"...Jackson and Pfleger continued to criticize gun laws as lax and gun manufacturers and sellers, whom they blame for violence in Chicago.
"We want sensible gun laws," Jackson said. "You don't hunt with M-16s. You blow holes in tanks with those weapons. They were built just to kill people."
In recent months, Jackson and Pfleger, who have called for a statewide ban on assault weapons, have been holding rallies and demonstrations to highlight the toll gun violence has taken on Chicago youths. Assault weapons are banned in Chicago, but the ministers say the law is useless because people buy them at shops, like Chuck's, in the inner-ring suburbs, then bring them into the city. "They don't manufacture guns in the ghetto," Jackson said. "They make the guns, they grow the drugs. ... We go to jail and get killed from them."
Dayum. Spent some time in the service I did, and never even saw one of them tank-hole-blowing M-16's, and now I'm pissed.
Remember the good old days when a lawless area was considered lawless because of the scumbags who lived there, and not because of the tools available to cause mayhem? It's downright hilarious that the Reverends don't even know how racist and bigoted and particularly stupid they sound by offering that THEIR ghetto folks can't be trusted with the same firearms that the rest of the country owns and carries every single day without a hitch.
Maybe we should give serious thought to doing away with the PEOPLE who KILL other PEOPLE, rather than herding them into enclaves where they are dissuaded from even pretending to be civilized human beings. I carry a gun, most of my close friends do too, and what's the difference between us and "them"? Why aren't these scamming con artists traipsing around this neck of the woods warning ME that guns are evil and blowing holes in tanks even as we speak.
Mike and Jesse don't set foot ANYWHERE there are law abiding people exercising their Constitution rights, so whats up with that?
Is it because Chicagoans are that inferior they need special protection....
From one another?
Because they are all criminals who can't control themselves like you and I do every day?
I see.
Could have fooled me. I've always believed that as a whole blacks were just as smart and honorable and law abiding as white people. Bad apples in both barrels.
But the Reverends say no.
Blacks are more dangerous, more likely to commit murder, less capable of following the law.
