    Perhaps standing against our military would be tough but...... consider the political ramifications of trying to disarm an armed populace. That is where you lose my friend. Think of those that would defect from a military in the U.S. imposing such a task! We would be so much further ahead than Hong Kong! 2nd amendment all the way! It's not about hunting deer!!

    That’s why I said “possibly”, but in reality it’s probably not much longer than a sawed off SG.

    Ho Chi Minh advantage of people living on the land for generations. All the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't prevail against those people living on their land.

    They won't have to. If it comes down to a civil war a lot of, if not most, military and police will support the Constitution.

    it’s cute how you think they couldn’t. Happens all the time all over the world and throughout history. And every civilization thinks their military is invincible, until it is defeated. We couldn’t even win in Iraq and Vietnam, and you think the us military would defeat millions and millions of gun owners? Especially when many if not most would refuse to kill their own countrymen and probably join them instead? You are dreaming buddy.

    Dallas sure is. Completely run by liberals and shootings are skyrocketing just like the liberals who ruined Chicago. Good observation.

    Find political grandstanding to be disgusting.

    I certainly don’t find this as some kind of success

    The nation of Vietnam managed to do it. As has every nation in the middle east the united states is currently at war with.

    When private citizens cannot legally possess a firearm within a given area, it indeed qualifies as being such.

    You've been numbed down to the point that you think it's a joy that only 1 maybe 2 got killed, instead of mourn that people got killed.

    Seriously twisted.

    And you have been brainwashed into thinking laws will prevent crime.

    So what. You rant around as if it's still imposed as in 2010 and not working.
    There also never was some border around Chicago in some attempt to keep guns out.
    It's all meaningless and irrelevant.

    Your entire but Illinois thing is meaningless and irrelevant

    You're nitpicking. He could just have bought a AK from some neighbor legally.

    We both know that with gun violence, we always mean violence that causes innocent victims.
    And the US has terrible statistics compared to other western countries.

    I like how all the people who were about to be offended at the name "White Settlement" have the sense to shut their mouths.

    Good job.

    Then ultimately there is no point in any state or city attempting to implement its own firearm-related restrictions, as they are meaningless if the surrounding territories refuse to follow suit. Therefore the states are doing nothing but wasting their time with futile gestures that amount to nothing of substance.

    It was to demonstrate that firearms are not being trafficked into the state of Illinois to any significant degree.

    Except when the gun leads to the seller by looking at the serial number.

    How about the standards of a random western European nation? They got their gun violence solved much better.

    lol....

    Millions of Americans do not physically operate their weapons for hours and hours every day as they do with their cars. Your claim is pathetic. Your comparison is a red herring.

    The legal access of weapons to potential killers in the US is a total joke to what's socially accepted.

    Why do you hate the fact this criminal was stopped by a good guy with a gun before he could kill more people than he did?

    And yet he did not. Therefore, why does the action that was not taken, matter more than the action that actually was taken? Explain such.

    Then specify such in precise terms, rather than vague generalities.

    Such is too bad. The united states is a violent nation. Get over it.

    Then why do you use the bodies of those who were killed in the commission of a crime in your body counts when arguing the sheer number of those who were killed by guns?

    The only ones who relegate the term "gun violence" to your definition are those who don't understand the nature of violence.

    It just so happens to be working far better in other western countries.
