Who did what ?

It would be so much better, if the post was left intact, with big red letters across it - "Member was (insert administrative action here) for this post."

Hee is what Hash said --"

Are you trying to say there were no battles before guns were invented?"

He obviously was not saying Big Dog said that,. It was an interrogatory ! Hence the question mark..

Right, and the answer to that question demanded the hyperidiotic response below. Look, if you don't want an answer, then then don't ask a question. It's simple, really.

What is it with you. when you state some bizarre opinion nobody agrees with and you can not defend, you change the subject, say you did not say it, then blame it on reading comprehension .

I

agree because most of us at one time or another can be a little snarky, even if just playing.

I always wonder "was it me"

If it was then the Mods are unreasonable, prejudiced and show favoritism

If it was one of the opposition, then they are valiant knights crusading for fairness and justice and we should appreciate all they do .

For sure but I think they need to publicly post who the perp was and what he did , so we can learn.

Chicago has seen a 31% reduction in homicides since finally being forced to implement concealed carry, and they have barely begun.

Chicagoan here (well, close enough). Just wanted to point out that concealed carry hasn't actually been implemented here yet. A 30-day extension was granted to give the governor more time to review it.

By the way, that was a 34% decrease... from this time last year, which was a statistically unusual high period. We should probably also take into account that the city put hundreds of additional police on the streets in high-crime areas in response to the previous increase in homicides, and Chicago experienced a trend of strangely cold weather for this area during the decline (yes, the weather does play a part... the hotter it is, the higher the rate tends to be. I'm not even joking)... whiiiich is why we're not too optimistic about the trend continuing.

Sorry. Facts not allowed.

No facts, please. Facts are devastating to the argument the gun nuts are making.

Sorry. Facts not allowed.

lol - you beat me to it.

Unfortunately, your facts will go ignored by the gun nuts.

I know !

It's gonna get hotter, and the murder/death/kill counts are gonna increase.

I'm looking forward to it, really.

Yay Chicago ! Go Chicago !
