Well, they do have similar rates of murders and shootings, so it is logical that you would have that expectation....

I agree with Jesse. Ogump should resign and return to Chicago immediately and forever.

Why Chicago Obama's problem? Seems like the mayor & governor should step up.

If Jesse Jackson ever had any courage and leadership skills, this problem is made for him. To me it's demeaning for him to imply that Black folks in Chicago are too uncivilized to stop killing each other without federal intervention. Why doesn't Al Sharpton use his megaphone to attack the problem like he did in Florida after the Trayvon Martin murder, when he moved his show to Florida?

I actually agree with you...and this would be more in line with what I would say if I gave a serious answer. Just couldn't resist the "get him out of the Oval Office" joke. Biden would be better...definitely not more competent, but he wouldn't have the cultlike following, so people would start asking the tough questions about this administration's policies.

Its not worth Jackson's time if he can't extort a few million from a corporation. In addition he my lose some political capital. Its better to put it on Obama. Maybe an easier way to de-nut him.

Of course not. ATF ought to be a convenience store, not a govt bereaucracy.
We can't enforce, nor do they work, the 20k gun control laws we have on the books already. Why would one more do any different?

Evidently, you have my views on the Second Amendment confused with somebody else's.
