#2 The 'authorities' blindly ignore that in Iraq, we let the locals keep their AK's and even supported a 'militia' movement in conjunction with the 'surge'. As long the enlightened city leaders of places like Chicago et al disarm the good and productive citizenry, you just surrender the streets to the thugs.

#4 Well, isnt what supposed to happen when the law protects and comforts criminals and law abiding citizens are put to hard work of breaking stones in shackles? Just reverse it and see the bad crimes vanished. I do not want to say why we tax payer citizens have a habit of shooting our own foot.
