In case anyone is wondering, the state of Illinois has what can be politely deemed the strictest gun laws in the country. Illinois has ZERO reciprocity with other states regarding guns of any kind. If you\u2019re coming from out of state to hunt deer or porcupines or whatever, you do need a hunting license, but that supports the state\u2019s parks and recreation programs, including game hunting. However, you can’t have the guns riding shotgun in the rack in the pickup truck cab. And considering the theft rate in some areas, I wouldn’t do that, anyway.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t seem to matter that there is plenty of anti-gun stuff already in place. There is always some whining soul waiting in the shadows and corners to holler \u2018more laws!!\u2019<\/em> as loudly as possible, because \u2013 well, it gets attention for them in the media and lets them strut in front of the cameras a little bit.<\/p>\n

What annoys me more than anything else is that mindless and ignorant repeating meme that guns used in crimes are somehow bought legally. Nor does it matter that anyone, including me, can wave reports from the Tribune and other newspapers in the faces of these timid souls that their perception of guns associated with crime is 180-out wrong, unrealistic, and just plain incorrect.<\/p>\n

They find ignorance and corpse dancing to be a lot more attractive than the truth.<\/p>\n

There has been a bill SB1657 in the state legislature since February 2017 that requires gun dealers to have licenses, undergo background checks, etc. \u2013 you know the drill \u2013 in order to sell guns in the first place. \u00a0http:\/\/www.ilga.gov\/legislation\/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=1657&GAID=14&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=104404&SessionID=91<\/a><\/p>\n

The howling and fearful ignore the fact that the \u201ctrace\u201d language only gets an original sale point for a gun used in a crime. They purposely fail to recognize that if a gun is stolen and used in a crime, it is not the fault of the dealer or the person who bought it.<\/em><\/p>\n

It would be nice if these tearful, fearful sobsters took a few minutes out of their precious time with online social media and paid attention to these things, but that would mean they\u2019d have to acknowledge their mistakes and be in touch with reality. Giving up the addiction to electronic media would be quite painful for them.<\/p>\n

As this article from the Chicago Tribune, posted back in May this year, indicates, we already have everything in place addressed by SB1657. There is nothing new in it.<\/em> Zero. Zip. Nada.<\/p>\n

And yet, in this morning\u2019s paper is a letter to the editor from the pastor of one of the Baptist Churches around here that passing this bill will stop corrupt gun dealers. No, do not send him any \u201chate\u201d mail. I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll get enough in-your-face backtalk from people who know better.<\/p>\n

Carjacking is rising in Chicago proper and is creeping out to the suburbs. The carjackers all have guns. They may not be trained in how to use them \u2013 probably throw the bullets at you \u2013 but the probability of any of them buying them legally is so far below ZERO that the Antarctic continent is warmer in the winter.<\/p>\n

As was indicated in an article I posted a few weeks ago, guns are frequently shipped from factories in freight cars that are parked overnight in railyards on Chicago\u2019s south side. Those box cars are broken into all the time. One 2013 break-in resulted in 115 Rugers being stolen. Why so few? It was all the thieves could carry.<\/p>\n

I am sick of this ignorance and bullshit.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how to shut it down when the facts fly in the face of the people who insist on jumping up and down in front of TV cameras about it. It is far past time that the facts start to overwhelm the hysterics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
