    So the innocent victims that get killed by drug dealers don't count? Those shootings happen every day. You must be a traditional Democrat eh?

    Certainly doesn't look like a white Hispanic, looks more like a good old Texan boy:

    Hardly, you are pushing an agenda of infringement using statistically insignificant events when compared to the whole. Its purely a push to exploit the emotion of the moment and ignores the greater issue. Quite frankly its disgusting and dishonest...

    Some places have tried gun buybacks. Many people collect guns and they don't flip out and hurt others with guns.

    Banning new sales will reduce these assault weapon type mass shootings. They need UBC to track private sales, gun registration and some sensible red flag laws.
    What the hell do I have to do with gun violence in Chicago? I've never been to Chicago. I live in the country looking at horses out my back window and I don't need a gun to protect myself, we are civilized here. Unless someone brings in a gun, no one is getting shot on my property. I don't want guns on my property, I'm old and have 6 children/11 grandchildren. No guns = no getting shot.

    Heavy usually gets it first. This boy doesn't look too bright. Law abiding citizens don't get pulled over for no reason. The cops knew this guy was trouble. Why they didn't do more when they could have is a question that needs to be asked.

    You don't know what he identifies as. He could be Jamaican for all we know. I'll just wait for a reputable source and more information...

    Just the liberal town busy body? Keep your nose out of other peoples business and no one will ever bother you. Telling people how you demand things are done doesn't work either. Authoritarians can't see what others do.

    Most of us live our lives and never interact with a criminal element, some do. It isn't always our choice but I understand your sentiment and wish you well.

    We already have serious BG checks and there is no gun show loophole.

    Red flag laws are seriously dangerous to all of our rights and especially those guaranteed by the 2nd. It's a bridge too far, a dangerous precedent.

    Do you concern yourself with foreign countries other than the US? Rank ordering the most dangerous places in the world (see below) the US comes in at #36. What is the basis for your obsession with the US?

    That did enter may thoughts as well. I give credit to first responders who do their job right. I don't think this was handled well.

    He had a misdemeanor trespass on his record, so we all know that even more unconstitutional shadow registries wouldn't have stopped this. In fact nothing the gun grabbers want aside from full confiscation, would have done anything in this case...

    What the F are you talking about. Chicago is run by Dims and has been for decades. What do you think prevents these Chicago Dims from having their police look for guns on the street?

    Seth was obviously ticked at someone since he was packing a loaded gun. I'm sure that he intended to kill one or more specific people. The cops got in the way now 8 people are dead and more than 20 are wounded. The person or persons Seth had intended to kill are uninjured.

    The incident shows that we can be killed or wounded at any time when we are out and about. Therefore, we should make sure that our wills are up to date and we write our obituaries so that we can seem like we were a great person. Our survivors can fill in the date we bite the dust.

    According to the historical record, Jews have been leading the gun control movement since WWII. Are they trying to make America safer or are they trying to eliminate our constitutional rights?

    Great so we just go on killing women and children to protect your rights to own a gun. A small price to pay I am sure you believe.

    I never said that they do not have a loaded weapon these guys were emulating a position of having a gun hammer cocked back while carrying to make it faster to shoot someone in a case of necessity. I said it was foolish to do as such and told them why....
