A 15-year-old girl who performed at President Obama's inauguration last week was shot dead Tuesday while hanging out with friends in bullet-scarred Chicago.

More than twice as many murders in Chicago as deaths in a war over the same period of time. Looks like their brilliant strategy in this city is doing wonders!

Pendleton's murder was one of three shooting deaths in the city on Tuesday. More than 40 people have been shot dead in Chicago since the beginning of the year. There were 506 homicides in the city last year, a 16 percent increase even as other large cities, like New York, saw murders drop.

“We are awash in guns,” Durbin said, noting that six times as many guns as confiscated in Chicago as in New York each year. We have guns everywhere and some believe the solution to this is more guns. I disagree.”
If gun laws are the answer....how is this even possible? How can a rational and logical person come up with this conclusion, say it out loud, and not find the flaw in their assessment?

Nevermind...I answered my own question.

Guns have existed for hundreds of years. We know from prior exercises that prohibition doesn't work. Guns exist and always will. The guns aren't the problem. It's who has the guns that's the problem. The geniuses in government have assured that criminals have guns and the law abiding (victims of government) do not.

I guess we all understand by now that liberal logic is so flawed and stupid that it might as well be considered a form of mental disorder- or just deafness... "If gun control actually works, then Chicago should be the safest city in the world!" [facepalm]

Chicago has a criminal problem, not a gun problem,

Sounds like the honor student was hanging with some boys that were not as nice as she was.
