“Well, I think it’s amazing that we’re having all this discussion about gun control: The president’s hometown, Chicago, is the murder capital of the United States. Over 500 people were killed there last year. Vice President Biden doesn’t seem to want to go there. I’m trying to get the House Republicans to hold hearings there. It’s illegal to have all the guns that are killing people in Chicago. If gun control works, Chicago ought to be safe.”

** Zing** The morning show hosts immediately ended the conversation.

Gun control did not work in DC and they have stricked gun control. When I lived in DC, there was a shoot out almost on daily basis. When I was on peacekeeping duty in Bosnia, those of us who worked in DC said, it is safer much safer in Bosnia then on the streets of DC. That is no joke. It was easier to deal with Serbs and Croats then many people in DC.
