just like a driver's license, should be a privilege, not a right:

"From 1888, when law review articles first were indexed, through 1959, every single one on the Second Amendment concluded it did not guarantee an individual right to a gun."

Too much modern legal "scholarship" is not honest. It's bought.https://t.co/Whk0Wa7YWs

Cook County (Chicago) now at 1,009 homicides: 81% black, 15% Latino, 50%+ under 30, BUT St. Louis beats them, and everyone else, life is even cheaper there, clearance rate dropping:

Cook County (featuring Chicago) has logged 1,009 homicides, breaking 1,000 for the first time in 27 years.
100 more than this time last year.
More than half of the victims were under 30. 81% were black and 15% Latino. https://t.co/czqPSO4VcB

St. Louis has the highest homicide rate of any U.S. city. The rate reached a 30-year high in 2020. At the same time, the number of homicide investigations actually closed by the police department dropped. Only 36% of homicide cases were cleared in 2020. https://t.co/k0qA1iVKtz

Chicago does not have adequate forces to police late night hits

A shoplifting mob took $67,000 worth of purses from the Burberry flagship store on the Mag Mile yesterday. Hours later, CPD warned area retailers about late-night burglaries. And CPD manpower has now dipped below 12,000 for the first time in years.https://t.co/f6Qsgd0MlS

good comment about denial of reality

Stating the obvious: Mob storming in, pepper-spraying and shoving people, smashing displays and intimidating people with hammers, is NOT shoplifting, a misdemeanor, but strong-arm robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, felonies. Those who condone this are criminals themselves. pic.twitter.com/EYgEMh9pUz

Cons with rap sheets free on street committing more violent crimes:

A 2X felon was arrested for two shootings, one of them fatal, over a five-day span in Harlem.
In the non-fatal incident a bystander was hit after a drug deal gone bad.
A 2009 conviction was for drug dealing, and in 2007 for attempted weapon possession. https://t.co/W9j7fGRa7y

Quinton Joiner got misdemeanor probation for stabbing a CTA worker in the neck this summer. She popped up in Florida this month and randomly stabbed 2 people, officials say.

It turns out that Florida prosecutors think stabbing people is a felony.https://t.co/2ezvFs8gdJ

I've started to notice a pattern: There is something that could be called a "Philadelphia-style execution".

4 killed if you include the male suspect

lede: A suspect was shot and killed during an “exchange of gunfire” with officers responding to a domestic violence call, the police said. A 12-year-old boy and an officer were also injured

excerpts:

A 12-year-old boy, who was shot in the face, was in critical but stable condition, the police said. Another officer was also injured.

Chief Kevin Roberts of the Clayton County Police Department said at an overnight news conference that the boy, though injured, helped officers find the house where the suspect was found armed with a handgun. The suspect then fled to the back of the house, where he was met by tactical units. The police said in a statement that the suspect was shot and killed after exchanging gunfire with officers.

AND you have to have insurance to own one and to carry one? Or it gets confiscated! Doesn't matter if it's a ghost gun or one you made from a 3D printer...you better have a license and insurance.

edit to add: he injured 6 as well as killing 3 with that single handgun; you don't need an AR-15 to do that.

^ note the shooter used a handgun, not a rifle, so let's not drag out old memes about Democrats trying to regulate military grade automatic rifles and the NRA stopping them, shall we? That's so over! That is no longer the problem. Those owners are sportsman, comparatively, they like to shoot big guns.

The new problem is that everyone and his uncle went out and bought handguns in 2020 in perhaps the greatest handgun buying boom in history while the Geo. Floyd protests and a pandemic were going on. And now those handguns are causing death and mayhem in mass quantities across the country, especially in instances of use by the untrained. Furthermore, they are perfectly legal in most states and localities.

Who the heck is going to go in home and confiscate them? They certainly would not win re-election...

Some kind of licensing as with motor vehicles is the next step? Which would encourage a lot of parents and relatives and family who can effect things to take them more seriously? And allow police to ask to see licenses?

I see zero reasons that handgun ownership and usage should be treated any differently than motor vehicles. Zero.
