Fairness leads to extinction much faster than harsh parameters.
Ugh.

Well this sucks.

This does not bode well for Illinois gun owners, no matter the facts of the case - Brad Schneider is a hard core anti, and Illinois already has local rifle restrictions on the books that will likely be allowed to expand. (They were locked down as a part of the CCW deal.)

Dude on a rooftop shooting is a parade is not your normal Chicago violence.

He remained at large as of Monday afternoon.
Seeing unconfirmed reports that the shooter left an assault rifle behind on the roof.
There has been a lot of anti-July 4/anti-Independence Day rhetoric coming from the left in relation to the recent supreme court decision on Roe v. Wade

As bad as it seems, mass shootings are actually down this year but still at record levels
The United States logged 306 mass shootings with at least four injuries or deaths from the start of this year to Sunday, compared to 327 mass shootings over the same period in 2021 and 256 in 2020, according to the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive.
Mass shootings this year are on track to approach the 692 recorded in 2021, which was the highest figure since the Gun Violence Archive started tracking shootings in 2014.
Some 10,072 people nationwide have died due to firearms—including intentional and accidental killings but not suicides—so far in 2022, according to the Gun Violence Archive, meaning this year’s overall figure could near 2021’s 20,944 deaths (a seven-year high) and exceed 2020’s 19,518 deaths if the current pace continues.
Meanwhile, gun sales have begun easing: U.S. dealers sold about 8.8 million guns in the first six months of this year, a 16% drop from the same period in 2021 and a 21% drop from 2020, when a public health crisis and an election helped push sales to record levels, according to Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting.
Firearm sales are still well above pre-pandemic levels: Purchases in the first half of this year are up 33% from 2019 and up 27% from 2018, according to figures from Small Arms Analytics, which estimates gun sales using FBI background check data. Forbes
In the P-F basket of deplorables.
AssholeSuspect’s name and vehicle identified just now. 22 year old, “From the area”. Still on the loose.
Wonder what this pile of human garbage excuse will be. There is a problem in the USA but it’s not a lack of guns or too many guns issue. It’s , at least in part, a lack of moral decency and too much victim mentality .
I believe that a Highland Park resident challenged IL AR ban or something like it years back and lost.
