Blame The NRA

I posed a question to Her Majesty this morning. She usually has a different take than I on subjects so I wanted her opinion. The question was, why is it Illinois and Chicago especially has the strictest gun control laws in the country yet the media ignores the massive amount of shootings and murders in the City on a weekly basis? She gave me an answer quite unusual? I don't know, she said.

In the Virginia Beach killings Democrats, Ilhan Omar especially, blameed the NRA. Why can't the Chicago killings also be blamed on the NRA?


At least 52 people were shot, eight of them fatally, across Chicago over the weekend, the most violent of the year as summer gets underway, with a toll even higher than during the long Memorial Day holiday just a week earlier.

One could say the Chicago killings are a form of racial discrimination. It seems we, our pols, tend to ignore the big issues. For instance, the opioid crisis is the worst social ill in the country yet little or nothing is being done about it. The same goes for gun killings in The Land of Lincoln. 

Could it be these issues don't fit and agenda. Ask Joe Biden. While in Columbus, Ohio this week speaking before a group of LGBTQ folks he stated their equality would be his number one priority as president. Hmmm!
