Amazon.com will not deliver a toy cowgirl playset to Chicago residents, apparently because of a municipal law in the city forbidding replica toy firearms....Violators of the law can be fined up to $750 and imprisoned for as long as six months for each offense.

IIRC from listening to the radio today is that we had 48 shot, and 11 killed by gunfire this weekend.  I do wonder what the causality rate in Mosul*
 was this weekend, simply as a comparison.



*-Where the reconstituted and re-constructed Iraqi Army (with a big assist from the ~5,500 American troops who aren't wearing boots) begin their assault to re-take the city from ISIS.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'm going to go out on a limb a bit and hazard a guess that there is an inverse correlation between numbers of cowboy/cowgirl toy gun sets sold and the number of murders in a given area.

Before we can comment knowledgeably, we need statistics on drive-by pink cap gunnings in Chicago.

I think that was one of the gangs proposed for The Warriors that didn't make the cut into the movie.

Hillary said there are bad gangs and good gangs.  Maybe the bad gangs are killing each other off with a bit of collateral damage.
