Also handy for blowing a spouse's brains out during a knock-down, drag-out fight.

Or for blowing your own brains out, when life becomes too much to bear.

Or accidentally shooting yourself as you go downstairs to check out a suspicious noise.

Which of those scenarios is more realistic in everyday life?

1. the whole reason for DC's gun ban in the 1st place, a sharp rise in domestic violence in the 70's ....

2. Who the hell cares .... people wanting to off themselves will always find away ... this holds no water with me.

3. Stupid is, as Stupid Does ....

Folks...

...you gotta understand this, gun control, in it's historical context;

It is a RACE issue. The first gun laws in this nation were aimed at people based on the color of their skin and the current ones are and all the ones in between are.

Here it is;

Black Man With A Gun

This guy is a great American.

The article mostly whined about the cost to government. Not once did it address the issue of Constitutionally guaranteed rights.

These folks are using their Constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech to bore me to death.

Canada pretty much has a ban on Free Speech. We have to be careful or we could fall into that rut. The hate speech law.

At no point did the author of the Sun-Times article consider that the city could save all those thousands of dollars of legal fees by rescinding their gun-possession statutes voluntarily. Sounds like a liberal Democrat scare tactic to me.
