Gun control or lack thereof, has no bearing on crime statistics. It is the available number of criminals in a given area that drives crime, not guns, not laws.

I guess Rahm will be pleading for more gun control since they don’t have very effective laws now.

My first take was that criminals killing criminals can’t be *all* bad, and might even result in a decline in the number of criminals.

Then it occurred to me that one male thug can impregnate large numbers of slum sluts.

Fifty four Chi-congo residents killed in August!

Chi-congo can do better.

And doubtlessly will.
