More Proof That Gun Control Doesn't Work

http://cbs2chicago.com/local/chicago.overnight.shootings.2.1105574.html

14 people were shot in a matter of 4 hours in the city of Chicago last night. Chicago which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country including a ban on handguns, magazines holding over 10 rounds, and what the media loves to call "assault weapons" is home to some of the highest violent crime rates in the country. Side note why when a gun is used to kill someone it is an assault weapon, but when someone is run over with a car or killed by someone with a hammer they are not referred to as an "assault vehicle" or "assault hammer". The gun did not commit assault the person who fired it did. OK so back to Chicago, with the gun control laws they have in place, which are similar to what many Democrats want put into place across the United States, there shouldn't be crimes committed with guns right? The problem with this theory is that criminals have guns and they are not going to be lining up at the community center to turn them in and follow the law. Civilian gun ownership is necessary to allow citizens to protect themselves from these crazy gun wielding criminals. A criminal is much less to shoot someone he is worried may shoot back. When are people going to being able to logically understand that an armed society is a polite society?

Obama Quote From Last Night's Speech

So during his speech last night Obama stopped talking about families and rising health costs long enough to address the case of Henry Gates, the Harvard professor who was arrested in his own home for disorderly conduct after being less than cooperative with police officers.

"What I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately," Obama said. "That's just a fact."

Which I think is funny because there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos committing crimes disproportionately. That's just a fact!
