Facing a surging homicide
rate and several headline-grabbing murders, Chicago’s top cop says more gun control
measures are needed. He blames the NRA for the high crime rate which is his
refusal to recognize a failed gun policy. Most every high crime city has strict
gun control policies and the criminals like that. When the New York Journal
News released all the name of gun owners and their addresses the criminals
loved it, now they know which houses are not protected. Good job New York Journal
News.
First let’s take a look at
some facts, why is Chicago’s
crime rate being so publicized, because that is where the president calls home?
They are reporting a high violent crime rate but they are not even close to
being at the top. Chicago has some of the harsh
gun laws in the US
and guess what, it’s not working. Why, because criminals do not follow the law.
Let’s take a look at what cities are the highest crime rates and who will not
protect you because they keep following failed policies proven not to work.
Below are the 10 most dangerous cities for 2012-2013 in the US. Can you see
any similarities (Notice Chicago isn’t one of them)?

If you comparison the above
to the 1960’s it would have been close in the amount of Democrats to Republican
mayors were in charge. I’m an independent but the facts are shown above, if it
was the other way I would say the same against the other party. The bottom line
is if you are a criminal you want your own “gun free zone” and an unarmed
public is perfect. The hard cold fact (and statistics) these days shows if you
want to have your children along with yourself protected, don’t move to a
democratically controlled city. When you keep voting for crooks to be your
mayor, they are going to rip you and the city you call home off. Look at Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit, Ron
Salahuddin of Newark,
and Marion Barry of DC for some good examples. Marion Barry went to prison for
being a crook and after he was released the public elected him to the
D.C. city council, how stupid it that.
Illinois has probably one of the worst records; just look at
their last seven governors who all went to prison:
Rod Blagojevich -- Governor
from 2002 through 2009, when he became the first Illinois governor in history to be
impeached. Convicted of numerous corruption charges in 2011, including
allegations that he tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama's old Senate
seat.
George Ryan -- Governor from
1999 through 2003. After leaving office, was convicted of racketeering for
actions as governor and secretary of state. In November 2007, began serving a 6
1/2 year sentence in federal prison.
Dan Walker -- Governor from
1973-1977. He pleaded guilty to bank fraud and other charges in 1987 related to
his business activities after leaving office. He was sentenced to much more but
only spent about a year and a half in federal prison.
Otto Kerner -- was convicted on
17 counts of mail fraud, conspiracy, perjury, and related charges.
If you want to ignore the
criminal element then look at the poverty side of the coin because poverty does
drive crime and as many know, they both go hand in hand.

Many of the poorest are also
the most violent. Their mayors are not protecting or building chances for the
poor to make it out; you can do it, I did. If you want your city to be safer vote
the Democrats or Republicans who is for gun control out of office, the
criminals will hate it. When criminals don’t know who else has a gun around
them, they are weary because do not know if they have the advantage anymore. They
will move to a strict gun controlled safe zone to increase their odds of being
the only person in the area with a gun. If you don’t vote them out of office
then quit complaining every time an innocent child is killed. You could have
helped prevent it but refuse to vote for what is best for your city and family;
you are the cause of their death. The saddest part is the next child killed may
be yours. The Chicago
top cop is a party line person and is not there to protect you, only the puppet
master politicians who put him there and pulls his strings. Make no mistake; neither
he nor the mayor in any high crime town is there for you.
