    That was completely unhinged.

    All I said is that the relatively recent gun ban that the article is talking about did absolutely nothing to prevent the incidence of gun violence in your building. From there you made up a strawman of what you think, through pure prejudice, of what my political positions are and went on a wild rant about them, including on completely unrelated subjects.

    If you want a more detailed explanation of my position on the subject, all you have to do is scroll up to my other post where I explained it in full detail. From that you will see that: 1: I never portrayed gun ownership as a right 2: I actually praise the effective gun control measures that were already in place. 3: I criticize the Conservative’s approach to the problem as well.

    I am an advocate for pragmatic measures against violence in the cities without the political and ideological nonsense that has been surrounding it for decades. I am sick of politicians continuing to use the same cheap distractions from the problem while it keeps getting worse. We have a cost of living and poverty problem in our cities and social environments in which kids don’t have much future to look to for themselves. This is what promotes crime and gang violence and therefore fuels a demand for illegal guns that end up in the wrong hands.

      Lol! i know i bark louder than the taco bell chihuawa when i see virtue signalling for the right .

      On the other hand, i personally see very little open gang violence from our youth here in the Chi. the most open threats come exactly from the middle aged crisis far right around this place. mostly a generation or so younger than me. I’m senior enough to know i keep my wheelchair close by so i can jump in it at the first indication there might be a benefits inspector around. and I have bottle kids under my command to carry out my acts of “civil disobedience” . i dont see as far and cant aim as well.

      Hows that for unhinged ?

        Very unhinged.

        Clearly you’re more interested in fighting a strawman than the main point. You can do that on your own.
