As for the second article about the incident in Chicago, my comments/snide remarks are as follows:
1. "authorities believe [the crime] involved an assault rifle"
I don't care what kind of gun was involved. It could have been a civil war era canon for all I care. The gun didn't commit the crime, the murder(s) did.
2. One of the quotes bugged me a lot:
"It's just tragic, based on the guns that are on the streets, that three young men have lost their lives today," Weis said.
It's not tragic that the guns are on the streets. It's tragic that murders are on the streets. There are plenty of law abiding people who carry guns all of the time (mot of the people on these forums I'm sure). However, not in Chicago. I'll agree with banning guns the day I see my rifles load themselves, point themselves at somebody, and pull their own triggers. Needless to say, that hasn't happened yet.
