HuffPo reports that robberies on the CTA (Chicago's trains and buses) are up 77%. Can I now legally have a gun to protect myself, Mayor Daley? Or are you still going to pretend that the Second Amendment doesn't apply in Chicago?
I still haven't heard the mayor's explanation for why gun violence has increased since the total ban on handguns (minus those grandfathered in) went into effect in Chicago in 1982. Sounds like keeping guns out of the hands of people who want to protect themselves is working swimmingly there, eh, mayor? After all, we all know criminals always stop to ponder the legality of their actions before they buy a stolen gun for $10 on a street corner, right?
In a perfect world, there would be no guns. In America in 2009, I think the only reasonable approach is the following: the criminals have guns. Lots of guns. So how on earth are you going to tell a law abiding person he cannot have one to protect himself?
