Chicago Is Hazardous To Children

AND EVERYONE ELSE…

Jonylah Watkins was only six months old when her life was suddenly ended by a gang banger with a gun. Thirty-three year old Koman Willis, a man with documented gang ties, shot the baby as she sat on her father’s lap in his parked vehicle. Jonathan Watkins was the intended target because he allegedly stole Willis’ video game console.

Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation yet it is among the most dangerous places to live. More people are murdered with guns in Chicago than in most places (if not all) in this nation and certainly more than any place where the right to keep and bear arms is not infringed.

We have been through this before. Criminals do not obey gun laws so people like Willis will continue to use firearms illegally. Law abiding citizens are stripped of their rights while those with no regard for the law continue to obtain and use firearms illegally. There is no doubt that gun control and the failure of the judicial system resulted in the death of this innocent child. You see, Willis has 38 prior arrests so it is highly unlikely he is allowed to own a firearm. It is also a mystery why a person with such a record is not behind bars where he could not shoot people.

Chicago is an open fire murder zone where people are shot and killed each and every day despite the fact that guns control is extremely strict there.

This is the progressive dream city and it still has gun murders. The reality of this escapes progressive politicians like Barack Obama and Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley who continue to harp on gun control as a means to end gun violence. Disarming law abiding citizens will not make them safer. There is no clearer example than Chicago but the progressives push on. They only want the agents of government to have firearms.

[note]The progressives tell us that certain firearms (they desire all firearms) should be banned because they are only suitable for war. These firearms are possessed by police departments across the nation so if they are only suitable for war, just who are the police departments planning on going to war with?[/note]

While gun control certainly plays a part in the violence in Chicago it is not the only reason. There is a fundamental breakdown in the family unit and in societal norms. Society is definitely in decline when members of the society think an appropriate response to the theft of a video console is to murder the alleged thief. When neighbors are so terrified that they will not cooperate with police, when young men father children with many women or women have many children with multiple men there is a problem. That problem is exacerbated in the generational welfare state.

People lose all self respect and all respect for life. The code of the street and the gang becomes the norm and we end up with babies being murdered because a father allegedly stole a video console.

While politicians beg gang members to stop shooting children and churches beg the community to come together and repent the violence continues.

It continues because people are no longer accountable for their actions. It happens because people become dependent on the government and lack the responsibility and social mores that keep a society together.

Basically, people become animals and act like them while an overburdened judiciary keeps turning criminals back to the street and government keeps digging in deeper to keep people on the plantation.

It is sad that Jonylah was murdered but even sadder that her death was not an isolated incident in the jungle known as Chicago.

It is also sad that the gun will be blamed for this as it is for all gun related murders.

Cave canem!

    I don’t believe that Obama confiscating our guns is for citizen safety at all. The fact that the government is collecting all the ammunition they can and having tanks set up shows me that Obama’s only purpose for taking the guns is to give him full control over the country and us and making us defenseless to fight him. Our leaders and the people have to wake up to what he is doing before it is too late. There is enough against him now to impeach him and this should also include taking him out of office. Let him go back to where he came from and suffer the way he is making people in the US suffer. Insurance companies are already starting to refuse paying for some surgeries or will not allow you to be admitted to the hospital after surgery.
