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.

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.

Perfectly stated.

Perfectly stated, yet totally false.

After the McDonald v. City of Chicago Supreme Court ruling in 2010 (that overturned Chicago's ban on handguns,) and the 7th Circuit ruling in Moore v. Madigan (which forced Illinois to adopt a must issue concealed carry licensing scheme,) Chicago's gun laws are no more strict than most of the rest of the country.

Prostitution is illegal and the pimps flourish.
When gambling was illegal, the bookies flourished.
When alcohol was illegal, the bootleggers flourished.
Drugs are and have been illegal and the drug dealers flourish.
If guns are made illegal, the arms dealers will flourish even more.

There is a simple answer that most Conservatives don’t want to hear.

Yes, it is true that gun regulations IN CHICAGO have not had an impact on gun related violence in Chicago. That is because it is easy to illegally obtain guns in or more so outside of Chicago, as well as to legally obtain guns under more relaxed gun laws outside of Chicago, but not so far away from Chicago.

Might more stringent guns laws in neighboring Indiana for instance make for fewer guns entering the violent social landscape of Chicago? Theory can only say “maybe” but the theory cannot be tested.

And if Indiana did that, would the demand for guns from Chicago just go further afield to get them. That also is very possible.

I think just like “illegal” drugs, gun violence is a problem of “cleaning up” the people willing to commit gun violence, more than “cleaning up” the guns, just as cleaning up illegal drugs will require “cleaning up” the addicts and from them the demand for the illegal drugs. BOTH of those things are social problems that require multi-pronged approaches and NEVER make progress without masses of perpetrators changing their lives, and with that change changing their hearts.

Some years ago, when my visiting granddaughter was 10, she saw me cleaning my Ruger 10/22.

“Ooh ooh , a GUN!” she exclaimed.

I laid the gun on the floor and told her “Let’s watch and see how long it takes before it gets up and shoots someone”.

“That’s silly, grampa, it’s not alive.”

Out of the mouths of babes.

Because people bring in the Guns from the surrounding Communities silly.

You know, the Communities who don’t have near the so called Gun Violence that Chicago has.

Wait, what? Never mind.

Red flag law will also have them take your car keys. Why guns and not people mowing down others or slashing

This is the most stupid knee jerker legislation yet
