Gun Control and Orwellian surveillance backfire in Chicago
Pass a law banning handguns, confiscate 10,000 firearms, set up the most pervasive Orwellian surveillance system in the country, and feed the video into the Department of Homeland Security and what do you get? Chicago was rewarded for their efforts with nearly two dozen people shot across the city in 12 hours. Hmmm. Cities with the highest rates of gun crime (DC, New Orleans, Chicago) seem to have the strictest gun control and the most elaborate surveillance networks. Heavy drug users all smoked pot first, therefore pot is a gateway drug. So, following the same logic, all cities with gun control have the highest crime rate, could it be that gun control causes crime? Or does the logic only to drugs. I wish the MSM would explain to me how I'm supposed to interpret these basic facts. I hate to have to think for myself, as I'm apt to stray toward a politically incorrect decision. Any comments greatly appreciated.
