The map does show a few, mostly from the Norfolk area, but nothing like Herr Krause indicates. Let's see, that's from the NYTimes, one of the Krause favorites, so can't be biased. Here's a discussion of the gun control laws in Chicago and just how well it 'controls guns'. Sounds like Chuck's Gun Shop is the 'real' gunshow loophole! http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/30/us...tal-shots.html The Virginia trunk dealers are presently out of stock. Tell us, Mr. Rocket Scientist, why would someone who lives in Illinois be interested in buying a firearm in Virginia when next-door Indiana has such lax firearms regulations? Not that Virginia has any sort of serious firearms regulations. When I sold my SIG to a Virginia resident, I arranged for the transfer to be done by an FFL there, but I called the Virginia State Police first and was told they didn't care how I did the transfer. But both the buyer of my SIG and I wanted to do a "kosher" transaction, so we split the $20 FFL fee. Tell us, Mr. Brainiac. Why would a Maryland resident like you be interested in the gun laws and fatalities in Chicago/Cook county Il. ? At least enough to throw your wooden nickels worth of thoughts on this thread... I was not interested enough to drill down on that list but how many guns came from Maryland? The stats for every state are not provided. The US map with all the circles gives a rough idea. |

You better build a lot of those prisons. Your synapses are misfiring again. Never said what you claimed. What I did say is that I am not in favor of private, for-profit prisons. You're quite the trip, constantly mis-stating what I post or think. Try to stay on topic and it will be a lot easier. We were talking about "broken Windows" and "stop and frisk" |

Any news outlet that has a conservative slant on things is somehow defective to you. On the other hand, if they lean left they are the gospel truth. Oh, really? I don't spend much time whining about the Wall Street Journal, even though it is a Fox New outlet. It is a little more responsible than, say, the NY Post. The Wash Times is a Moonie paper...it's a special case in the world of rightwing propaganda. I actually know a couple of people who worked there and whose reportage was "changed" by the church editors to reflect more of the church' right wing "slant," as you call it. I don't slam the rightwing "Real Clear Politics" site. Oh, I also don't claim any left leaning papers as "the gospel truth." You really have a problem here, fella. You continuously protect your anti-progressive fantasies on others. BTW, what's the catechism of your Libertarians on "stop and frisk," which you favor? |
