Illegal guns get into Chicago through lone dealers, not large trafficking organizations, and that makes any legislative action taken to stop the flow totally impractical, according to Chicago police.
Police researchers say that most illegal guns come from nearby states like Indiana and Iowa after being stolen or resold by their original owners, according to a Tuesday report from the Chicago Sun Times. In this way, the trafficking of firearms is different from the trafficking of illegal substances, which relies heavily on national and even international crime organizations. As a result, the arrest of individual gun dealers does virtually nothing to stop the flow of illegal firearms.
You are a single salmon swimming upstream at Niagara Falls, Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told the Sun Times. If your policing strategy is to decrease the number of guns in your city, good luck, because there are too many guns out there. Its better to go after the person with the gun.
Police operations to take down these individual gun dealers usually take the form of sting operations and bribing street level offenders for information.

I can see a movie in the future with a mountain boy running illegal guns to Chicago, supplying items for doing the killings the Rednecks won’t do! the music starts something like this...
“Let me tell the story,
I can tell it all,
About the Mountain boy,
Who ran guns to Chica-go,
His daddy bought them local,
Son he drove the load,
And when his engine roared,
They called the highway,
THUNDER ROAD!”
Of course, the boy will be cast as AN evil southern redneck! NOT A MOUNTAIN HERO!
Now THAT would be a show worth televising ... between the law suits and the mayhem that would result, it's something that Chicago DESERVES.
I mean, after all, if it saves one child ...
Why isn’t the locales where the guns come from as violent or more violent than Chicago?
Nigerians?
Why don’t ya’ll arrest some of the shooters instead?
Because they aren’t responsible. It’s the damn guns that commit all these crimes. #onlygunviolencematters.
Stop Question Search. SQS is the most effective anti gun and shooting method out there. It works and no new laws are required. Then they need to send the violators to prison. Even BATF,ICE and FBI could be doing it.
“So, gun dealers are going to risk losing their license as well as suffer jail time? I dont believe this crap. And being from Indiana, Im tired of hearing that we supply the guns to Chicagos gangs. Thats BS”
Its already illegal to sell handguns to non residents of the state of sale.
Get Sgt. Voight on the case.
In Chicago, there have been
Homicides in 2017 (to date): 552

Homicides during the current week (10/8-10/14):5
Homicides last weekend (10/6-10/8): 9
The vast majority are black people killing other black people. It's not guns. It's a dysfunctional, irresponsible, violent culture.
Project Exile. Bring it back.

“Chicago has banned guns,”
Untrue. Google up McDonald v City of Chicago.

Indiana. Now we know what avenue they’ll use to take down Pence.
The politicians are getting paid off by the criminal gangs just like the old days of the roaring 20’s.
