Crack Down On Gangs? Finally!
File this under, why didn’t this happen sooner? The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that a new Illinois law is aimed at cracking down on gang members with guns. And those caught with illegal guns could be sent to prison for three to 10 years for having the firearm.
Of course some in the mainstream media will jump on this, and say, “just wait for the gun lobby to suddenly offer support to gangs” or something equally stupid. The point is that law abiding gun owners should, and likely will, cheer about this news. This is the point. The bad guys shouldn’t have the guns. Guns aren’t bad things, they’re just bad things in the hands of bad people. Send the bad guys away and guns just go back to be things, not bad things.
