Welcome to the South Side of Chicago, in real time.
(Yep. We need to keep ARs legal. They do so much for the safety of all Americans.).
Your comment does not match the article you posted. The article starts by correctly pointing out that one needs a Federal License, which is expensive and hard to get, to possess a fully automatic weapon. The thugs included in the article undoubtably ignored the law and got the guns illegally. No surprise, criminals are criminals because they commit crimes.
Additionally, "ARs" are not Automatic weapons.
Oh, excuse me. Semi - automatic weaponry. I guess symantecs are your complaint here???
The article is about an automatic (simple listen to the rapid firing bullets flying around, versus the standard pulling the trigger for each bullet sound, which is CLEARLY audible in the video.)
And "thugs" just for clarification, is an outdated and racist af term. January 6th officially changed what, exactly, thuggery is. #justsayin
@SeaGreenEyez No, fact was my point. There is a big difference between semi-automatic and full automatic. Your initial comment was about "ARs" and the "need to keep them legal". Whether ARs were legal or not would not affect the article you reference because the article was about automatic, not semi-autpmatic weapons. You conflated the two.
"Thugs" is an outdated racist term for people looking for reasons to be offended. ALL races have thugs. Hyper-sensitive groups don't get to decide what is racist.
That canβt be real. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation and automatic weapons are stupid illegal on a federal level.
Iβm calling BS
You can call it anything you like. I personally volunteer to help South and West Side youth flee Chicago gun violence. I'm not certain just how you think this was "manufactured" but my real experiences versus your pretend knowledge of what goes on in Chicago, leaves me with an educated opinion which Trump's (yes, pun intended) your ignorance to reality.
You actually think gun laws keep guns off the streets???
Now, go away and do some research on Chicago's gun violence so you don't embarrass yourself further. (AND Chicago isn't even the deadliest gun violence city in America, that would be Detroit. Chicago is 31st. 2019 statistics. 2020 won't be calculated in full until August.)
Let me help you get started.
