuel, background.

"She is glad her own son is in jail, because the alternative is unbearable".
“He was bound to be shot this summer,” she says.

I think this quote speaks volumes about the people that are committing these crimes and how reliant many of these people are on outside "help"

Stupidity knows no bounds

Beware! The Anti-Constitutionalists are trying to turn negatives into positives and losses into wins:

"There have been more guns sold since I have been president than just about any time in U.S. history."
