kallend 2,027 #176 May 29, 2013 DaVinciQuoteMay 1, 2013 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- The Chicago Police Department released figures indicating a 42 percent decline in the number of murders in the city in the first four months of 2013 compared to the same period last year Still higher than pretty much every other city in the US... Even those with 'looser' gun laws. Comparing on the RATE (per capita): Like New Orleans? Nope, lower than that. Like Atlanta? Nope, lower than that. Like Detroit? Nope, lower than that. Like Memphis? Nope, lower than that. Are you TRYING to look foolish?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaVinci 0 #177 May 29, 2013 QuoteAre you TRYING to look foolish? Care to not act like a child with the lame insults? Chicago saw homicides jump in 2012.... So the SAME city you claim has great gun laws has a RISE in gun murders. And I see you skipped answering 1-4.... Here they are again: 1. Why are men more likely than women to engage in violence? 2. Why are black men 8 times more likely to be killed by firearms than white men? 3. Why do blacks make up 55% of the victims when blacks only account for 12.8% of the population? 4. Why has gun crime gone DOWN when there are more guns in circulation and the AWB was allowed to sunset in 2004? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the SAME city you claim has great gun laws has a RISE in gun murders. And down MORE in 2013 to date. And lots of cities with far laxer gun laws have higher gun murder rates than Chicago. List provided previously. Your argument falls on its face.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 0 #179 May 29, 2013 DaVinciQuoteIncorrect. A permit was issued This was a secondary parade, called a "second line" parade. Not the official parade. It was not officially sanctioned by the city. This would be no different than a group of folks outside a football game playing football. They are not the Patriots nor the Giants. Yes, they are playing football, but the NFL didn't sponsor them. You're showing your ignorance of New Orleans culture and second line history. This second line parade did require a permit and did have one. As stated, carrying at or near this event was illegal, CHL or no. QuoteMUCH more important to focus on: Akein Scott and Shawn Scotts history of drug offenses (making them not allowed to own a firearm since 1968). And Akein Scott ALREADY had another weapons charge before this... Oh I agree, but look at how this thread started. It's important to refute emotional nonsense with cold hard facts. Also, I don't know their specific criminal history. Drugs charges, or even convictions, don't necessarily remove firearms rights. It would have to be a felony conviction, judicial ruling of incompetence, or involuntary commitment to a mental health facility.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
