George Webb incident up in Milwaukee yesterday? Backlash

[warriorchick]

Doesn't Chicago have some of the strictest gun laws out there?


Doesn't stop this Cook County judge from carrying one and letting it accidentally fall out of his pocket:

We need more guns in every state.

Happiness is a warm gun.

Archie Bunker wanted to hand out guns to every airline passenger to "stop your hijackings and skyjackings."

And when was Archie ever wrong about anything?

Guns! Guns! Guns!

1. No, Chicago doesn't have some of the strictest gun laws out there. That's a myth.
2. Conceal carry has been legal in Illinois for more than four years. I suspect you knew that. The judge had a license to do so.
3. But he's in big trouble because concealed guns aren't allowed in a courthouse.

What are the stats if you take out hunting-related deaths?

There was one hunting-related death in Wisconsin in 2016. There were 664 gun deaths that year.
So, my limited math skills tell me that taking out hunting-related deaths won't make much of a difference.

What is you take out suicides?

What is you take out suicides?

Why would we do that? One of the leading factors in successful suicide is the availability of a gun.

Actually, Chicago doesn't.

Because the discussion is about gun violence. Not self infliction. That is a whole mental health problem.

Anytime I met a new person in England one of the first questions asked was if I had any guns.

Back to the original topic, as a late night food aficionado, the only place I've seen security at a 24 hour joint is at the IHOP at Howard and Western. Rogers Park people could probably attest to that.

So I don't know how logistical security is at late night dining establishments.

I'm not sure he should have been fired, but the policy is pretty standard. Employees shouldn't be putting themselves in harm's way during a robbery.

i can agree, but is this a rules are rules thing? 

   sure didn't take them long to fire him.  i don't know this guys history, warnings etc, but he quite literally saved some lives.  i wish the cops at the stoneman douglas school shooting would have had 1/2 the testosterone of this guy.

A full response here would be overly political, but yes, suicide by firearm is gun violence. And it is categorized as such by the CDC, WHO and every other organization that tracks causes of death.
The notion that suicide is something other than gun violence is a lie that's been told to you by the gun lobby that wants you to believe that owning a gun makes you safer, when all empirical data says otherwise.

Is intentionally OD’ing on pills “pill-violence”?

If the discussion were about the overprescription of drugs of abuse, you bet.

Also a crisis that needs to be addressed.    But it is ok to take steps to address this one.  I clean up after both.  Guns are a little more definitive.  We sometimes save the pill takers.    And pill takers don't usually take others with them.  Shooters frequently do.

What if we take out all of the people shooting themselves or others?

Well, at least the CDC is permitted to study gun violence...
