My imaginary 4 year old: if restrictions stop gun violence why is the gun crime in Chicago so high?

My imaginary 4 year old just came to me and said,

“Mommy, if gun restrictions stop gun violence, why is the gun crime rate in Chicago so high?”

I honestly have no idea how to respond.

Feel good new age woman on the radio had a kid on to say the youth are what will put an end to this violence. Funny how this is something only the young people are doing. A generation ago this never happened.

Gun control has absolutely no connection to crime-control.

Talking about people of color killing each other is racist.

This is why the MSM will not report on the people killed in Chicago this weekend.

Sweden- where everyone owns a gun- has very very low gun violence- Gee I wonder why crime is so low there?

"Your imaginary four-year-old is a racist."

No, the phrase is "white supremacist," you see. That way, only whites are guilty of it. And racism is fine, if it only comes from other ethnic groups. Don't you just love how we've been stomped by academic feminist/fruit linguistic activism for generations?

If democratic politicians are so smart how come the cities/ states they run are such disasters?

The real problem for 4 year olds will be paying off the debts of cities/states/ and the federal governments.

Really?. Answer is easy;
What makes a criminal?
Someone who breaks the law.
So what gun law will stop a criminal?

She must’ve meant to type “imaginative” because an imaginary 4-year-old is another issue altogether.

The liberal view, is that guns from Indiana are on the streets of Chicago, and Indiana is said to have much more lenient gun laws.

The southeast city limits of the city of Chicago is actually the Illinois/Indiana state line. So the story is that Indiana guns end up in Chicago

If guns are so easy to get in Indiana how come they don’t have a high crime rate?

Yes, one would believe so.
Her imaginary child; does he have an imaginary best friend?
Perhaps a large rabbit named Harvey?
