Chicago Mayor blames Ft Hood on guns

On Monday, Chicago Mayor Daley blamed the Ft. Hood Jihad Massacre on America’s love of guns!

“Unfortunately, America loves Guns. We love guns to a point where that uh we see devastation on a daily basis. You don’t blame a group.”

The Mayor is using a straw-man argument that conveniently provides him with an opportunity to politicize the terrorist attack as part and parcel with America’s love of guns.

Mayor Daley, and other politicians, like to blame gun violence on the guns themselves because that is so much easier than admitting any inconvenient (politically incorrect) truths which might be revealed if they were to place blame where it belongs.

Kids murdering each other in the inner city? That’s because of guns, not the War On Drugs which turns poor children into black market drug distributing gang members.

Islamists murdering people while shouting Allah Akbar? That’s because of guns, not the Jihad being perpetrated globally against all so called “infidels”.

They blame guns because guns don’t vote.

Taking Mayor Daley at face value for a moment, is he seriously arguing for increased gun control on a military base? If there had been more guns around, this ticking Jihad bomb could have been put down a lot faster than he was.

With no pogrom backlash after 9/11, no pogrom backlash after Bali, no pogrom backlash after Madrid, no pogrom backlash after London, no pogrom backlash after Mumbai, no backlash after countless other Jihad attacks, why would there be any reason to believe the reaction would be any different in this case? As we have written before, the West has already passed this particular civility test.

I would expect no less from that Mafia backed idiot.

I was more fun reading the comments that were sent in. Read about half of them and didn't find one positive one toward him. Makes you wonder how such an unpopular jerk got elected - I forgot; he learned his ballot stuffing ways from his Mafia backed Dad.

I consider myself almost a psychic at times. I sense a vague feeling of distrust towards this fellow...

He`s just and plain ol idiot...
But you got to see where it`s coming from.....
makes me so mad that people are so easy to blame firearms and not the person that does theses sort of things

Man, I must be psychic. I wrote this on Friday not long after I heard the news:

A few predictions:

1) Even though the cat is out of the bag already, the MSM will studiously avoid and try to bury the fact that Malik Nadal Hassan was a Muslim.

2) If they can't do that, the MSM will claim that Hassan was the victim of discrimination.

3) The Brady Campaign, VPC, et al will try to link the shooting to Texas' CHL law.

4) The anti-liberty crowd will try to use this to further their push for a renewal of the failed AWB.

You just wait.

What a total buffoon, if these morons would use even semilogical arguments they would be a lot more dangerous tha they already are. Thank goodness the country as a whole is a lot further right of center than they seem to think with their Obama led "mandate"' for change. I know as far as I'm concerned I will be working to see that they get a taste of change in 2010. I'll agree we need change but these cats want to go hard left and what we need is a veer to the right and someone that can read the Constitution as it was written not as they wish it was.

Why would he try to deflect the spotlight off of this and perhaps other muslims unless he...er, uh...well, is covering for a few in and from the city that Al Capone and Mayor Daley's daddy made famous, Huh?

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley has his own back yard to clean up before he runs at the mouth any further.

"Guns are so dangerous they should be banned for everyone except the police and milit..... ummm, never mind."

[Dudley]

Mayor Daley is the type of person who thinks the movie 300 was peaceful because they didn't have guns.

I believe in freedom, but sometimes I think people that stupid shouldn't be allowed to run for office. Or vote. Or have children.....

Grand Beach, Michigan LEO's were not happy that Chicago Police officers
shot a cougar to death near the Mayor's beach home.

2 of Mayor Daley's neighbors had their houses burned down soon after.
Apparently the arsonists wanted to burn down Hizzoner's house, but
got the neighbors' homes in error.

Daley has bodyguards with guns. But he doesn't believe that average
Joes should have the right to defend themselves. Sheesh.
