Here is a graph illustrating the correlation of highway fatalities with lemons imported from Mexico.
So maybe we should take away all the firearms from your bodyguards and see what happens. Just for science's sake.

| Chicago Mayor Daley Blames Fort Hood On America's Love Of Guns! |
| 2009-11-11 |
| The Mayor is using a straw-man argument that conveniently provides him with an opportunity to politicize the terrorist attack as part and parcel with America's love of guns. Mayor Daley, and other politicians, like to blame gun violence on the guns themselves because that is so much easier than admitting any inconvenient (politically incorrect) truths which might be revealed if they were to place blame where it belongs. Kids murdering each other in the inner city? That's because of guns, not the War On Drugs which turns poor children into black market drug distributing gang members. Islamists murdering people while shouting Allah Akbar? That's because of guns, not the Jihad being perpetrated globally against all so called "infidels". They blame guns because guns don't vote. Taking Mayor Daley at face value for a moment, is he seriously arguing for increased gun control on a military base? If there had been more guns around, this ticking Jihad bomb could have been put down a lot faster than he was. |

| #5 Jeez, Ritchie. Go pave your roads, sell your water rights or something else that you marginally understand. You've got more guns in Cook County alone than some countries have. |

| #4 Here's another nonsensical cause and effect for you Mayor Daley, to illustrate your thinking: Here is a graph illustrating the correlation of highway fatalities with lemons imported from Mexico.

| #3 So, Mayor Daley that explains all the gun murders and wounding in your fine city where you've virtually ban the gun. It only proves where guns are not made available to the good citizens, those who have no respect for law or authority will bloodily run amok. |

| #2 ...Or if we didn't have radical Imans preaching the destruction of the USA. Do we not prosecute under sedition and treason laws anymore or has PC won out? |

| #1 The best rebuttal to this was that instead of gun control, obviously America needed strict psychiatrist control. Look at the facts: had he not been a psychiatrist, he would not have been on Fort Hood in the first place. Clearly there is a relationship between psychiatrism and mass killing. If it wasn't for the intensive lobbying by the American Psychiatric Association, we would have long ago had a much safer society. Perhaps psychiatrists should be prevented from firing guns by making them wear boxing gloves. |
