I thought they were still down year to date? Or have they blown that already.

They're just celebrating the freedom to use their guns for their intended purpose.

Yet the Brady Campaign has Illinois in the top 10 states (number 8) with the strongest gun control laws. Go figure....

The horse is so far out of the barn that closing the door now will probably not make any difference. I guess we just need to get used to the carnage.

State by state gun laws are as useless as a milk bucket with a bull. When was the last time you crossed a state line and had your car searched for illegal guns?

It appears the murder rate is lower than last year. 2013: 421 murders, so far past 1/2 this year 145 +5.

So what is it, C-towns great gun laws, or the forced expansion of legal gun buying rights?

Here's another mega-decade Dem machine stronghold that looks terrible. I blame the GOP.
