    I never read an aritical so full of Bull Cr-P in my whole life.
    it would take several chain guns firing 24 hr. to pile up that many casings.
    This has to be written my another gun control Pr-ck.
    Tell people why we need more gun control like Chicago has.

    Priceless...

    “Man, it’s brutal out there,” said Paul Bergeron, 34, a resident of the Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side, showing reporters where plows had piled up over nine feet of empty casings in the parking lot of the grocery store across from his apartment. “I ran out to Walgreens, and on my way back, I nearly took a spill trudging through all the .40-caliber shells—I just wanted to get home as quickly as possible.”

    “Growing up in Kansas, I never saw anything nearly like this, but it is what it is,” he continued. “When you’re living here, you learn to deal with the bullets and adjust your life accordingly.”

    Seriously, though. If I saw that much brass, I would have a stroke. You would just see me out there with duffel bags and 55 gal drums just shoveling it all in.

    Hey, woobie, you don't even own a 10mm. "Yeah, but I might someday."

    You don't have a way to reload rimfire, why are you picking that up? "I don't care! I'm keeping everything."

    The whole story is good, however this is my favorite part:

    “The plows always seem to get to the rich neighborhoods first, that’s for sure,” said Gloria Hawkins, 53, a lifelong resident of the South Side community of Auburn Gresham. “Down here, you have no choice but to go out there into the ammo and shovel your car out yourself. It can be pretty frustrating when things are really bad out, because by the time you finish clearing the walk in front of your house, there’s already an inch or two of fresh bullet casings piling up where you started.”

    Yeah, I really liked that one as well. The one glaring omission in the article was no complaints about mailboxes being knocked over by plow trucks.

    Dream come true for a hand loader like myself. Worth risking getting shot to go load up on brass. Heck you could even empty some brass while you are there. Double win!
