More nonsense from gun foes

So he's at it again. But now Rev. Jesse is taking his anti-gun rhetoric out of the city, and amassing in the suburbs. They found a new victim in suburban gun manufacturer, D.S. Arms.

Since I knew nothing of D.S. Arms, I went to look at their Web site. Are they makers of cheap, easily available, easily concealed "Saturday Night Specials"? Hardly. The guns they proffer sell in the thousands of dollars. They are large, bulky, high-tech, tactical weapons used by military and law-enforcement.

Is the reverend really suggesting that gang-bangers in Chicago are killing each other with these weapons?

Really? I highly doubt it, and anyone with any common sense would certainly agree.

But there's the Daily Herald, with all of its anti-gun bias showing for all to see, putting Rev. Jackson on the front page -- again.

Front page? In the same issue, an article about a Winnetka teen attending Colorado State University getting his throat slashed in an on-campus attack rates only page 8. Is that because no gun was used in that attack?

I think we need to pass anti-knife laws in Illinois, and the sooner the better. After all, it's only one of your tiny itty-bitty little freedoms, and it's for the children. Certainly this will help make us all safer. But wait! CU is already a "knife-free zone"! I checked the CU Web site on weapons policies, and not only is CU a gun-free zone, but a knife-free zone as well!

Certainly these policies should have prevented this attack! I can't understand why the bad guys just don't follow the rules.

Creating "weapons-free zones" is announcing to the lunatics and criminals of the world that "I'm here and I'm unarmed, and so is everyone around me … so come and get me."

Enough is enough. We must vote out of office all anti- Second Amendment candidates at all levels of government. Also, I have written to my Lake County board member asking him to sponsor a county resolution that would "oppose the enactment of any legislation that would infringe upon the Right of the People to keep and bear arms and to consider such laws to be unconstitutional."

I suggest that you do the same before all the anti-gunners turn first Lake County, then all of Illinois into one giant "gun-free zone."
