Retired Army 2-star, Russel Honore (remember him in New Orleans? "Put those GD rifles down!") suggests the National Guard might be a solution to Chicago's gun violence. 'Course they would be armed with "assault" weapons.

Are you from Chicago or have you lived there? Just trying to understand the obsession.

That's the thing sometimes with crazy obsessions. Sometimes they just don't make sense when you really try to think about them.

Yes. I wouldn't consider it an obsession, though. At least not on the same level with yours as regards my posts. It's not like the whole country isn't talking about the violence in Chicago. Violence which drew both POTUS and Mrs. POTUS in recent days.

I looked it up and there appear to be a bunch of US cities with higher gun homicide rates. What's so special about Chicago?


Beside my Blackhawks, of course! :D

I believe I've explained it over the course of many posts. No need pretending you're too dumb to understand, we already know that.

Yeah, I've really been stalking you! :rolleyes:


What's the deal? What's special about Chicago?

I think it's the fact that Chi-town's gun laws plus the homicide rate = major flaws in the "no guns" argument.

Well then, you post about them and I'll post about Chicago. How's that?

Don't forget Second City, The Museum of Science and Industry, Italian Beef sandwiches, Kiddieland (gone but not forgotten) and Chicago style dogs, just to name a few.

I guess I was the last person on this board to get his point?

Shhhh. This subtle observation could upset their passive/aggressive posing. Even though SCOTUS overturned the most restrictive parts of Chicago's gun laws, it still has the toughest ordinances in the country.

As long as you don't bring his doesn't-care-when-someone-dies-from-gun-violence-unless-he-can-score-political-points-from-it-ness into the discussion. :p

I guess I did know why you keep bringing it up.


PS - The Yotes will be in Quebec next season. Better get Center Ice! ;)

Hmmmm.... I thought it was because Obama was living in Chicago before he moved to that fixer upper in DC.....

His Imperial Majesty, Barack I is not involved in this, at least from my perspective. You really ought to try reading my posts if you're going to comment on them. And have an adult handy to explain the big words.

Gentlemen, I believe I have struck a nerve with Old Pio here. Who wants to be my adult to explain his big words for me?? ;)

Can you explain "Bunky?"

Thanks for the exegesis of the arguments I'm not permitted to advance. Especially one I've never heard anyone, ever, articulate. POTUS is merely the highest ranking member of the baying mob wanting to eliminate a made up category of weapons that are virtually never used in gun crimes.
