The Illinois Supreme Court found the state’s assault weapons ban constitutional. It was passed after the Highland Park shooting last year.

    maybe you’ve never been to a city, or don’t understand what it’s like to live around a lot of people

      I’m glad as fuck I don’t love around a city because apparently it means I have a much much higher chance of getting caught up in gang violence and shot. Why would I want to put up with that?

          How is it a dog whistle to acknowledge high rates of gang violence in cities? Is it suddenly not true because you think it’s racist?

            i know there are cowards out there who need to hide in the country with their guns, it’s okay son… there is still life in the city in spite of your fear… there’s even real people in the city who get along and everything, you should see it…

              I live in a very rural area but I’m in the fucking Bronx twice a week. I just don’t like it, not that I’m afraid of it. But what I’m trying to say is there are fundamental problems if there’s so many gangs creating such a high incidence of gun related fatalities. It’s not a problem of law abiding citizens or of not enough gun laws because criminals don’t obey laws in the first place. Gangs wouldn’t have it so easy if the populace didn’t turn a blind eye.

                and none of that has anything to do with assault weapons in Illinois… do you comprehend that?

                  The funny thing is nothing has anything to do with assault weapons in Illinois because they’re not used in crime.
