He's pledged new initiatives to stop the violence and get guns off the streets, called for "more resources for our children" to stem the shootings. In many ways, anti-violence activists say, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is saying the right things. But after another 13 people were killed in Chicago over Labor Day weekend, including a retired pastor, pushing the city's total homicides this year to 507, the Mayor's Office declined to comment, instead referring questions to the city's police department. |

| Here's an idea, just let the 2nd A in Chicago be banished. Let see how that utopian plan works in practice. No guns, what could possibly go wrong? They already have a good start, let's make this experiment a little more scientific and see how the hypothesis plays out. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
