You know, if
you listen to these commentaries, I am an unabashed supporter of the second
amendment. There are many who don’t share my zest for our constitutional right
to bear arms. They talk about mass killings and raise money for “common sense
gun laws and responsible gun ownership.”
Those are
all code words for people who want to get into your gun safe.
One such
group which has raised contributions from five million Americans, is a group
called “Every town for Gun Safety.” That group was founded by businessman and
former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He was a Democrat before becoming a
Republican before going back to being a Democrat. He is the sixth richest
person in the country, worth a reported 82-billion dollars making our Governor
look like a pauper.
Bloomberg
wants gun control. He wants lots more restrictions on the most responsible gun
owners. I’ve said it before; the carnage every weekend in Chicago proves the
fallacy of gun control. Last weekend, three were killed and 30 wounded in the
most gun restricted county in Illinois. And Illinois is one of only five states
that require gun owner identification cards.
I guarantee
that none of the people wielding the firearms that caused harm last weekend in
Chicago had FOID cards or were worried about their violations of gun laws.
So how do “common
sense gun laws” change anything when it comes to violence? I don’t get it.

Mike I have had the pleasure of meeting you I find that most of your topics hit home especially this one. I am a law abiding citizen I deserve the right to carry a firearm at work if I so choose. I am however viewed in the community as a liberal . I just want you to know we dont always agree but as you told me in person "hey at least I made you think about it". Thank You you have fans on both sides of the fence.
