Maybe never it seems. I mean take their governor J. B. Pritzker for example. A mass shooting happens in his state, not to mention weekly blood baths between gang members every weekend in Chicago, and what does he do. Blames the NRA, and guns. Talk about stuck on Stoopit! So, when the NRA, and others, point out that Chicago Illinois, with their ultra draconian gun restrictions is a perfect example of the failure of gun control laws, what does Pritzker the genius do? He grabs his shovel, jumps into the Pit of Eternal Leftist Stupidity, and goes to digging!
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker told the National Rifle Association to leave his state the “hell alone” in response to the group tweeting about mass shootings occurring in gun free zones
“And 100% of mass public shootings happen with guns,” the Illinois Democrat tweeted Tuesday night in response to data showing that “94% of mass public shootings occurred in gun-free zones.”
OK, Governor, and 100% of stabbings happen with knives. Yet Pritzker keeps blaming the tool, not the bad people misusing it. Clearly stating something so damn obvious Ray Charles can see it is not solving anything.
“Our Founders carried muskets, not assault weapons,” Pritzker said on Monday afternoon. “And I don’t think a single one of them would have said that you have a constitutional right to an assault weapon with a high capacity magazine, or that that is more important than the right of the people who attended this parade today to live.”
I doubt that, Pritzker likely has not spent much time studying the Founders, or firearms. The muskets in the colonies WERE weapons of war at the time Governor. And the Founders were explicitly clear that they wanted the people to be armed. Yet, Governor Pritzker is blaming “assault weapons” But, apparently, he forgot those are already banned!
Chicago has long been known as a city with some of the strictest gun laws, which stretches back to its ban on handguns in 1982. The Supreme Court struck down the ban in 2010, but the city has continued with other strict laws.
The city has a ban on “assault weapons,” defined as “any weapon that shoots… automatically, more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger,” which includes automatic rifles and “ghost guns.” Large-capacity magazines are also banned in Cook County, which includes Chicago.
Additionally, leaders of Highland Park banned “assault rifles” in 2013, including AR15s and AK47s.
OUCH! The governor is so ignorant he does not realize he is calling for gun bans on guns that are already banned! I am sure, however, that Gov. Pritzker would tells us that background checks would have stopped…..OH, wait
The suspected Highland Park shooter, 21-year-old Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III, was flagged by police as a “clear and present danger” in 2019 but was still able to pass four background checks between 2020 and 2021.
You know Governor sir, I might have some advice for you. Simple, straight forward advice on how NOT to go through life. Of course I do not know if you drink, but these other two…….
