In the news clippings below you'll find several crimes committed with the use of a firearm; all of them in Chicago, (all in the same day) America's Murder Capital, yet Obama and the people he surrounds himself with (i.e. Mayor Rahm Emanuel et. al) cannot and will not do anything to prevent such crimes. They'll just let them continue until they have enough people convinced that the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution needs repealing. ~ Norman E. Hooben

A father was arrested after his 6-year-old son found a loaded gun and accidentally shot his 3-year-old brother in the head Saturday night in their Humboldt Park neighborhood home on the West Side Michael Santiago, 25, has been charged with one felony count of child endangerment causing death, according to a statement from Chicago Police.
Santiago stored the loaded gun on top of a refrigerator in their home in the 1000 block of North Francisco, police said.
His sons were playing cops and robbers at 9:05 p.m. Saturday when the older boy saw the gun, grabbed it and accidentally shot his younger brother, 3-year-old Eian H. Santiago, in the head, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
A family member carried Eian to Norwegian American Hospital. The boy was later transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital, where Eian was pronounced dead at 11:48 p.m., authorities said. More than a dozen people gathered outside Sinai early Sunday, crying and hugging, as they waited to hear news of the boy’s condition.
Santiago is a former gang member and got the gun from another gang member, Chicago Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. Santiago had the gun in the home for protection, but it was not legally registered.
The Chicago Anti-Gun Enforcement unit is looking into the history of the gun and additional charges may be filed against Santiago, Guglielmi said. Santiago was ordered held on a $75,000 bond in court Sunday.

Guns are not our problem!
by
Georgia Law Enforcement Officer
Written in response to a Baysides news article
A mechanic uses "tools" for his/her trade. Many have killed with those "wrenches, screwdrivers, pipes, tools.
A secretary uses "tools" for his/her trade. Many have killed with those "letter openers, staplers, pens, tools.
A carpenter uses "tools" for his/her trade. Many have killed with those "hammers, knives, nail guns, you know "tools".
One of these days we will wake up and see that the tools of a trade are not our problem. We will eventually see that society is the problem in itself. Instead of asking how children are getting guns, ask why? What is driving our children to turn to guns? Why are they using these guns now, when 20 years ago, they were even more available and not used near as often. One of many answers is the fact that parents put their children in front of 3 to 9 hundred acts of violence per day. This includes national TV, video games, movie theaters, etc. We have learned over the past 25 years that violence is natural. To shoot and kill is "fun." We have desensitized children from feeling remorse, when it comes to hurting others.
I admit we have a problem in our society. The problem is not guns, but the way we are raising our children. The problem is the fact that everyone wants to help, but no one wants to do it the hard way. The problem is that it's easier to destroy guns overnight, than to teach our children morals over their first 6 years. The problem is legislators pass these "feel good" laws to make people think they are doing something. To make themselves feel like they are earning their money. I believe some honestly think they are helping, but we have to wake up and deal with the real problems. 90% of crimes committed with firearms are carried out by people that "laws" "prevent" from having them.
Here is a perfect example of how our society is: A 13 year old wakes up at 2 in the morning. He is bored, so he takes dads car and picks up 3 friends. They get drunk or drugged up. They go around vandalizing whatever comes into their path. They drink or "smoke" a little more and eventually crash at 5 a.m. It kills 2 of the 4 and the 27 year old mom and her 2 children. This is horrific, but the first questions our society asks are: Where were the police? Where were the parents? What were these boys doing out at this hour? No one says, oh my, look what that car did. No one blames the car. Place a gun in that scenario, instead of the car and what do you have. All the blame turns to the gun. "oh my, look what guns are doing to our society". Where did they get that gun? Guns are no different than they were 100 years ago, but consequences are much different.
Guns are a necessary part of society. We need them to protect ourselves. We need them to ward off criminals. If guns are wiped out, what does the criminal have to fear? If you think that the police will be there exactly when you need them, you are extremely naive. Society has an average of 1 officer to every 20,000 people. In a lot of municipalities, it's much lower than that. Most agencies are only able to respond to an incident after it happens. If some crazed idiot breaks into your house and is intent on killing you, you had better have some form of protection, because your local officer is probably across town handling a false burglar alarm or a complaint about nuclear strikes in Bosnia. Bear arms and protect yourself and loved ones!

7. White House Confirms Obama Wants To Ban Guns
8. President Obama Shows His True Gun Control Agenda
Note: There is overwhelming evidence that Obama (and Hillary Clinton) wants a total ban on guns...any suggestion that it is only a partial ban is part of the strategy of the entire left leaning Democrat Party...they'll bite off as little as they can until it's a slam dunk. Everyone needs to brush up on the Saul Alinsky tactics used by these power hungry people who want to fundamentally change America. Obama uses these tactics successfully...before him it was Bill and Hillary Clinton...only Obama does it better. Also recall that Hillary Clinton wrote her college thesis on Saul Alinsky... a man she admired and still does. Saul Alinsky wanted to hire Hillary but she turned him down and she went off to Yale where she met Bill. And if you don't know it by now, Saul Alinsky hated America. Due to time and space I'm not going to get into any discussion about the matter here but you can review my post, "What is an Alinskyism" and if you have any questions please devote a minimum of 11,000 hours of study before you ask... 11,000 hours? Yeah, that's when I stopped counting. ~ Norm
