We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Where was your virtue signaling for the oh I don’t know, last decade of shootings in Chicago.

The opinion of a gun-grabbing Brit especially on Independence Day reminds of the big F U we gave to King George III

the best you have is to virtue signal about your right to bear arms when the majority people that are really using that right to unleash the arms are the ones slaughtering innocents while criminals kill each other with illegal guns.

Highland Park is not Chicago. It’s a suburb that is not in the same county as Chicago. Thoughts and prayers to those in Highland Park. Knew people there and glad to know all of them are safe

There are multiple times as many lives saved by guns than taken. Self-defense is a god-given right whether you like it or not. We stopped listening to you Brits in 1776 on our domestic policy.

It’s practically Chicago in my books. But if you want to look at Chicago proper, another 30 people or so were shot. Nobody gives a rat’s ass about those people. Democrats sure as hell don’t.

That is because the US government is too chickenshit to actually do the sting operations required to remove guns from the people, mind you a near-majority of the people are too foolish to understand the simple solution to stop the massacres, the rest have just lost hope.

My thoughts and prayers go to the victims who would vote for a gun ban in US and are denied access to the idea because of an outdated amendment that literally is enabling domestic terrorism.

I fully support stop and frisk like the Giuliani mayorship did in NYC. You support that? It sure would clean up a lot of illegal guns

There is no way stop and frisk can work as long as people think it's racist to take guns away from the cultures that use them to commit harm

No, the issue is deeper than that and this would continually encourage webs of dealers and suppliers encasing themselves in bodyshields and mules.

I want regular undercover workers, using taxpayer's money on a nationwide campaign to rid America of guns in the hands of civilians, yes 'illegal guns' first and then once it's proven effective, legal guns too.
