It’s the number of criminals, not guns that drive crime rates.

Yeah rahm, how’s that gun control working out for you? The gangbangers and druglords don’t seem to be going along with your plan. Oh well, your dumb ass disarmed all of the law-abiding citizens, so I guess you’re responsible for all the deaths of the innocent bystanders caught up in your self imposed crime wave.

I’m sorry but that’s just not possible. There are no guns in Chicago.

Listen online:

“The History of Chicago Gun Confiscation.”

Think the government can’t confiscate guns? Think again and join David and Tim as they explore “The History of Chicago Gun Confiscation.” This week’s guests are Wayne Wiberg, Allen Jaglowski and Ed Ronkowski. Wiberg, a retired Chicago police Commander was on Chicago’s “Gun Team” dedicated to taking guns from Chicago citizens. Jaglowski, a retired Chicago P.D. detective, was assigned to the Area Four Violent Crimes unit and Ronkowski is a retired Cook County Assistant States Attorney.
