I don't see how anyone with even half a brain could choose to live in a city that refuses its law abiding citizens the right to defend themselves against armed thugs. Especially with gang violence bad enough that one cop (a veteran of our current overseas conflict) referred to it as "tribal warfare."
And any parent that lives in Chicago, sees the violence that has been disproportionately aimed at children and young teens, but doesn't move themselves and their children out of the war zone, isn't much of a parent.
I say: remove the politicians and cops, arm the law-abiding, and let the mess sort itself out.

And any parent that lets their kids roam unsupervised if living in that town should be setting aside funds for their burial.
ReplyDeleteMy munchkin is 3. I live in a land where if we ask for permission, we can carry the tools to defend ourselves against violence.
One of mine will be 4 in October, and the other will be 2 in December. They don't go out of the house without the supervision of at least one armed guard. And we live in a small suburb of a small town, one that isn't steeped in violence.
DeleteThere is no way I'd live anywhere that tried to infringe on my God-given right to defend myself.
