Last weekend in Chicago was a bloody one. According to reports, between Friday evening and Monday morning, fifty-two people were shot, nine of whom died.
Wait a second . . .
Chicago has some of the strictest gun control in the nation, right? So there shouldn’t be this many gun-related deaths. At least that’s how things should be according to liberal logic. With an “assault weapons” ban, a “violence tax” and state-imposed waiting periods on guns and strict regulations on the stores that sell them, Chicago should be the safest city in the country.
Wrong!
What was it that Dianne Feinstein said? Something about how turning in your weapons and banning guns will keep criminals from committing crimes involving guns. With four months still left in the year, and the homicide rate already past ninety percent of what it was last year, gun control clearly isn’t working.
The Tribune reported on the gun deaths in the city. See what they had to say over on the next page.
GUN CONTROL IS AN INTENT FOR MINIMIZING THE KILLING, OR YOU GOT ANY BETTER IDEA?
Indiana had great sales
heck it has more homicides than the warzones overseas!
Joseph and Daniel, Google stopping crime, New York city, Rudy Giuliani and David Dinkins, the resulting links should provide you with most details.
They are not sold to just anyone stupid. . We buy them legally and the thugs steal them .. if you buy a gun in a store in this country it’s legal and registered it’s been that way for years. . Only bad people comit crimes with guns .. so you voted against guns now your helpless against these monsters. .. lmao .. sorry but I don’t feel sorry for you .. you did this to yourself. .
Vicente Lucio that is the point of the article. If the intention is to minimize killing gun control does not work as proven by the strict controls that are already in place in Chicago it in fact has the exact opposite effect . If you want less killing let the public arm and protect themselves against the criminal elements in society.
I got a better idea , stop treating law abiding citizens like criminals and taking away thier right to carry and let them protect their self and maybe shoot a few of these thugs !!!
I wouldn’t live in a place that said I didn’t have the right to protect myself and my family and if I did I would have a gun no matter what the law said
Perhaps they should stop infringing on people’s rights and let them protect their self
Definitely. I think “stop and frisk” was appropriate too.
