These guns are NOT “illegal.” They are undocumented. And deserving of sympathy, compassion, and welfare benefits.

If these guns are illegals, should not they be given sanctuary and a lawyer. Also should not the expense of resettling them with other guns be covered by the federal government. I personally am willing to adopt and provide a good home to any guns that need a good home. Regardless of past history or national origin.

“How about Chicago’s feral population?”

Suppose it would be racist to ask the relationship between BASTARDY and crime with guns ?......Nah...

Guns should be viewed as an implement or tool.The direction is always towards blaming the tools used. Not to identifying, prosecuting, and offering meaningless punishment of the user which would discourage using such tools. Like death or life imprisonment.

The problem is the culture of the demographic of the area. It’s easier to blame guns than admit the true root of the problem. Culture matters.

A buy-back in June brought in hundreds of firearms . . . mark a milestone: Police in the 6th District had recovered their 1,000th gun this year

They are buying back and "recovering" firearms that were never theirs. The DoubleSpeak is strong in today's far-left fringe.

Give them out to every gang member and wannabe. Schedule the great cleansing for 2 pm tomorrow. Perhaps Chicago can then get back to civilization.

Just imagine if those terrorizing guns were joined by some horrifying plants … the results could be dramatic!

I tend to think that the guns aren’t illegal, but maybe the owners are.

Guns ARE tools. No two ways about it.

Liberals complain that the reason there is so much “gun violence” in Chicago is because of all the Guns coming in from outside Chicago.

Nobody asks why there isn’t the same level of “gun violence” in the places these Guns supposedly come from.
