Discuss Chicago’s gun problem with law enforcement professionals or any other smart person devoted to keeping the flow of lethal weapons off this city’s streets, and you’ll invariably hear one word: Indiana.
That’s because gun stores in the Hoosier State are a prime source for many of the weapons that eventually end up as part of homicides and other violent crimes in Chicago. In 2021, Chicago filed a lawsuit against a northern Indiana gun store, claiming more than 850 illegal firearms recovered in Chicago could be traced back to a single gun shop in Gary, an establishment that the city alleged ignored the clear signs of so-called straw purchases.

How many gang-bangers have a carry permit? Just asking.
They can’t blame their favorite color criminals, so it’s always point elsewhere.
Worry about your own state RATS. Fix your problems and leave Indiana alone.
Oh, the old “You can by bazookas and anti aircraft cannons at Indiana gun shows with no background checks.” lie eh?
What are the clear signs of a straw purchaser?
I think the editor should reprimand or fire the author of that article, but I am sure it won't happen since only the Mayor's *#$& is big enough to do it.
So typical of democrats. They refuse to really address the root cause of a problem they created through their policies, but then blame someone else for the results.
Yep. The White man’s burden.
Why do Indiana guns only cause problems in Chicago and not in Indiana?
This again. Constitutional carry in Indiana brings guns to Chicago? Uh...nope.
Indiana’s guns fire themselves!
Who knew!
They have been blaming Indiana guns for 10-15 years or more.
Yeah, I can’t comprehend the mental gymnastics and twisted logic necessary to connect the dots between Constitutional carry in Indiana and illegal firearms in Chicago. That must be some Olympic level mental gymnastics.
Young black thugs are the problem. Not guns.
To be fair, Indianapolis is a sh*thole too that seems to want to give Chicago a run for it’s money.
I as going to write that these Tribune writers never learn— disarming Americans leaves us defenseless like sitting pigeons in a wolf den
But the Tribune writers obviously know — and want— this. All the better to impose (or in the case of Illinois and Chicago) keep people afraid and dependent on the politicians
Commies? Sure. Some Nazis too? Absolutely. The politicians trying to deprive Americans citizens of our liberty need to be retired from office ASAP
Find a way to prevent Chicago from exporting its' criminals to Indy?
