Banning Assault weapons may not be the right direction according to this

Gun laws in Illinois

Cook County and the city of Chicago have separately banned the possession of "assault weapons", and of magazines that can hold more than 10 or 12 rounds of ammunition respectively.

Illinois does not issue licenses for the concealed carry of firearms, nor does it recognize licenses issued by other states. Illinois is the only state that does not allow concealed carry in some form. Open carry is also prohibited in most areas.

When a firearm is being transported, it must be unloaded and enclosed in a case.

To legally possess firearms or ammunition, Illinois residents must have a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card, issued by the state police.

Yet Chicago ( This is where Obama came from) has just passed 500 murders with over 2,500 being shot, 63 murdered (http://crimeinchicago.blogspot.com/2...n-chicago.html 454 have been shot)were children for the year. Which puts a shadow on the idea that banning assault weapons or spending the time doing so is a waste of time.

People outside the US that have never lived here will not understand our culture, they can give all the advice they want. I would bet that the crime rate in the Nations capital has gone down since the Supreme Court ruled allowing them to own guns again.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
