USA: Create holiday where the sounds of warfare are simulated all night long

Also USA: Wow why are so many people getting shot on our holiday? Why can’t the cops stop them?

How many weekends in Chicago take place where someone is not shot?
yup, you're right.

ppl look at this as the one big event, but there were 57 shootings this past weekend, many not part of the big event

Certainly you fellers dont think education or whatever will reduce these maniacs with a mission.
We could talk knives and hammers, but we have been over this.
There will always be guns.
yes, the mass knifings and hammerings are out of control.

You were automatically eliminated from answering as soon as he said "reasonable". Your..."idea" would be absolutely impossible to enforce. Therefore it lacks any semblance of reason.

You are being disingenuous when you post like that, like all libs want to do is force everyone to give up their guns even if for just self defense. That is not the case and you know that full well but yet you post crap like this in some kind of vain attempt to cast aspersions on libs and Biden in particular.

Not a great way to try to establish dialog.

I dunno, maybe learn from any other "reasonably" civilized nation on the planet that has no such issues.

A 22 like that would not have been used to kill like in Highland park, which BTW is NOT Chicago, it is an upper class community of my guess mostly white folks.
I used to have a little 22 myself, back when we lived on the road to Mount Palomar, I just used it for plinking cans and such, we leased a 40 acre farm and there was one hill in the back overlooking another farm and several hundred yards away downhill, had my rifle on a stump for support and saw a bunch of rabbits in an empty field so I took a couple of pot shots and needless to say didn't even come close to hitting a rabbit and I don't know what I would have done if I HAD hit one, I only saw the rounds hit the dirt creating a small dust cloud and the rabbits were just ignoring them. Not even close, so that would not have been able to accurately aim at ANYTHING at the parade in Highland park and after a flight of a few hundred yards the velocity of the bullets would have been down to something more akin to a CO2 pistol, so again, NOBODY is saying can't have a 22, you are just continuing the disingenuous route to nothing.

And those would be nations that don't have a constitutional 'right to bear arms' to contend with

It's 27 miles away in one of most affluent places in Illinois.

If you didn't insist on being so throughly brainwashed and/or stubbornly ignorant I wouldn't have to correct such blatant stupidity.

What if I want to walk near a downtown area where a murder took place just last week? With my children. It is the only way to my mother's house. Can I be an exception? Who will be the decider of whether I can protect my children with two guns on my hip? A fair question, given that it could be either a liberal or a conservative.
