Ms. Hillman is apparently ignorant of the fact that the majority of the gun crimes committed in Chicago are by criminals who carry concealed weapons illegally. Overturning the gun ban isn't going to change their actions. They'll still rob and murder. A gun ban has consequences for law-abiding citizens, not criminals.

Somebody didn’t pay attention to the Heller decision’s endorsing an INDIVIDUAL right to own firearms.

Sorry cop chief bubba. You lose.

“I can only speak for myself, but I would feel a lot less safe if the Chicago handgun ban is overturned. I suspect crime rates after the ban is lifted will prove me right!”

Proven wrong in states with CCW and even Washington DC’s crime rates are going down now. Such hysterical nonsense. The tide has turned against the type of thinking so hard, it’s making the liberals’ heads spin.
