Well, liberals: it's called a truism because it's, eh, true.

Curiously, cities where law-abiding citizens can freely carry concealed weapons appear to be experiencing considerably less gun violence.
Which is just more evidence that liberalism is the philosophy of the stupid.

The ban was overturned over a year ago. Look it up. I appreciate the point you're trying to make and I would guarantee none ofthe weapons used were legal. So it's just semantics, but thought you should know.
Liberalism is often the philosophy of those who are insulated from the consequences of being wrong. Government buildings in Chicago are protected by gates, metal detectors and armed police. I am certain that the vast majority of those who vote for gun bans do not live in the neighborhoods where shootings happen regularly. Most liberal government leaders and voters can afford to be wrong on this and many other issues. It won't affect them directly.
