Chicago Pols Want National Guard to Fight Violent Crime
There should be no violent crime in Chicago. The city banned handguns and is currently fighting in the Supreme Court to keep that ban. They've had it for years yet the shootings keep happening. Illinois is one of only two states that does not allow for any sort of concealed carry of handguns by law abiding citizens. So why do they need the National Guard. Simple, the crooks know that there is no one that can stop them. The police have no obligation or requirement to protect the public as confirmed by the court case Warren vs. District of Columbia.
Warren vs DC Info There are too few cops to do the job anyway. Criminals are basically lazy and cowards. They choose the weakest to prey on. Women, children, the infirm, the weak, the small, and the elderly. They choose locations that offer the easiest pickings. Dark areas, off the beaten path where they won't be seen. They want victims that can't fight back because it is easier. So naturally crime is high in areas where the average, law abiding citizen is stripped of any means to protect themselves. The criminal doesn't care that there is a ban on firearms. He welcomes it because he doesn't care about the ban but he knows that the law abiding will follow the rules. It makes the criminal's job easier. Ever wonder why places like gun stores, shooting ranges, police stations, or Texas are almost never the locations of mass shootings in the last 10 years but gun free places like schools, malls, churches, office buildings and other places where guns are prohibited seem to get all the mass murders? Simple, those gun free zones make for easy targets. Like Lions on the plains of Africa, the predators that would kill our families and friends go to where the easiest prey can be found. Where they can do their evil without fear of any meaningful resistance. Gun bans are a criminals best friend.
