In this great editoral from the Washinton Times the author discusses Chicago's mayor, Richard Daley, claims that even more strict gun laws are needed to stop the bodies from dropping.
While he continues ahead with his unconstitutional push to ban firearms in the city other state law makers are requesting that the National Guard be sent in to keep order.
Ever since Chicago instituted the hand gun ban in the 1980's their homicide and crime rates have grown far quicker than other major cities. In contrast when the Supreme Court struck down the Washington D.C. handgun ban the murder rate dropped 25% the next year.
Despite the writing on the wall Daley and other anti-gun supporters continue to claim that keeping guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens will reduce crime. As we all hold our breathe waiting for the Supreme Court to declare their stance on the McDonald Chicago gun case let's all hope they have more sense than the Mayor.

I have previously written about the connection between draconian Nazi gun control policy and modern day American gun control efforts. I was blasted as being an "idiot" and "gun nut" for saying that dictators like Hitler used strict gun laws to disarm their victims before they began their campaigns of genocide.
Yet I came across a great letter send to the editors over at Ammoland.com from a son of Holocaust survivors who notes that if gun control advocates like Mayor Bloomberg continue their efforts they are setting up the American public for more attacks and trouble.
Terrorists, criminals and others who mean to kill and harm people will not let gun laws get in their way. Through higher taxes, stricter purchase requirements and tighter registrations these laws only serve to disarm the rest of us by making it harder to own a gun. For example the people at Ft. Hood, a military base, had to call 911 because no one was armed!
No matter how well intentioned these laws are gun control advocates don't seem to understand there is no relation between gun control policy and crime. More over by disarming all of us the only people who will have weapons are the government and the criminals. That's a scary thought my friends!
Gun control isn't the answer; more responsible, law abiding people armed is though! Give this lettera read and let your elected officials know how you feel.
