Lament From Chicago

News from the Windy City:

"It is mildly amusing that many in Chicago are now publicly crying for National Guard assistance in light of our recent spate of violence.

"Local pundits and political gas-bags alike are predictably blaming everything in the world, except the obvious problem:


"Chicago's discredited gun-ban.

"When guns are banned in a 'free society,' criminal violence always thrives.  We see the phenomenon repeated in NYC and in Washington DC.

"But, today most pundits, along with most politicians, are little more than sleazy thugs and criminals themselves, a long and dreary tradition in Chicago.  And, like thugs everywhere, they simultaneously hate and fear  good and decent people, because they themselves are neither.

"They thrive only on dependancy and victimhood, and they never want that  'tradition' to change!"

Comment:  "So long as free citizens do not exercise freedom, [those] who lust to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and devote themselves, in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to  placing chains on sleeping men."
