We need more gun control when...

Well whenever anything happens involving a criminal. In Chicago, there was a big workplace shooting. So practically everyone in the political arena and the media (same folks just different jobs) are doing the same old "we need more gun control" Of course the disarmed victims and their family chime in and even one of the local ministers now says Christians should be getting rid of their guns as owning a gun is tantamount to lack of faith in God. (Not sure where he gets that from as the Bible doesn't teach pacifism;in God we trust; it's those people who come into our homes and businesses brandishing weapons that just don't seem to be trustworthy.
Anyway this case is kinda of interesting. Disgruntled ex-employee comes in and shoots his former coworkers before being shot by the police. He had threatened them before, employer did nothing. He had a long criminal record with firearms, the authorities never sent him to jail. He could not legally buy a firearm. The gun was bought years ago and legally registered in Chicago. It was then sold to a Chicago policeman who then sold it to another Chicago policeman. Both are deceased and there was no paper trail, so we don't know how the perp got it. Obviously he didn't get it from the suburban gun shops that Mayor Dailey blames for this terrible crime. And of course all the victims are disarmed in strict observance of gun control which worked all too predictably.
So that's why we need more gun control. [:(]

And the media goes...wahhhhhhhhhhhh.
"He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."

When guns were invented everything changed. For the first time in the history of the world a frail woman had a chance to sucessfully defend herself and home. My dream is that one of the anti-gun nuts will need a gun for defense and be unable to have one because of their own actions.

Those who would offer any interpretation that would relegate Amendment II to "relic" status of a bygone era are blatantly stating that the remainder of the Bill of Rights isn't worth a damn, either.
