Re: No place but Chicago or Illinois

When you need a practical means of self defense in a densely populated urban environment, choose the firearm preferred two-to-one by Chicagoland teenage gang members: the Barrett M107A1. At only 57 inches long and 28.7 pounds (without a scope), the M107A1 is handy as a primary or back-up gun. It shoots the ever-popular 50 BMG cartridge which costs only about $4 per round, so you can stock up inexpensively and get plenty of practice at the range. It pairs perfectly with a Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56mm F1 riflescope which adds only 2.5 pounds to the gun and costs only $3,600.

The Barrett M107A1 has an MSRP of only $12,300, so with the Nightforce scope you're out the door for the low, low price of only $15,900. You'll have the most popular gun on Chicagoland streets! Stick one in the back of your pants today!

Shooting at Illinois Juneteenth celebration leaves at least 20 injured, 1 dead
https://www.foxnews.com/us/multiple-cas ... ng-reports
A shooting near a shopping center in Willowbrook, Illinois, early Sunday left at least 20 shot and one dead, according to authorities, in what witnesses describe as a Juneteenth celebration turned violent.

Deputies patrolling near Honeysuckle Rose Lane and Route 83 heard numerous gunshots shortly before 12:30 a.m. and responded to an area where "a large gathering" was happening, DuPage County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Eric Swanson told reporters at the scene.

Swanson said preliminary witness and victim reports indicate at least 20 individuals suffered gunshot wounds, and confirmed that one victim has died.
The location is only 14 miles west-southwest of Chicago proper. A different report stated that it seemed to have been two different groups of individuals (shame on us if we ever use the word "gang") involved, shooting at each other, and about 60 rounds were fired in a 30-second period.

But the problem with gun violence in Chicagoland isn't unchecked gangs, it's the fact that Indiana has less strict gun laws. :banghead:

Re: No place but Chicago or Illinois

Breaking news from Chicago! Politician has solution to violent, armed robberies!

See a robbery happening? This alderman wants you to run toward the offenders while blowing a whistle.
https://cwbchicago.com/2021/12/see-a-ro ... istle.html
"Let’s say you live in a neighborhood that has seen a significant surge in armed robberies during which offenders were targeting up to eight people at a time, frequently pistol-whipped their victims, and even fired shots during some crimes.

"Now, let’s say you happened to see or hear someone being robbed near you. What are some reasonable things you could do? Call 911? Sounds good. Try to get a photo of the robbers or their car from a safe distance? OK. That’s worth a try.

"How about this? How about running toward the robbery while blowing a whistle to attract attention? That’s what Lincoln Park Alderman Michele Smith hopes her constituents will do."
The past two years have have seemed, and continue to seem, like some bizarre absurdist fantasy. You simply can't make up the stuff that the dems and progressives come up with.
