Unpossible!

Stretch sent me this story last week, and I've finally stopped scratching my head long enough to comment on it:

At Least 9 Shot Or Attacked In Chicago Since Wednesday Afternoon

CHICAGO (CBS) – The warmer weather has been a great relief to winter-weary Chicagoans, but it has also carried the byproduct of increased violence on the city’s streets.

Between 4 p.m. Wednesday and 1 a.m. Thursday, at least eight people were shot all around the city, and a ninth was beaten so severely that police initially thought he had been shot.

The decision in the McDonald case continues to claim lives!!!1111 If only the Chicago gun ban had been allowed to continue, no one could own handguns in Chi-town, and then no one would get shot. Right? I mean, that's what the anti-gun forces would have us believe every time there's a ruling that doesn't go their way.

• Blood in the streets!!!
• The Old West!!!
• People shooting each other over parking spaces!
  

Every time there's a ruling, decision, or new law that doesn't go their way (which, incidentally, happens to coincide with "less freedom"), the hysteria machine gets cranked up to 12 (they have long since gone past 11) and we are treated to the same tired clichés over and over. People that own guns - and want to carry them legally - are going to magically turn into homicidal maniacs at the slightest provocation in the anti's eyes. What they don't say, though, is why all of those people just a hair's breadth away from snapping need a slip of paper from the government before they snap...

Why, it's almost like the gun is secondary, and it's the person holding the gun that's responsible!

That is all.
