I've never seen what the shooting statistics were before the firearm ban. Does anyone know? It would be interesting to know if the shootings went up, or down. Maybe the law was passed because of all of the shootings that have been going on all along. Another one of those "Look we did something!" laws.
In regard to entire countries, shootings went down.
In regard to laws passed by state or region, they went up. People would just buy next door.

That's right I Can't.
Neither can the STATE.
Neither can the STATES LAWS.
As long as the Family Unit keeps breaking down, and the state becoming mommy, and daddy, and preacher man.
There is no hope for Chicago, or the rest of this country.
STRONG, positive role models are needed for the future of this country.
Not politicians.
Not reality tv stars like the Kardashians.
Real people with REAL VALUES.
Hell there are no solutions coming forth with from POLITICIANS.

NO we only do that for socialist COUNTIRIES not socialist run American states.
LET the Demos enjoy AND SOLVE their cesspool.
Or let them minimize themselves with every failure they produce.

Here is the other crazy statistic that will blow your mind...
Chicago police chief says that most of the shooters are 15 or 16 years old. Let that sink in...
Chicago Shooters

With Chicago being one of the bluest cities in the country
Trooper, the minimizing of the population is plodding right
along without us. Gun control works! Just not at all in the
way it supports the controlloid narrative. [gags]
Personally and in the last 7 or so months being 250 miles
further away from Chi, I occasionally inhale now. But if I
see a mushrooom across the big river in Ferguson I'll U2U ya

This deserves repeating. Politicians can not fix our country. Lawmakers can not make more laws to fix our country. Executive orders will not fix our country. WE, and only WE can fix our country. In my brief time on this earth, I've yet to see anyone in the government complex have my, or my families best interest at heart.

Guess you missed the "we" part. Paying my taxes and practicing my 1st amendment as we speak!

Provide a source to substantiate your claims or deal with the notion of other members rightfully questioning everything you post.
Or, just ignore me. I don't care.

I think it would take a large number of police to sweep the area. It would need to be done often as this kind of activity happens daily. They can ban guns all day long, but someone can always find one. If they want to harm each other over drugs they will do it, whether with guns or pointed sticks. Its a turf war. I don't think there are enough police in that state to handle the issue. It would take the national guard occupying the area for a while. Its is a war zone.
Then they need to go to war in that zone first thing would be to drug test all benefit claimants for drugs and use cell phone stingers to get info on the dealers who are causing all this madness in the first place .
Stop and search everything going into a bad hood backed up by the national guard and see what it is like in say 3-6 months
But maybe Chaos is the order of the day in Chicago
