I thought Chicago has some of the toughest gun control laws in the country? What exactly are you proposing?

---

That we implement a licensing process for gun ownership and registration similar to driving and registering your car, where you have to take a written test and a test to show that you understand gun safety (similar to the driving test you take with a police officer), renew your license on a regular basis and register the firearm. Since the gun lobby so often compares guns and cars, they should have no objection.

Wouldn't that be racist? All that licensing and such . . .

---

Yeah won't it hurt minorities looking for guns Jinx?

Why doesn't this logic apply to voting?

Even crazy people can pass a firearms safety class. Crazy will always be crazy. How about those knife attacks in England?

- Chicago has a licensing and testing process for any type of firearm.
- Chicago requires a waiting period when buying any type of firearm
- Chicago has banned assault weapons

Chicago has one of the highest rates of gun violence in the US.

Laws by themselves won't help with gun control. What else would you propose?

Killing babies is a real national emergency. Far more unborn children are killed each year than people killed by guns.

Perhaps if we made all men and women get a license to have sex and take educational courses to know what can happen with unprotected sex and the responsibilities of both parties if an unplanned pregnancy occurs, we can save lives.

---

Five more shot to death today in yet another workplace mass shooting. No emergency though, because "wall"

Approximately 1,600 babies died yesterday due to abortions. That even makes Chicago look good.

The firearm this man had was illegal. How do we stop that from happening?

Easy to get illegal firearms in Illinois because they're near Indiana, which has lax gun laws.

The background check legislation being proposed by House Dems is a start.

And Texas is near Mexico which has much tougher gun laws than you are proposing but is overflowing with guns. What's your point?

This is a bald faced lie Obama started at his Town Hall.

You cannot legally buy a gun in Indiana unless you actually live in Indiana.

By the way, that's a federal law all states follow.

Also true for Indiana:
To buy a handgun in Indiana, you must:
Be 18 or older;
Present state ID (read that one more time)
Submit to an instant background check.
You are prohibited from owning a gun if you:
Have been convicted or a felony;
Have been convicted of domestic battery;
Are a drug abuser or under the influence of a drug;
Are an alcohol abuser or are intoxicated; or
Are mentally incompetent.

I'll offer the same deal I did on BF when Obama made the claim.

You and I drive up to Indiana and legally buy a gun using our legally issued id cards.

If we get them immediately, I'll pay for the trip and guns. If we don't, you pay for the trip and buy me a gun of my choosing when we get back to Dallas.

You better bring a lot of money. I'll be getting my bucket list AR15 when we get back to Texas. It's $1500.

No objection here. You just passed national reciprocity. No need to leave my gun in TX next time i visit my brother in California. I can go visit NY now too.

We need more gun laws. We gotta do something.

There are plenty of laws.

We need changed hearts.

A black man shot some people in Chicago. The only reason it's a story is because it happened at a place of business. I wish we would be more concerned about the dozens of shootings in Chicago every weekend. Maybe then my friend wouldn't have been shot in Chicago.

Won't be solved at the national level.

Hand guns are made for killin',
they ain't no good for nothin' else.
And if you like to drink your whiskey
you might even shoot yourself.
So why don't we dump 'em people
to the bottom of the sea
before some ol' fool come around here,
wanna shoot either you or me.

Just kidding. Dont have a stroke. Thought it was funny this song came up while I was reading thread.

Since it's Indiana with the lax gun laws, then the murder rate in Indiana should be higher than that in Chicago, right?
