Prosecutors say Michael Arquero was acting in self-defense when he fired back at a drive-by shooter last month outside a taco stand in Humboldt Park. He will not face charges related to the car driver's death. "I would consider him a good guy with a gun," one of his friends told the Tribune. "There's the bad guys with guns, and he's a good guy with a gun."
We don't know if Arquero is a good guy with a gun or a bad guy with a gun, but this much we know: He should not have had a gun in the first place. He is a convicted felon, and felons aren't allowed to buy or possess a gun in Illinois. So how did he get one? |

Really?
How about this, criminals or anyone who wants a firearm will get one...fingerprints or not.
It's not the gun morons, it's the CRIMINAL.
Just like cars do not drive around by themselves drunk and causing accidents, injuries and deaths.
People that buy this **** are too stupid to be allowed to procreate!! |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
