Here is a letter I wrote to a Chicago Newspaper

I read with interest the comments of your mayor regarding the Supreme Court decision concerning firearms. I live here in Wyoming where just about every person has a firearm in their home, in their vehicle and on their person. Yet we do not have shootouts on city streets, we are not shooting each other over minor disagreements, we are not shooting police officers. We have lots of firearms, but zero firearm related problems. I would suggest to your mayor that Chicago does not have a "gun" problem, but a "crime" problem that needs to be addressed. I would also challenge the mayor and your editiorial board to do some HONEST research and investigate other cities that have allowed handgun ownership and concealed carry..you will see that more guns, does not equal more crime, in fact in EVERY city and state where concealed carry has been allowed, crime rates have taken a dive! Please, just take an objective look at the facts and do not let emotion and rhetoric rule your decision making processes!

    Excellent letter that has zero chance of being taken seriously in The Peoples Republic of Chicago. Der Furher Mayor Daley would never allow it. Let us know if you get a reply.

    I think it would be very well read if it ever makes it to print. Daley has probably abolished the 1st Amendment as well.
