No, it's the Double Down Saloon in Vegas.

Could it really be that 'Happiness is a Warm Gun'?

And Illinois with a lower percentage of folks owning guns and Chicago has 40 shootings this weekend alone! Some use guns for practice ranges and game and others consider humans "game"

I assume the map refers to legal gun ownership.

True.

And from a link that Boilerman(!) posted yesterday, but forgot to read:

"Compare that to New York, a city with three times as many people but fewer incidents of gun violence. Like Chicago, New York City has equally strict gun laws, but unlike Illinois, New York State also has firm gun laws in place that make it harder for middlemen to bring firearms into the city."

That is very speculative. correlation/causation. You know. Maybe NY people are just less prone to violence. What you bolded implies that additional laws in Illinois are the cure for gun crime. I'm well versed in NJ gun law and have no idea what this middlemen law refers to. If you want to buy guns illegally, no laws are going to stop that; they will only punish you if you get caught.

It's really simple. If a car dealer sells someone a car without checking for a driver license or without verifying liability insurance, they are liable for subsequent damages.

If you don't think vehicle laws like that reduce carnage on our streets, you are a ninny. Ditto gun laws.

You don't need a drivers license to buy a car & you only need insurance if you intend to register & drive the car

You haven't addressed the middlemen that was the part you bolded. Who are the middlemen? Aren't there already federal laws governing their actions.

Oh sure. In every state that I know of, if you sell more than a minimal number of cars every year, you have to get a DEALER LICENSE and are required to keep records of every sale you make, including illegal ones made to buyers who are not licensed or not insured. Do you like that law, snidely? I do.

If gun straw-purchasers had to get such licensing and had to keep records of who they sell to, Chicago would look a lot more like New York City, one of the safest big cities in the world.

Oh one more thing. Is there a more brain-dead stupid statement than "If you want to buy [FILL IN THE BLANK] illegally, no laws are going to stop that; they will only punish you if you get caught." Congrats snidely, you just got rid of the laws banning bombs, sarin gas, and kiddie porn - you must be so proud.

There's no doubt in my mind that if there were a great demand for sarin gas or bombs.. someone,somewhere would be able to hook you up. Kiddy porn? there is somewhat of a demand because it's apparently available because I see guys getting busted for it fairly often in the news.

What a lame comeback (as is the insult)
