Rev. Riot is not interested in helping the black community...just his personal bank account.

Weapons of masss destruction huh? That just goes to show that he is more ignorant of firearms than I thought he was.
Because it's easier to believe him than wrap your head around:

Stalin 20-30 million dead
Mao 30-80 million dead
Hitler 6 million+ dead
Rwanda 1.2 million dead

to name a few..

Perhaps he should also chat to those brits that moved over to the US because it is safer than the UK.

Wilmette's charges against DeMar were eventually dropped.
Probably because the DA suspected the law was unconstitutional. If DeMar had been convicted, a Heller-like decision might have come a bit earlier.

I read the Trib editorial, and the call for repeal was definitey tongue-in-cheek.

I had trouble sleeping last night with my irresponsibily unlocked handgun on my nightstand. As soon as my eyes would shut I could hear it creeping across the night stand on its own ready to go outside the house and do violence.


That guy is an idiot. Probably owns one .22lr so he can try and justify his stupid arguments that he's a gun owner too.

Another lib organization who wants to re-write the Constituion to suit their template. How about we take the First Amendment out too and make it a treasonous offense for printing Operational secrets too?? What an idiotic mindset.

Jesse

Iowa loved Jesse in the presidential primaries and won, like Obama.

Daley announced the state is now known as Illinoise.

I'm happy to hear that these communities are pulling back their draconian, Stalinist gun control laws. That they do it under protest only shows how close we are to tyranny in this country. I'm thankful for the SCOTUS ruling.

While we are at it let's "repeal" the Chicago Tribunes First Amendment rights. What a bunch of idiots!

Gentlemen, I think the Trib's "repeal 2A" editorial headline was merely an attention grabber, not a serious statement. True, the author is an anti. Encouragingly, the reader comments are almost 100% 2A supporters.

Repeal the 2nd Amendment

No, we don’t suppose that’s going to happen any time soon. But it should.

The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is evidence that, while the founding fathers were brilliant men, they could have used an editor...

With Jesse Jackson, we have legalized weapons of mass stupidity.

has anyone asked him how his illegitimate child is doing? you know, the one born of his adulterous affair?
