What Gun Problem?

Looks like more guns does equal less crime, at least according to Sparklefart's own Justice Department::
  • A Justice Department report slated for official release in July shows that firearm-related homicides have declined 39 percent since 1993, while nonfatal gun crimes dropped an even more impressive 69 percent. This unmistakably positive news could take some of the impetus out of a Democratic push for tougher federal gun restrictions.

    The report, entitled “Firearm Violence, 1993-2011,” and dated July 5, 2013, was made available online by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, an arm of the Justice Department. A BJS spokeswoman confirmed the report’s authenticity and said she could not explain why it was assigned a July 5 release date.

    The report does not address any implications it might have for the gun control debate. The findings are consistent with those of other recent studies. Surfacing less than a month after the Senate failed to pass President Obama’s modest gun control initiative, however, the data could dilute the sense of urgency surrounding Democratic attempts to revive the curbs.
So much for Dart's contention of a "Wild West" coming to America.

So much for liberals insistence that school shootings are driving the highest murder rate in the civilized world (it isn't - the US doesn't even break the top ten in homicide rate).

So much for Obama's claim that the United States "gun culture" is driving the narco-wars in Mexico while glossing over the fact that his Justice Department shipped 3,000 guns over the border without any means of tracking or busting anyone involved in the operation.

Of course, Chicago 2012 seemed to buck all of these trends. And Chicago had exactly how many plain old legal concealed-carry citizens then? Zero.

Whoaaa-Hoooaaahh Nellieee!

DAMN! A perfectly good crisis gone to waste.

Cue the music please...

*Your Sad Ass Missed Bucket #6! No Grand Prize For YOU!*

So... The fear-mongering yellow-pinky, gun-snatching libs are standing on the line wet-eyed and with lips quivering as they watch the ball roll away?

Here's an original thought... Leave legit people alone and legislate these murdering, gangbanging mutts to a standstill.

>Crickets<

*Mr. Ned chuckles then looks around and takes a hearty pull from his hip flask as Bozo, Sandy and Oliver O. Oliver point, laugh and talk shit.*

The gun snatchers in Illinois have GOT to be annoyed!

Oh well... They'll surely invent some NEW bullshit to flash the "Magic Arrows" on...

Oh glorious day on 09 June!

Heh... "God made Man, but Sam Colt made Men equal."

Maybe good and decent people can take their city back?

Maybe Rahm made a phone call. This release date comes almost 1 month after the deadline for Il to come up with some type of carry conceal legislation.

I'm sure calls were made to the local media to front page ANY story involving shootings.

Illinois elected representatives and Chicago elected officials will still lie and cheat until they get their way. They never deal in facts and they never will unless its dealing with their own corruption charges in federal court. What expects us to think otherwise? Do we really think that the politicians will read this report and have an epiphany? They are not in denial. They just want a brain dead constituency that is spoon fed their crap and says that it tastes good. They want unarmed zombies to vote for them while they let the armed gangs create terror and keep people from leaving their neighborhood. They want them only to watch the sanitized news on TV. The politicians don't want them to know it could be better.

Just a Citizen says: I don't have a fancy college degree or ride the el in a white lab coat (hoping everyone thinks I'm a Dr.) or come from NYC and think the rest of the country is a bunch of idiots... but even I know that if only the criminals are armed, crime is going to be higher. My questions are as follows: How did they get a degree when they cannot do simple math? Why are the so terrified of us being armed? Why are they (as Michael Savage says) forcing us into a revolution so they can say "See, we told you so" and turn this country into a 100% Marxist/Socialist regime? Why are the politicians/aldercreatures carrying guns and not thrown in jail like any other normal Joe would? I don't expect answers. Just tossing some sarcasm out there since I am infuriated that these arrogant, over-educated and no experience in the real world asshats make rules and yet, don't follow them. Get Me The Eff Outta Here!

Statistics generally don't matter to proponents of more gun "control." Long-time observers of that so-called "debate" will tell you emotion, rather than fact, is what's primarily used to advance their agenda, chipping away at the 2nd Amendment bit by bit until all Main Street is allowed to own are muskets.

This tool is going to make a TV show about Chicago and stroke off RAM.



In a statement, Redford praised Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel: “The vibrant culture and opportunities inherent in this 21st century, world-class city run alongside profound daily challenges. Much of it falls on the shoulders of its tough, visionary mayor, his team and people doing heroic work in neighborhoods throughout the city. Chicago has always had a rhythm all its own. It’s a city that wears its heart on its sleeve and I am honored to be a part of telling this story.”

