Who doesn't get shot in Chicago? I'd be surprised if a cyclist didn't get shot.


You have a good point the

Chicago has among the most restrictive sets of anti-firearm
legislation in the country. How's that working out?


Well, as everyone knows, if you make a law against something people
will stop doing it.

There are many examples in U.S. history. The Volstead Act comes to
mind here as a particularly effective example of this.


This was very odd - most of the people of the world normally drank something alcoholic with dinner. To interfere with that only could have been attempted by some sort of insane congress.


Oh, if that were the end of it! The Volstead Act was bad
enough but it was merely statutory codification of the 18th
Amendment. The necessary 3/5 of State legislatures jumped on
that miserable bandwagon.

Ah but the 18th amendment was ratified by 46/48 states.
