Gave Bates smiled through tears as she swiped her hand across her phone, flipping through pictures of her cousin playing around and striking goofy poses.

 

"He was a lot of fun, very good at imitating people," Bates said of Nathaniel T. Jackson, 40. "He just had so much fun all the time. And we all grew up together in the same house."

 

Jackson was standing outside a store in the Austin neighborhood around 9 p.m. Thursday when someone walked up and shot him in the head, police said. His death was the 500th homicide in Chicago this year

Those "Gun-Free" zones can be murder.....

[clearvision]

This can't be true. Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws on the books.

Well, according to my liberal friends its because they can buy them legally in Texas and import them to Chicago. So it's still Bush's fault.

In the wake of the recent Sandy Hook shooting, I reached out to my contacts in law enforcement, military and (retired) FBI over the last three days, asking three simple questions:

 

#1) Do you think Obama will use executive orders to demand nationwide gun confiscation?

 

#2) If such an order is given, will you or fellow members of your organization enforce it against the citizens? (And if so, how?)

 

#3) What is the solution to stopping future mass shootings?

 

I posed these questions to one ex-FBI agent, one retired Sheriff’s deputy, two active duty city police detectives, one retired former police captain of a major U.S. city, two U.S. Army veterans and one USMC veteran, discharged several years ago after two tours in Afghanistan during which he sustained a severe personal injury. For obvious reasons, none of them wish to be identified by name, but their answers below speak to their credibility and authenticity.

Here are their answers.

 

#1) Will Obama use Executive Order to call for gun confiscation?

 

The majority of those answering this question told me they did not believe Obama would call for outright gun confiscation. One detective told me, “Obama will probably try to roll out an incremental restriction similar to the ’94 Clinton assault weapons ban.” He would then wait for another mass shooting and use that event to ratchet up the restrictions, I was told.

Only two of the eight people I questioned thought that Obama would call for outright gun confiscation, and one of those believed it would only be a restriction on so-called “assault rifles” but not shotguns or handguns.

Everyone believed that Obama would at minimum call for restrictions on weapon magazine capacity, most likely seeking to limit that to ten rounds per magazine (which is also the current limit in California). I was also told that Obama might attempt to federalize mandatory waiting periods for gun purchases, which already exist in some states but not all.

 

#2) Will you enforce gun confiscation against the citizens?

 

On this issue, the answer was resounding and unanimous: NO!

Maybe.....like calling "suicide" bombers->"homicide" bombers....we should start calling them, "easy-kill" zones.