Why the decline in "gun crime" (I hate that phrase) since 1993?

1. The crack epidemic wearing itself out

2. Longer prison bids, man-min and truth-in-bid laws enacted largely because of #1

3. The spread of CCW

SCC, a question for you and the FOP. Due to the rash of dowtown wildings, Tact teams are having their weekend RDOs cancelled. The Area Central Deputy claims that normal VRI guys aren't cutting it, and the Tact guys will "lock em up" He also states that he's "throwing the Tact teams a bone with this" Well we all understand RDO's cancelled for manpower needs, and also specifically for the "specially trained" members. However this falls under neither, and shouldn't it be opened up to ALL THE MEMBERSHIP? Haven't seen this on an official police document, but it arrves weekly via EMAIL as to which teams have been cancelled. We all understand Tact teams are management and the department can do as they wish with them, but this is some pompous fool believing that regular old beat coppers can't handle the job of coralling the savages in precious downtown. Shouldn't we all be offered this same piece of the pie? If tact has VRI scheduled for these days, they cannot work it and HAVE to work the "Michigan Ave. Detail". The deputy's office will call VRI and have them excused. This is not rocket science, needs no specialty training, and therefore should be offered to all of us! Would just like your opinion and that of the FOP.

The problem is, and forever will be, that goofs like Dart, Preckwinkle. Tiny Dancer, Shortshanks, et al will never hear the message. Like bratty, whiny four year olds in the midst of a temper tantrum, they plug their ears, shake their heads "No", all the while crying and screaming out loud, "No! No! No!

Off topic.
Couple nights ago in 4, coppers pull over a hot bike. Cuff dude behind his back and start running his name. Van pulls up dude runs off and hops in the lap of the driver with one copper chasing. Copper tries to yank him out and gets stuck in the doorway. Van takes off, copper can't get his arm out so he jumps in so he doesn't get dragged. Van speeds up and copper starts to take out his pistol when both dudes start trying to push him out the door. He puts his pistol away grabs the steering wheel and crashes the van on purpose at about 45 mph. Drags both asswipes out and ends the whole thing. Crazy ass shit boys and girls. Keep on eye on your prisoners cause even cuffed these animals will try to get away. Can't make this shit up. It's a jungle out there.

Good for the judge, but shame on you for making the UUW arrest in the first place, assuming that the offender was a decent, hardworking tax paying citizen. If, on the other hand, he was a thug with a long CQH, then disregard.

Today's Sneed column really takes the cake. She couldn't be any more in the tank for this administration. She is a cheerleader.

Sneed states in her column that the Superintendent was getting rid of dead wood from the Daley years when he pushed out The three Chiefs and assorted Commanders that just left. Like the Superintendent had a choice in the matter! These hard working, intelligent Chiefs QUIT.

They could no longer take the crap this arrogant, narcissist dishes out. These were people that loved the Department, and put in long hours to make it a better place. They couldn't stand seeing their efforts wasted.

For this unstable goof to spin it any other way is outrageous. For Sneed to spread this crap is even worse.

The Mayor cannot let him go. It would be proof positive that he made a huge mistake. He is bad news and we are stuck with him because the Mayor has a future election to win and he can't look weak, or worse, inept.

If three corporate chiefs quit a company, the stock of that company would tank. This City is in trouble. This is bad leadership.

Illinois: Amendment to Ban Standard Capacity Magazines to be Considered

Today, an anti-gun amendment was offered to Senate Bill 1002, turning this bill into another vehicle for gun control. Sponsored by state Senator Antonio Munoz (D-1), this amendment seeks to ban the possession, purchase, manufacture, sale or delivery of all magazines in Illinois that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition or that can be readily converted to do this. Further, Illinois residents would have ninety days to surrender or dispose of any of these magazines they already possess. In a state that is under court order to enact concealed carry reform laws for the self-defense of its citizens, this restriction on standard capacity magazines is a step in the wrong direction.
By limiting the capacity of rounds in a magazine, state legislators are directly targeting law-abiding gun owners since these magazines are standard for many commonly owned firearms used for self-defense. Violent criminals are not going to obey a magazine capacity restriction any more than they comply with gun bans or other forms of gun control. This amendment provides no solution to current crime problems in Illinois and only seeks to further disarm and punish law-abiding citizens.
It is important that you contact your state senator TODAY and respectfully urge him or her to uphold Illinoisans' right to self-defense by opposing Amendment 1 to Senate Bill 1002.

since their voter base consists mostly of actual felons, this is their idea of 'evening the playing field'.
