If Illinois residents are concerned about gun violence they should vote for people who will put violent offenders behind bars where they belong. Instead they vote for Kim Foxx.

It’s only Cook County residents and knowing what I know now about 2020 elections, I have serious doubts about the legitimacy of her primary win.

Guess it is because of the mayor who thinks that violence has gone down. Blinders.

I don’t express concern over ‘gun violence’. My guns sit in my safe and only get used at the range.

I’m concerned about ‘gang violence’ and illegal gun usage. But the gun committing violence on it’s own I’m not concerned about.
