Friday Afternoon Diversion


That shooting in Lincoln Park happened in broad daylight, not in the evening...and if a shooting is going to happen in Lincoln Park, I never would have guessed that it would happen right in front of those apartments.
Just think... if Chicago would just allow people to LEGALLY carry handguns, then these criminals wouldn't go around shooting people with their ILLEGAL handguns, because they'd be too afraid that their potential victims would have concealed LEGAL handguns to shoot them back after being shot!
It's the reason why crime rates are so low in European countries, because criminals fear people with handguns!!!
Guns: the cause of, and solution to, Chicago's gun violence problems.
The Supreme Court and the Constitution agree!
Let's not forget the shooting in good old Uptown yesterday. Or are shootings there old news?
