Just another day in Chicago

Quote from Maverick74:

Ricter, if you were my son, let God bear witness that you would never so much as go near 100 yards of a gun. That is a fact.

You won't teach your son to shoot??

I'll teach my son to read, write and balance a checkbook. And if he got into trouble, well, I'll find a solution to that. Parenting is the difference Ricter. Not more laws.

I would have guessed you'd be a dad who'd teach his kids to shoot. You don't hunt, target shoot, nothing?

[I don't mean to imply there is anything wrong with that.]

Why does a kid need a gun?

Because a kid cannot depend on an adult to protect him. He cannot depend on the law to protect him. A teacher, hall monitor cannot protect him. A kids parents may be awol, or tell the kid to go get back bike I just bought you that you let someone steal.

I don't own a gun. I don't hunt. I don't target shoot.
 
Quote from Ricter:

Fairly sure that if we want to catch up on Chicago news, there are websites besides this one where we can do that. : )

Says the guy who admits he doesn't trade but hangs out on a trading web site?

Quote from CaptainObvious:

Passing tougher gun control laws will be about as effective as raising the retirement age will be in offsetting Social Security problems. Neither addresses the root cause. SSN is broke because congress is allowed to use it as a slush fund. Until that changes you can rasie the f'n age to 100 and it won't don't anything but delay the inevitable. Sorry, but any chance I get to work in this wholesale theft of our money, I just can't help myself. Back on topic.
Gang bangers and other violent criminals will get guns no matter how tough the gun laws get. The root cause of all the killing is we now live in a throw away society and life is cheap. When the kids are being rasied by grandma, and grandma has yet to turn 30, that's a problem. Add to that a complete lack of social guidance within the community, a public school system that forgives any and all types of behavior, a court system that hand slaps even the most violent offenders...and here we are.

You are right about guns laws and citizenry. I mean gun laws and the institutional gun runners that get these guns, and crack, into the neighborhoods. You know, those guys at the Lord of War level.

Just how does a kid get his hands on an M-16 anyways?
