Chicago’s Great Gun “Turn In” Scam

Chicago, IL—The Windy City’s Political Gadflies will be out in force once again.  They are hosting another so-called Gun Turn In for guns, bb guns and toys. 

People once again will be enticed with immunity from arrest and gift cards to turn in virtually anything that even looks like a gun.

These events bring people in from suburban areas, Indiana and Wisconsin who are able to sell Chicago some completely unserviceable and worthless firearms.  The truth is that area firearm dealers (remember Chicago has no firearm dealers) go out of their way to collect junk to bring in for substantial profits. 

Chicago's gun-rights hating political and religious advocates will all sing and hold hands while they convince each other that they are somehow saving lives.  The problem here is there exists no data whatsoever, anywhere that can even provide a shred of empirical evidence that a single injury or death is prevented by these efforts.

One thing for sure, is that anyone wanting a serviceable weapon can use the proceeds obtained at the Gun Turn In to buy a working gun and live ammunition. 

This is not going to lower the vast numbers of senseless shootings that almost exclusively happen in Chicago’s ghettos.  This will not save lives.  This is nothing more than a very extravagant and expensive effort at symbolism over substance.

This will however cost taxpayers a bundle for media ads, manpower and the cash paid out.  We can continue to wonder how many additional burglaries and gun thefts will take place because of this heavily promoted Chicago fencing operation?

As usual, Chicago’s worthless members of the media will ask no questions or talk to nobody from the NRA or Illinois State Rifle Association.  They will never ask who pays for this fiasco or how much it really costs taxpayers.   That’s because Chicago’s media has become nothing more than public relations agencies for local incumbent Democratic political campaigns. 

Chicago’s political incumbents can always count on lots of valuable face time courtesy of local media by simply repeating the same failed and money wasting programs like the Gun Turn In. 

Chicago’s Media has Become the Public Relations Arm of Local Government

Chicago, IL—I’m going to single out WLS-TV 7, however this applies to every major news organization in the Windy City.

I want to begin with a quote from a late and great writer.  You should always keep this quote in mind when reading news stories: 

“Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.”

― George Orwell

There has been a racist war on white people primarily on Chicago’s North Loop and Gold Coast areas.  Those engaged in ongoing mob violence are exclusively young African-Americans.  The victims are exclusively white, affluent residents, visitors and tourists. 

These are the facts and the Chicago’s administration officials along with the media are well-aware of this but they are engaged in a conspiracy to hide the truth from the public.  The facts are frightening and the public should be warned.  White people need to be warned to avoid young African-Americans because their very lives depend on it.

Call them Hate Crimes or a crime trend.  Call this whatever you like but it’s real and it’s news and should be reported.  City officials and the news organizations are convinced that Chicagoans can’t handle the truth.  The media simply avoids the issue and refer to the African-America thugs as teens and teenagers even though many are adults.  It seems as if they are describing ordinary children out having fun. 

The motivation for these racial attacks is far more than theft.  This is wanton cruelty, sexual assault and worse.   These are hate crimes by blacks targeting white people.

Michelle Gallardo

I contacted two WLS-TV reporters, Evelyn Holmes and Michelle Gallardo, responsible for reporting half-truths about two of these recent attacks.  They responded back to me defending their failure.  Gallardo called informing the public about the race issues, “counter-productive.” Wow! Imagine that!

I put a call into the News Director, Jennifer Graves of WLS-TV and she has refused to return calls or comment. 

We cannot ever begin to deal with this race war without acknowledging that it even exists.  We can pretend as visitors are invited to come to the Gold Coast of an evening of good food, entertainment and fine hotels.  What they are finding is sheer horror and life saving trips to hospital emergency rooms or worse.

The police department is undermanned, demoralized and outgunned.  They can’t begin to guarantee safety for their own officers.  They can’t protect the public under present conditions.

As for Chicago’s media they have been doing a great job of public relations for Chicago’s mayors, police superintendents and assorted officials.  I understand that the news business is in trouble and the only place to go for laid off reporters is to the ranks of public information officers.  The reporters are simply too afraid to make Chicago politicians angry. 

Illinois needs to allow citizens their constitutionally protected activity to bear arms in self-defense.   People should never be denied meaningful self-help when it comes to protecting their own lives.  The police can only do so much and thugs avoid their dreadful conduct when the cops are on the scene.  As always in Chicago, there’s never a cop around when you need one.

And the WLS-TVcoverup continues with censored reports about new black mob attacks on white physicians near hospitals.
