        As we know, #FactsDontMatter to Republicans, and the @NRA is about as Republican a group as we have in America.

        Chicago isn't even in the top 20 metro areas for murder. Why do you guys keep obsessing over it?http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/09/26/chicago-not-actually-murder-capital-of-well-anything/ …

        Weird you're comparing Chicago to NYC and Los Angeles, since they both have strict gun control too. How does that comparison help you?

        Replying to @fawfulfan @smac500 and

        A better method is to compare Chicago's *per-capita* murder rate. It's not even close to the rate in NOLA, Atlanta, or St. Louis.

        Hell, even just drive southeast to Gary, IN (where most of Chicago's illegal guns come from) and crime there is worse.

        My only regret of Twitter is that I can't like every tweet that has an appropriate Wire gif. And yeah, who'd have thought?

        Ask the people attacked in a St. Cloud, MN mall with a bowie knife by a nut job if they were happy there was an off-duty cop witha gun there

        Fortunately, all of the people attacked are still alive to ask because the perpetrator was not using any guns.

        Well yeah. After a mass shooting in Aus in 1996, the PM ordered the country to relinquish all guns. We havent had a mass shooting since.
