    95% of them in the inner city, with handguns.

    Which law would you pass to stop that?

    There is no reason to, we started off with free speech in a Bill of Rights. Let's start with the simple one, freedom of speech, get free speech in every nation on earth, it shouldn't be hard, why don't you get that done first?

    It is not known that McConnel will not bring said legislation to a vote.

    For now he simply will not get the neurological hammer out and strike just below the petella to see if there's lower leg extension.

    Hell, they left the district without comprehensive immigration reform and border security, too.

    Maybe work on two things at once when they get back.

    Based on history - practically none. The new Chicago mayor stated yesterday that millions had been poured in to solve the problem with no result. The city of Chicago government should declare an emergency and have the police do a coordinated sweep of the gang controlled area confiscating illegal weapons, looking for gang members in the US illegally, and seizing drugs. They know exactly where these guys are.

    The problem is the cops round them up on a regular basis and the courts just let them loose, there are criminals in Chicago with multiple murder conviction's who are back on the streets simply because the courts will not hand down meaningful serious prison sentences.

    This is one of the reasons the feds are getting involved as it moves the matter into the federal courts where these guys get life sentences.

    So, you agree with Obama's gun violence rhetoric?

    Exactly. The Chicago Police Chief was just on TV saying the same thing. Also all that is needed to make bail in Chicago is $100. He recommended $10,000.

    Bill O’Reilly proposed that using a firearm in a crime should be a federal crime with mandatory 10 year sentence.

    So you are going to march to Washington with your gun and demand a reinstatement of 8chan?

    It's up to everyone to come up with solutions to this societal problem and a big contributor to that the break down of the nuclear family and especially boys without fathers which seems to be a leading indicator.

    Obviously that spark of humanity speech didn't sway you at all!

    Hungary of all places has implemented policies that incentivizes family unity by making it more financially advantageous to remain a family than to split up and live off government benefits.

    That’s the argument used by the party of identity politics. But who are dying in Chicago ??? It’s a complete mystery why minorities vote like lemmings for Democrats.

    I have, though since the Texas Constitution is like 3 reams of paper long perhaps you could quote the sections you're concerned of?

    That is not so. About being disingenuous.

    The idea was not to compare a thing only to point out that our president did not invent mass shootings so has no blame for the mass shootings.
