Guns, Criminals and reality.

It is almost laughable, the idea that most Progressive Liberals have in regards to the Criminal Gang War in Chicago. The weapons used are all that you are told about... what about the criminals? Who is working to expose the killers? The media is afraid to even show their faces... afraid to blame the person that pulled the trigger! No, lets blame the guns, oh those damn things, they are what is killing hundreds of people a year in Chiraq. When a person is Arrested in Cook County, they are put back on the street within 5 days with a plea deal. The system is corrupt and broken. The Cook County Jail is full to the top with over 10,000 inmates! No wonder Illinois has the 2nd highest property taxes, we have to support the mess called Cook County! The Detroit Chief of Police has credited gun owners for the recent decrease in home break-ins. The criminals fear being shot...not being arrested.
