How come you haven't ever ONE SINGLE time ever here on this forum in your life, mentioned the 500 or so Black KIDS killed in Chicago by illegal guns that YOU Personally have completely ignored for YOUR entire LIFETIME Here and everywhere?  

Want to talk about that and those KIDS, who are killed in a city that has some of the strictest GUN LAWS in the nation?

Why is it that if YOUR solution is to get rid of guns and to make MORE gun laws, that in the city that has the strictest Gun laws, that the murder rate for KIDS is the highest in the nation?

Why?  

Give me a reasoned answer.  

I'm waiting.  
It's because guns aren't illegal in Chicago and because they're flowing in from the nearby states that have lax gun laws:
"Illinois’ proximity to other states with less restrictive gun laws contributes to gun violence that occurs in Chicago, experts say. The majority of guns recovered in Chicago that are used or possessed illegally are traced back to other states with less gun regulation, such as Indiana, according to a 2017 report published by Chicago city government. The report found that the trends have been consistent over the past decade, the AP reported in 2018."

You stated this above Einstein:  "Its because guns are flowing in from nearby states that have lax gun laws".  

Hmm.... that statement sounds juuuuuuust a bit familiar don't you think?  

It goes something like this "when you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns".  

Do us all a favor, form a backwards "Letter L" with your hand and place in front of your forehead and then go look in a mirror.  

Perhaps then you'll get it but really.... I doubt it.  smile

I think you guys are living in dreamland if you don't think Trump is the leading GOP candidate, by far.

Did you look at the Gallup poll I posted yesterday from November 2007?  HRC was crushing that race.  Any thoughts?  That 2007 poll is very relevant to the state of the R race in 2023.

That was then, not now. I doubt it has anything to do with Trump's lead at this point. His base is too fanatical to move the needle in the direction of another candidate. Any probes/indictment notwithstanding, we are way passed the point of fortifying Trump's support in the minds of Trump voters other than potentially spurring some of them onto violent acts of some sort...

Lauren Boebert laughed at during House DC crime hearing

Posted By Rod Kaufman

“Whenever Lauren Boebert opens her mouth it should count as public urination and be a criminal offense,” Kimmel joked. “I don’t know what she’s getting at, but it’s an interesting line of question from someone whose husband did jail time for exposing himself to a teenager at a bowling alley.”
“But with our children being shot at their schools, I have to say I thank God every day that we have people like Lauren Boebert representing the good people of Colorado,” the host added, before playing another clip of her denouncing “Tic Tacs.”

Jacob Chansley aka the Jan 6th Shaman was released from Prison early.

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"The right-wing activist will now live in a halfway house in Arizona, which is where he was arrested in January 2021 for his part in the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol."
"The fervent conspiracy theorist was sentenced to 41 months behind bars, but freed 14 months early on Wednesday, reports The Hill. “After serving 11 months in solitary prior to his sentence being imposed, and only 16 months of his sentence thereafter,..."
"Chansley’s lawyer told a federal court in 2021 his client “felt like he was betrayed” by Trump and was willing to testify in the 45th president’s second impeachment trial."
