McManus called the overall issue “America’s growing refusal to protect its citizens from violence. In its cities, that’s what the bail-reform/defund-the-police movement is all about — shielding criminals from the consequences of their actions.”
"If having a great report card on gun control prevented gun tragedies, Highland Park, Illinois, would not be trending in America this week. But it is. And voices are demanding that while the political back-and-forth over gun control plays out in Washington, someone deal with the real problems.
"As noted by Breitbart, Highland Park has its own “assault weapons” ban and is in a state that gets an A- from the Giffords Law Center for the severity of its anti-gun laws. Everytown for Gun Safety says Illinois has the sixth most stringent anti-gun laws in the nation.
"The state has a red flag law, a waiting period to buy a gun and a long train of conditions imposed on gun purchasers.". . .
“ 'Certainly all Americans have rights — but they should include the right to be protected from the armed and dangerous: Urban gangbangers and psychotic loners with rifles both. Again, there are no simple answers. But developing more respect for the power of preventive action would be a long step in the right direction.' ”. . .
