Stupid is as stupid does

Chicago's Mayor and Police Superintendent must have watched Forrest Gump recently. They want Chicago residents to tweet them with ideas about how to stop gun violence in Chicago and how to cut off the flow of illegal guns into Chicago.
Notice the assumption? That there is an illegal flow of guns into Chicago that is resulting in gun violence? What? Has "Fast and Furious" come this way?

And they are so interested in solutions that they want residents to put them into as many words as can be written with 140 letters. Dumb! Stupid! Solve Chicago's violence and illegal gun problems with a tweet to "#whatifchicago"?

If Rahm Emanuel and Garry McCarthy want to stop gun violence, maybe they should pay visits on the Cook County Democratic State Legislators who don't trust the law-abiding constituents in their districts to carry concealed weapons legally. When tho.se guys get out of the way and let law-abiding citizens carry concealed weapons, gun violence in Chicago will slow way down. It might not totally stop immediately, but it'll drop 50-75%.

I'll tell you what will stop gun violence. When the criminals start fearing that people are going to shoot back - that's what will stop it.

When the punks roll down the street and shoot kids and other people from their cars, just imagine if about 50 people started unloading shots into the car before it got to the end of the block. The shooters would be dead in the car on the fireplug at the corner. No police chases. No worries about response time. No investigations. Just carry the bodies away. Tow the car. Case closed.

Then put up a Safe Neighborhood sign. Oh, yes. A few medals for the residents, too.
