So they are admitting - it all goes back to criminal activity.

Yet these same people will turn around and try to use this to justify additional "gun control" laws. Hello, anyone home upstairs? This story opens up with a criminal act - that's what criminals do by definition, break laws. Enacting more laws will not deter someone who has already demonstrated a callous disregard for the law.

How about we focus on the law enforcement failures in Chicago - where apparently in 26 different criminal acts the perpetrator(s) were able to continue to use the same tools before only getting caught after the 27th.

The obvious solution to this Chicago buffoons is the same as they've been trying to pitch for forty years - we can only be 'safe' if we extend our oppressive reach to every source of firearms in surrounding counties/states/nationwide. Because of their cr*p city and its crime problems, every citizen must lose their rights.

Trying to put this off on innocent citizens and depriving them of their rights is typical of why they have such a rampant crime problem. They have no idea how to deal with it effectively.

Ban all firearms in the United States, and the criminal element will still find ways to arm up, with dire result on the now disarmed populace. They can smuggle any amount of drugs they want now - firearms will be easy.
