Chicago Tribune:

Angry Parents Push For Gun Control

You wouldn’t know the facts from the article because it spends the first eight paragraphs giving details designed to tug at the heart strings. Then two people mention that they’re angry.

So, let’s push for gun control!

Let’s institute licensing and registration for gun owners! Oh, they already did that in Illinois.

Let’s close the gun show loophole! Oh, they already did that in Illinois.

Let’s mandate locks be sold with handguns! Oh, they already did that in Illinois.

Let’s pass laws to keep guns out of the hands of underaged! Oh, they already did that in Illinois.

Pass laws preventing those adjudicated as mentally defective from possessing arms! Oh, they already did that in Illinois.

Let’s ban the carrying of arms! Oh, they already did that in Illinois.

Let’s push for a ban on on weapons that look like assault weapons! Wait, the killer didn’t use one.

Ok, I’m stumped.

Recall that Illinois ranked as the ninth best at gun control out of 50 by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership.
