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.

Oh no intention doesn't matter ?
Shame Clinton didn't get the same treatment.

MORE GUNS!!!
Arm every last man, woman and child and teach them the "Code of the West." More guns puts the correct kind of fear into people. Not the fear of being unprotected!

Are we allowed to talk about the people committing all these crimes? Can we address that or is it a no go zone?
its an economic issue. the slums used to be full of irish and italians, same result
that's what you were going for, right ?
I'm not sure if he is talking abo ut Blacks or Muslims. Or Hispanics. He is probably talking about all of them. And some he can't classify, yet throws into one of those.

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.

I just say it is easier to take guns in comparison to people.

I think the statistics and a lot of Chicago's unregistered
gun owners would disagree with that one. There's a standing
list of neighborhoods where the CPD ain't goin after dark...
there's a good reason. Most times in order to get the person's
gun you have to get the person: and almost always a bad trade.
