Wild in the streets

The latest from Chicago, the city that disarms its law-abiding citizens:

Eight people were killed in at least 44 others were shot across the city Friday night into early Monday, including a baby girl who suffered a graze wound to the neck when gunfire erupted at a Near West Side barbecue.

Very effective, that gun ban. The Supreme Court should be announcing its decision on the case any day now. The ruling will have nationwide implications, but Chicago Mayor Richard Daley says his city isn't worried about it.  There's always the change justices "will see the light of day," but if they don't, Chicago will be ready.

"Whatever the details of the court's ruling will be, we will always find new ways to keep guns off our streets," he said.

There are sooooo many examples of the fact that the only thing a gun ban bans is guns in the hands of law abiding citizens - bad guys don't pay attention the law. And to think that reducing the number of guns overall will keep them out of the hands of criminals is simply naive.

Gentlemen:
I could not agree more.

Kudos to you both.
