Chicago has just been reeling from a spate of ongoing gang related violence – especially the recent shootings in the 'Back of the Yards' section of the city. Democrats and progressives don't call the violence gang violence, they opportunistically refer to it as 'gun violence', implying that the absence of guns would equate to the absence of violence. That's a false equivalency, but it's one that they adhere to regardless of the actual facts. Yet, we now have a leading Democrat in the state of Illinois, who despite himself, has basically admitted that the answer for 'gun violence' is … more guns!



Gov. Pat Quinn says he would consider using state resources to help combat Chicago street violence, but only if city officials want the assistance. What sort of 'state resources' does Pat Quinn contemplate mobilizing? Community organizers? No. What then? The State Police and or the Illinois National Guard.

I've conceived of an analog to the gun related crime problem, by looking at an inconvenient truth from the world of animals – the relationship between cats and rodents. It appears to be an apt metaphor, but probably one that progressives will find loathsome. So be it. In any event, I think you will find that the substance of the problem and its solution point up the pitiful lack of intellectual honesty and comprehension of reality of gunophobes.
