The public reaction to this will say a great deal about the state of race relations.
There were hundreds of thousands of white people on the street when Trayvon Martin got shot. Will there be hundreds of thousands blacks on the street now or will they think "isn't my responsibility"? The same happens in Europe when muslims go nuts, there are never other muslims on the street to show support for the victims. This creates deep resentment since whites use public gathering as their number one way of showing support.
The difference is the majority of the public outraged have jobs. You aren't going to see hordes of blacks or Hispanics taking to the streets after this. I can't afford to miss work to march the streets...
Why not?
Don't bother doing that yet. Our SJW president is almost out of there. Trump will do something to that place.
We might as well start taking bets on if he will push a Federal Gun Carry permit for the whole country (including NYC), or just make one for Chicago. Would he be willing to send military to round up all the thugs the SJWs won't punish? I can see that possibility.
The truth is that cops take too long to arrive if someone is shooting. Having your own gun puts you on equal force standing. Saw a video of some recent thug in the Houston area trying to attack a person at a stop light. After he hit the glass on that person's car, shots came out, and like a pussy, he ran back to the back of his truck to cower and hide, like the trash he is. I am surprised this doesn't happen more often to be honest, but that is because most people here have enough sense to know that many people have a gun with them at all times. Random home invasions are somewhat rare here for that reason as well.
All these Chicago thugs would stop if a few people at any given time, pulled out their own guns on them, they would think twice about shooting around open areas killing babies and mothers walking around. It won't be a fast fix, because it would take a long time to get enough people trained and armed, but after a few years, it would make the crime numbers drop. Their home invasion numbers will drop as well if the typical home owner is armed.
We tried the Liberals idea of a civilized society/utopia for too long. The West was tamed by the Winchester 1873, and in 2017, America can be tamed by Trump allowing the handgun to be carried by all Americans.

Agreed, I believe the stats show this too. On the other hand, you can't expect everyone walking around armed, some little old lady with a handgun. Overall I agree with you that the price of freedom is the willingness to defend yourself, but there is something for living in a society where it is so safe that no guns are needed. I guess people who haven't experienced it, don't know how cool it is to be able to go anywhere, anytime and never have to worry. Only a few places left, Tokyo was like that for me, smaller towns in Scandinavia and the Baltics, but that is changing too.
I kinda know what you mean. My grandparents never locked their back doors. That was a different time though. Even then my grandfather had plenty shotguns around his bed or his recliner chair. One of his favorite phrases was, "Come on Hoss!"
I feel very safe in China, even at night time, because they tend to execute for most serious crimes. They also do not have guns everywhere. They also don't have our freedom either. That's the trade off.
I myself have seen the following buying pistols and taking the permit classes in Houston:
1. Black women
2. White women
3. Asian women
4. Gay dudes
5. Indian men and their women
6. Middle Eastern guys
7. Old women (black and white and 55+)
8. Recent European immigrants that have moved here. (seen at least 3 of these)
9. Nigerians and other Africans
10. Caribbean guys.
Contrary to popular belief, there is not a sign that says, "Welcome to Texas! You are now required to own two guns."
It's almost like everyone is catching on. I posted about this earlier in another thread, but the NRA even has black women members in senior positions. The tide and the times are changing.
This is why I posted in another thread, that the Democrats are going to keep losing if they do not reverse their anti-gun agendas. Most Americans are no longer anti-gun anymore. Only 3 or so large (Tier 1 cities) Democrat cities are still anti-gun. That's not enough for them to win again. The Amish even listed gun control as one of the major reasons they came out to vote against Hillary.
Your personal safety is your responsibility. Anyone that is not willing or able, leaves their lives in the hands of the police. That is a risk they need to calculate and weigh consciously for themselves.

This shirt sums it up pretty well.

Houses in Chicago need to start having these out front.
