What all these anti everything types forget is that this map and the registry that it came from only identify legally owned hand guns. What they should be worried about is the location of the thousands of UNREGISTERED handguns.

With this subject the morons are doing much more to identify themselves than any dangerous owners of guns!-:)

The criminals in Australia, New Caledonia , Vanuatu and other nations love it. The are hosted by a unarmed citizenry as they rob them at gunpoint. Nice not to have to worry about return fire when running from a crime scene.

CNN Confronts Jesse Jackson Over Chicago’s High Gun Violence Despite Draconian Gun Laws

During a segment on Chicago reportedly hitting the sad milestone of its 500th homicide in 2012 (there is now a discrepancy), the Rev. Jesse Jackson was asked to explain how gun violence in Chicago can be so high despite the Draconian gun laws. Additionally, the host pointed out that if such gun laws were enacted on a larger scale, couldn’t we expect a similar rise in violence in other big cities?

Jackson squirmed, and even oddly tried to blame gun ranges for the massacre: “You know, I think about Newtown, for example, they have three or four gun ranges. Now, there are no gun ranges in Chicago. [They] have almost no unemployment. … Newtown is so different than the complexity of the urban crisis.”

But the host didn’t back down.

“Rev. Jackson, I’m going to make one more turn at this question, because the original question was, Chicago has some of the strictest and most tough gun laws in the country,” he said boldly. “If this level of gun laws doesn’t work in Chicago, and you still have the guns coming from outside the city in, and now you got 500 homicides this year, what is the argument to extending this nationally and to other cities?”

Jackson responded that “the guns are not coming from Chicago,” but the host noted that Chicago still isn’t working as a model for gun control considering 87 percent of the homicides were gun-related.

“Chicago is in a bubble as the manufacturer — we’re a target market for gun flow. And they exploit the poverty and the pain,” he said, before expanding the blame on “lack of education and lack of dreams.”

In other words, he seemed to admit that stopping violence isn’t really all about guns.

So of course anyone who wants to drive drunk should not be restricted because it interferes with their free choice. But that is not what a free democratic society is about. It is about freedom only if it does NOT harm others. .

Now first on my list of freedoms is that of being able to live without needing to protect myself against every nutball who wants to go back to the wild west where looking either prosperous or even disapprovingly at someone brings death. Democracy is about electing officials who are supposed to bring order, to BEST serve those who have elected them. There is a difference between the rights of a few and those of the majority.

There is no such thing as a right to be safe.
