I saw in this newspaper a Tesla dealership is scheduled to be built in Orland Park. Well, seeing the crime situation at the other dealerships in the suburban area, an electrified fence like in “Jurassic Park” might be needed to deter thieves. Or maybe a 20-foot moat stocked with alligators.

How come Richard Irvin ads now include a roundtable of all white people? How come there are no Blacks on there? Is he going for the white vote or no votes?

Hey Marv, Democrat media cares about assault rifles. Americans care about gas prices. And media promote the right to choose narrative. Real Americans care about the baby formula shortage.

What I don’t understand about the all these automatic weapons being sold now, the AR-15s, when Tommy guns were outlawed that were widely used in the ’20s and ’30s. What’s the difference between a Tommy gun and the AR-15s?

The bogus Jan. 6 TV hearing sham should start with Ned Locke shouting out to the public, Bozo’s Circus is on the air. However, this would be a tremendous knock and disrespectful to the late, great Bob Bell and the Bozo the Clown franchise.

To YCM of Orland Park, maybe you’re not going to downtown Chicago, but I assure you there are still plenty of people that are visiting Chicago. Recently, I took my lunch hour at Cloud Gate (The Bean) and there were hundreds of people there, many with accents from not only all over our country but all over the world.

Living in America today means your chances of getting shot and killed are very high. Our citizens agree, we need gun safety laws. Some politicians, most specifically Republicans, aren’t interested in laws to keep us or our children safe. Any legislators who votes against gun safety is an accomplice to the killer who pulls the trigger.

When the government takes the guns away the criminals will replace them with machetes and hatchets.
