You gotta be kidding me.
LOL! "lax" gun laws?
They should read the studies by a University of Chicago professor, John Lott, who has demonstrated that states with concealed carry have lower crime levels.
Do you think the police department is going to admit they are STANDING DOWN to avoid PC CRAP or putting their jobs on the line due to the back lash from BLM !!! So they just say lax gun laws are the problem Chicago has the most stringent guns laws in the nation!!! Police are going to continue to just let them shoot each other up WHY should they even try to protect these people the thugs are the ones being protected!!! It won’t be long before the communities rise up against the thugs themselves maybe THEN the police can return to the communities and protect the people WHO WANT their protection!!!
For them, the only thing that could be possibly un-lax enough would be to be able to systematically search every household at will. The gun genie can’t be stuffed back into the American bottle. The only thing that can be done is to let reasonably honest people pack and have sane self/neighbor defense laws. If gang shooters did not dare show their faces lest they be shot back at, there would be far less of them.
