Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot rejects claims gun control has failed her city and instead blames states without as many gun laws.
In an interview posted by New This News only days removed from a weekend in which 41 were shot, nine fatally, in Chicago, Lightfoot blamed Chicago’s gun crime on Indiana. She described Indiana’s laws as too lax, and suggested the laws allow criminals to travel out of state, acquire guns, then return and use those guns criminally on the streets of Chicago.
Lightfoot then suggested more federal gun control is the central solution for Chicago gun crime, that universal background checks must be enacted from the top down.
Mexico has top-down gun control. The country has universal background checks and one gun store, and CBS News reports the store is the “one place in all of Mexico where you can legally buy a gun.” Despite these things, Mexico witnesses 94 firearm homicides a day compared with the 30 to 33 firearm homicides daily in the U.S.

It is an unmitigated disaster in Chicago. She is on crack.
I don’t think we are allowed to ask such questions.
Yep. It’s not the guns. It’s the people.
Lori Lightweight is a blithering idiot (and a liar).
Mayor Lori Lightfoot: Gun Control Hasn’t Failed Chicago>>>>>>>>>>>
Buhahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!
She is too licked up to know the difference.
The 2nd amendment has NEVER failed America. Doesn’t matter how you lick whatever pie.
In the DemocRats’ socialist utopia you aren’t.
Stop making sense. It confuses Liberals.
Hate to break the news to you Lori, but it’s your people that have failed.
Democrats have failed Chicago.
Herding people into ghettos and providing their every need is what is failing them. Notice I said need, not desire. The government can only supply you with just enough to get by and imprisons you into a cycle of poverty without hope for a better life.
Lori Lightfoot failed Chicago
Glad she pointed that out
Holding up Me-heco as an example of gun control that works is not a real good idea.
Common sense for Chitown? U R wasting yer time n effort.
My suggestion to Chicago is criminal control.
The level of gun control has little to no impact on crime. It is the number of available criminals a location has that dictates the level of crime.
Should be named Lightloafer.
Isn’t it already illegal to kill people?
You can’t fix stupid.
Does anyone rational really think there's a steady stream of Chicago criminals cycling between Indiana and the hood with legally purchased guns? It isn't even a good story.
