    One question for For a Just……

    What kind of local laws does Chicago/Illinois have on gun ownership?

    I wish that all these gun grabbers would wear a sign identifying themselves as such. This way if I see someone with a sign being assaulted at gun point, I will not be compelled to use my concealed weapon (legally concealed) to try and save their life. But then, I was taught that all life is precious so I guess I would at least have to try.

    The motive behind the Second Amendment was that America was so broke after the Revolution that they had to disband the Army. The “well ordered militia” was to be a substitute for a standing army, but they behaved so dismally during the War of 1812 that there was talk of revoking the Amendment. However, at that time, people were so bus stealing the land from the Indians that they decided to keep it.

    We are living in the least violent era of human history, due to the rise of the nation-state and it’s monopoly on violence.https://www.amazon.com/Better-Angels-Our-Nature-Violence/dp/0143122010/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1467641095&sr=1-1

    They used to say humans and apes shared 98% of the same DNA. However recently they finished mapping both sets of DNA and found it’s only 96%, which sound impressive until you find out we share 50% DNA with a Banana. ^_~

    My first comment related to the shadow of the mushroom shaped cloud inside the crime scene tape, our “big brains” perhaps the greatest crime against mankind? Don’t know if Wiliey intended that.

    It’s also the Independence Day priority, for “chickenhawks” to blow things up, and while the massive fireworks displays can be beautiful with the chemical compositions of the bombs, once you’ve been in the close proximity (ten meters) of a Willy Peter round detonating, or see the effect of a mortar (military) round landing close to a human body, that basically evaporates, “blowing things up” is a thing of nightmares for many of we veterans, and we have to seriously displace our “mental orientation” of that “beauty”.

    Whether intentional or not, thank you Wiley, for again noting the “human condition”.

    This is why Twain called man “the lowest animal.”

    … while difficult to believe, the data shows a persistent decline in homicides, with current US rates slightly lower than they were in the 1950s, after bulging upward to about twice where they are today in the 1990s.

    The data speaks for itself:http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0873729.htmlhttps://ourworldindata.org/homicides/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States

    … perhaps this is a case of news media trumpeting murders as if they are occurring everywhere, all the time? When a murder that takes an instant to commit occurs, how many days does it blanket the evening news?

    Which is not to imply that things are hunky-dory, just that in the Fullness of Time, we have become less homicidal.

    Shouting about the murder rate as if it were soaring to the skies only makes that more likely to occur.

    Kinda like the immigrant invasion, another ficticious terror that does not plague our society, or hordes of jihadists lurking around every corner. Of all the terror attacks since 9-11, it strikes me that they have been Americans who are either slightly nuts and pushed all the way to full-on crazies by our klaxons-blaring news media and political machines, or …. I guess that pretty well covers the waterfront.
