Too scared? The Chicago pols own the gangs and use them to terrorize their constituents into voting them back into power year after year. Why do you think there are only two or three illegal firearms arrests / convictions each year? You really think they were the only guys illegally carrying guns in Chicago? In Illinois the only guys that go to jail are the ones that cross the mob.
The only reason Chicago wasn’t rated the most corrupt city in the U.S. is because they put the squeeze on the panel.
Now just fuggedaboutit.

You're entirely correct, infool7, but there's more to it: Chicago's so-called "youth" gangs comprise the distribution networks for the narcotics industry. One [fill in the blank] lot of money flows from the gangs to Chicago Democratic [sic] party politicians.
You’ve got it. Chicago gun control is there primarily to help the criminals. The pols who pass is are, themselves, mostly criminals. Chicago’s black gangs were and are some of Rev. JJ’s strongest supporters.
