Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot stated that the uptick in crime during the past weekend “is just an unacceptable state of affairs.”
She added “I certainly knew that before, but to see it graphically depicted is quite shocking and says that we’ve got a long way to go as a city. This is not a law enforcement-only challenge. It’s a challenge for all of us in city government. It’s a challenge for us in communities to dig down deeper and ask ourselves what we can do to step up to stem the violence.”
The Chicago Mayor made it clear that gun violence is not a form of conflict resolution. “For those who think it is, we can give them no quarter, they can have no sanctuary in our city. We’ve got to make sure we flood these areas with a lot more resources.”
Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson announced that a new program to put the clamps on illegal gun trafficking had been enacted.
Despite having some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation, Chicago remains one of the most violent urban centers in America.

White Pill: Montana House Moves Constitutional Carry Bill Forward
Constitutional Carry is one ray of hope for the Right.
On January 20, 2021, the Montana House of Representatives passed Constitutional Carry legislation, HB102.
Dean Weingarten of Ammoland.com reported that the bill passed by a 66 to 31 margin.
Weingarten provided some context to the significance of this bill’s progress:
The bill is the accumulation of a decade and a half of struggle against Democrat Governors, who have repeatedly vetoed reform legislation passed with large majorities in the legislature. Numerous sections in the bill show the Montana legislature has learned the lesson from other states as they restore the right to keep and bear arms.
Montana’s Senate is made up of 31 Republicans and 19 Democrats and Governor Greg Gianforte is a Republican, so the passage of this bill augurs well. If passed, HB102 would make Montana the 17th Constitutional Carry state.
Montana is already a very gun-friendly state, and represents a low-hanging fruit for Second Amendment activists to tap into.
Constitutional Carry has been one of the most successful movements on the Right over the past twenty years. It’s easy to complain about the corrupt status quo, but there are still plenty of ways right-wingers can score victories. Constitutional Carry is one of them.
It would behoove the Right to analyze existing trends and build off movements that are already producing results. There’s no need to embark on quixotic campaigns that end up being total fools’ errands. Find what’s already working and run with it.
