We don't have a gun problem we have a justice system problem that won't and can't convict criminals who use guns and are therefore free to murder people...

Why Are Chicago Police and Prosecutors Failing to Convict on Illegal Gun Possession? - The Truth About Guns

Some 4,100 of the 5,700 cases ended in convictions, the vast majority from plea bargains. In the other 1,600 cases, the defendants were not convicted. In about 600 cases, the prosecutor dropped the charges. It is not clear how many of the remaining 1,000 cases were cleared by a judge, and how many ended in jury trials.

and of course they didn't address the length of the sentences for the gun charges...
 
Yes, we are sending so many people to prison we can't afford to lock up the petty crooks.

Still doens't mean giving guys with small peckers guns to compensate for stuff is anywhere near a good idea.
 
As usual, when you don't have anything intelligent to say to refute the other side just resort to juvenile insults. You forgot my daddy can whip your daddy.
