Chicago Police Chief Calls for Nationwide Assault Weapon and High-Capacity Magazine Ban
Townhall ^ | September 21, 2013 | Christine Rousselle

On Thursday, 13 people were shot and injured in a park in Chicago. The shootings were carried out by an “assault style rifle” with a high-capacity magazine, both of which are already banned in the city of Chicago. Nevertheless, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry F. McCarthy has called for a nationwide ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

“Illegal guns drive violence. Military-type weapons, like the one we believe to have been used in this shooting, belong on a battlefield, not on a street or in a corner or in a park.”

Chicago was named the murder capital of the United States by the FBI on Thursday, and has had more homicides this month than several states yearly total for 2011.

“Illegal guns drive violence”

So let’s make more guns illegal and we’ll have more violence. Brilliant!

He can call all he wants. He isn’t getting it.

Interesting how he’s spending time blaming guns rather than focusing on his own incompetence in reducing the number of murders in ChIraq.

How about a nationwide gang-banger ban?

More death in Chigago than Iraq last year.

Chicago is a battlefield.

LOL!

The rest of the nation is doing pretty well outside of Detroit, Chicago, and Newark.

Maybe Chicago just has crappy police...or crappy politicians...or crappy laws that subsidize the poor for remaining living inside mass crime zones.

Eliminate Section 8 housing, EBT cards, and single mother benefits and watch how fast people move out of those crime zones.

“Illegal guns drive violence.

So you want to ban legal guns owned by non criminals. Smart thinking.

Military-type weapons, like the one we believe to have been used in this shooting, belong on a battlefield, not on a street or in a corner or in a park.”

Well dumb ass, Chicago is a battlefield. Thanks to you and the Democrats you serve.

Duh, don’t you, Chief Garry, ALREADY have such a ban in Chicago?

BTW, won’t the drug gangs have to pay more for the black-market (no pun intended) AR-15s?

Guess that means that the drug gangs will have to sell more drugs to the white-collar yuppies.

And yet his uniformed thugs are issued them, for use on the street,or in a corner or in a park.

knowing full well all those guns hanging out in a "corner" are up to something bad...... MORON
