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 Chicagos gun crime on Indiana. She described Indianas 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.

Very true.
I wonder if they ever recovered all those ARs that were stolen out of a container train on the south side a few years ago....
Mayor Lightfoot is a racist.
Chicago really doesn’t have a gun problem. The real problem is that they don’t have enough ammo distribution. Most of the people getting shot and dying are themselves criminals. So it all depends on how you look at it. If a drug dealer or a gang banger kills another drug dealer or gang banger I see it as a violent crime that yields a reduction in future crimes. Its almost like an advance death penalty. Chicago needs more Ammo.
Mayor Groot is beyond clueless. Her brainwaves flatlined years ago.
She's right, Chicago's draconian gun control laws
have been successfully getting democrat politicians elected
into all levels of city, municipal and state government.
for the last 90 years.

Right, and Chelsea Clinton’s husband didn’t fail his hedge-fund.
