Chicago barely makes the top 30, just sayin' But thanks for trying. If we look globally though, there are MUCH lower rates in places with very restrictive gun laws, and in some that are not restrictive, so there's more to it. It's not just "guns or not guns". I think Drudge is on the right track with "culture" but how do we fix that? |

I'd carry of course. I'm not at all anti 2nd. No idea where you got that idea. I've been a stanch supporter here for 10 years - on dozens of threads on the old site. btw, my argument for open carry would be a- if someone might shoot at me, I want the option to shoot back - pro- liberty and self-defense b- guns in the open let everyone, including law enforcement, know who has them vs concealed, where you don't know who has what, or if it's legally owned or not - pro- ease of uniform enforcement Those have merit, but crime doesn't seem to correlate either way. London still has a much lower homicide rate than the US. So while I'm with you on principle, I don't think it would solve the problem in Chicago. Edited by nNeo, Jun 7 2016, 06:12 PM.

Ok I see your stance now. But why not let each person decide what they feel is right for them in stead of telling them how they can or can not protect themselves? London - "Violent" Crime rate |

My position hasn't changed. You've been tilting at windmills. I am not opposed to open carry. I do not think open carry would significantly reduce the homicide rate in gang ridden areas of Chicago. Those are not contradictory. |

Somewhere far. The authority is in the preamble where the Constitution states it's purposes is to promote the general welfare. The removal of progressive, democratic constituencies would be the greatest promotion of the general welfare since the transcontinental railroad. |

"I do not think open carry would significantly reduce the homicide rate in gang ridden areas of Chicago." Well you're wrong. Do you think the non-gang members of Chicago should be allowed to carry a weapon for protection? |

That's a conversation the races need to have among themselves. I have my two cents but then again, I am sure the racist label will get slapped on me after the first sentence. |

Yes. I said exactly that above. However that does not deter gang members from shooting at each other, and the police. Edited by nNeo, Jun 7 2016, 08:19 PM.

Unlike you who kept on asking questions after questions without offering anything? That conversation needs to happen between Blacks. Black celebrities, especially need to step up and initiate the talk. There are conservative Blacks speaking out on Youtube but that isn't enough. |

I'm here to learn ![]() These Chicago threads pop up a lot. I figured since you started the topic, you'd have an opinion about what should be done. I was curious what it was. Thanks for sharing. |
