2nd Amendment steps in after cops step back in wake of defund movement in Chicago
Gun sales exploded across the country in 2020 during the pandemic's lockdowns and when riots spread across the nation
An 80-year-old man living near Chicago's O’Hare airport was left "​​battered" late last month when two intruders knocked on his door and entered his home.

The elderly man was a legal gun owner and managed to fire off a shot, hitting one intruder and sending the other running for cover.

The incident is one of dozens that have played out in the Windy City in recent years. Legally armed citizens are taking matters into their own hands, thwarting attacks and other crimes.


Tammany Hall mob boss Big Tim Sullivan pushed through NY's Sullivan Act because his Irish gangsters were tired of having their intended victims shoot back.

Some things never change.
