If a gun shop does a lousy job of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, police officers shouldnt buy their guns from those shops.
If a gun-maker allows its guns to be sold at those lousy shops, the police shouldnt buy those makes of guns.
And if a gun manufacturer does a lousy job of making guns that are childproof and useless to thieves, the cops should pass on buying those guns, too.

> Ive never understood how punishing the law abiding for the acts of the criminal reduces crime. > The paragraph that should be chiseled into the entrance of EVERY govt agency/dept and printed as the 2nd page of every text/bill/law/report/etc. from the same: Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with. ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Gun makers could help by offering guns at cost to legal gun owners so they can arm themselves to defend against the animals roaming the city killing people.

Remember the Middle Ages bans on deer hunting arrows and crossbows? How’d that work out for them.
In ancient Greece, even a poor beggar was allowed to carry a spear.

Because the Chicago politicians get their money from the Mob and the Mob makes its money from crime, the crime in Chicago will never cease.

IF they don’t use guns, it will be baseball bats & knives.
Criminals are CRIMINALS. They need to pay the price for their behavior.

Must be a typo. Chicago cant have gun violence. They have strict gun control.

Maybe you can do a meme for:
Participating in a gun buyback program to reduce gun violence is like having a vasectomy because your neighbor has too many children.

The guns aren’t the problem it’s a cultural problem within certain demographics.

Does it ever occur to these idiots — along with the anti-Constitutionality of confiscating rights — that putting gun manufacturers out of business harms our security? Where do they think the military gets their guns from? The government gun fairy?
