“As President Obama has pointed out, that isn’t a failing of the city’s gun laws. The problem is that most of the guns used in crimes in Chicago come from neighboring states with lax gun laws.”
You’d be surprise how many people I gun down in the street due to lax gun laws in my neighboring states. One of my neighboring states is Wyoming so let’s see, how many people have I gunned down out in the street? Oh yeah, ZERO. I guess maybe there is something else, something other than gun laws that determines whether I commit crimes.
Granted, it’s not a failing of state or Federal gun laws. All Obola and Rahm need to do is actually enforce those laws by prosecuting and incarcerating any gang banger who’s caught illegally possessing a gun. Rudy did that and massively cut the NYC murder rate, regardless of other state’s gun laws.
