8 Year Old Gunned Down while Jumping Rope

That is terrible..

An 8-year-old girl who was jumping rope Tuesday night with her friends outside in Chicago's far South Side was killed by two gunmen who rode up on bicycles and opened fire.

The tragedy is just the latest in a recent spate of high-profile shootings to hit the city, many of them involving young victims.

The city is also in the midst of a violent summer on the heels of a Supreme Court decision that struck down its 28-year-old ban on handguns.

Mayor Richard Daley quickly pushed through a new ordinance that only allowed residents to have one working gun at a time in their homes, and prohibits them from stepping outside with a gun, even onto their porches or in their garages. Before that, Chicago had the strictest gun law in the U.S. since 1982.

Animals.

The problem isn't guns, it's the people. The low class garbage that infests America's cities needs to be eradicated. There's really no reason not to, these creatures just leech off the rest of society and contribute nothing but violence and pain. There needs to be a genocide. Everyone knows this.

Hey...let's play the ever popular "Guess the Race" game.

Wow, can't they just ban guns already? If they banned guns bad people would choose to follow that law even though they don't follow any other law and we'd all be so much safer.

I love how they stuck that bullshit about their handgun ban being unconstitutional in there and how that is somehow the recent ruling is somehow the cause of the violence. Maybe if the criminals knew good people had weapons they wouldn't pull this shit.

Oh, and if handguns are banned, how did the shooters get them? Yes, i'm making an ass-umption about the kind of gun used. You going to be riding your bike with a rifle or shotgun?

But have no fear! Chicago says you can't even step onto your porch to defend your 8 year old jumping rope against armed criminals.

Fucking ridiculous.

When are we going to realize that making something illegal does nothing to keep it out of the hands of criminals?

It's the same way with drugs.

At least with guns, if every upstanding citizen had one, this shit wouldn't happen nearly as much. Real life is a much better enforcement tool than any law....

Can't be because Chicago has a city wall....

 

[dmcowen674]

Once enough Chicagoans arm up crime will go down.

The thugs have had 30 years of free reign knowing the citizenry is unarmed so give it time.
