It's not arming the entire country. It's about freedom to choose. No one is forcing you to have a firearm. But you have no right to dictate that someone else ought not have that choice. No it’s not about freedom of choice, if I was to move to the US my "freedom of choice" would be not to arm myself. However I don’t realistically have that option, with at least half the population of the US packing heat Im damn sure im going to as well... Then you'd enjoy Chicago. Completely disarmed/vulnerable population, except for the criminals, who love their disarmed prey. Again, we have the Constitution on our side. You'll lose. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

This is hopeless...go forward with your views. I'm just damn glad I have the Constitution on my side. You're going to lose. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

No... it doesn't fail at all. Just like in outlawing guns all together you won't prevent all future acts of violence.. you will however be able to decrease the likelihood of violent shootings from occurring. I'll say it again: Criminals have no difficulties obtaining guns, despite any law--They're criminals who don't care about the law. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Well, I have to point out that you're countering an argument that's not my main point, which is that you have no right to tell others they cannot exercise their rights. It's about freedom of choice. Look it up. It's not about mandatory gun ownership. It's about freedom for each to decide for themselves. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Those are buried in the Bahamas... Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Or try enforcing the ones on the books for a change... Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

And that person was breaking the laws already in force. Further laws will do nothing to reduce this risk, as criminals ignore laws. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Simply because someone used a firearm to kill someone does not mean I should be made to give up my firearms. If someone has been stabbed with a Swiss Army Knife, should I be forced to give up mine? There was a situation where a jilted lover ran her ex-lover with a car, should I be forced to give up my car? Since AQ used aircraft to drop the WTC, should aircraft be banned? Professor, this is not England. We encoded our right to bear arms in our primary guide for government. Put bluntly: If one person shit their pants, we should not all be required to wear diapers. I have never shot anyone. Why should I be made to give up my firearms? WHY? Criminals do not care about gun laws. They will still obtain guns, no matter any law or enforcement effort. On the other hand, those who obey the law will be easy disarmed prey. The Supreme Court has said that police have no mandate to defend any one person, just society as a whole. Therefore, we are rightfully given the right to defend ourselves. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Very melodramatic and non-sequitor of you... Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Just because I can and because of your posts, I'm going to buy another gun this weekend. Gonna get a Glock chambered in 9mm. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Umm... you quote what.. the constitution.. and it disagrees with me.. so I lose? Yes. You lose. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Criminals own guns illegally. The laws do not stop them, Nor will any new law make it difficult to get. Gun laws disarm the peaceful, law abiding citizen, no one else. I am not a criminal. I am entitled to defend myself. My guns are legally acquired and owned. I do not use my guns in an offensive capacity. Defense only. I pose no threat to you, nor do any who share this practice. You have no case. You are appealing to emotion, not logic or the law. You have no argument. You will have to put a bullet in my head before you get my guns. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." You lose. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuureeeee..... Ciels- Michele What were you thinking? I simply mean Neko was cooking my dinner for me... Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

GHW and GWB got elected. Did you vote for Lizzie or Chuckles? Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Because we reject the government getting all up in our lives, and we refuse to adopt socialst policies. With the good comes the bad. -Or- We believe that just because one person shits their pants, that does not mean we should all wear diapers. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Oh yeah? Well, QEII's face looks like my dog's butthole. The Royal Family--how fucking stupid--They're a bunch of rich assholes who do nothing to warrant their lot in life. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Now I have jumped one of those. I loved that aircraft I guess it's true--black really does show all the dirt... Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Sorry, I'm not in the mood to give up my rights to a bunch of eliteist bureaucrats and a bunch of airheaded hippies who think they can control the actions of everyone via legislation. If I was killed with an illegal gun, i'd be just as dead as if it was legal. I'd sooner have my legal gun to defend myself against someone's illegal gun. I've never shot anyone. Why should I be coerced into giving up my guns? Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.
