Chicago already has among the nation's strictest gun-control laws in response to the perpetual violence in the city's West Side and South Side minority neighborhoods.
But Mayor Lori Lightfoot contends the way to handle the recent increase in shootings and deaths is even more gun control.
On Wednesday she was reacting to President Trump's warning that the federal government may intervene in Democratic-run cities where the violence is only getting worse amid the unrest in response to the death of George Floyd, the Chicago Tribune reported.
"If the president was really committed to helping us deal with our violence, he would do some easy things," the mayor said. "What he would push for is universal background checks, he would push for an assault weapons ban, he would push to make sure that people who are banned from getting on airplanes can’t get guns."

Shut up, you gay toad.
Wait. What? She wants to ban criminals from getting guns?
Crazy talk.
Just when you think Rahm was as low as they could go, they prove us wrong.
This woman is certifiable.
Trying to deflect when these murders are on HER, on HER watch:
From “Hey Jackass”
Chicago:
Shot & Killed: 366
Shot & Wounded: 1657
Total Shot: 2023
Total Homicides: 401
That woman is stupid....................
Its the Mayor’s city. Get off your ass, give back the kickbacks and do your friggen job.
Her re-election numbers will be quite impressive, I am sure.
"Mayor, here is the "gun control" the Federal Gov't is willing to bring to Chicago.
Will will deploy National Guard forces and Federal Marshalls to disarm the criminals on the streets of Chicago.
We will incarcerate the criminals in Federal facilities so that you and the enablers in your city don't release them back onto the streets."
"Please note, this may impact the kickbacks from the gang leaders to Chicago politicians."
If she is serious about reducing gun violence (and she’s not) she would issue a firearm to every mother in the city, along with ammunition and training, free of charge and tell them if they’re tired of seeing their babies shot down like feral hogs then it’s up to them to stop the violence.
...universal background checks and an assault weapons ban....
wow....! that’ll stop those thugs from getting their guns!!
and can she even define what an “assault weapon” is....??
I believe my cat has more common sense than this pathetic excuse for a mayor.....
The real cure is for Trump to put a bounty on all the liberal politicians heads with a promise of a pardon as well!
Why wrote laws if there are no police to enforce them?
The only people who can possibly think that's a good idea are idiots and criminals ... which describes Demonrats perfectly.
Gun control laws are as effective at disarming criminals as the 5-Second Rule is at preventing germs on your food.
They’ll just move to Machetes
Bitch looks like gollum
Just more PROOF Liberalism = EPIC STUPIDITY!!!
Brilliant idea! It’s a well known fact that criminals obey the law.
If the problem were the guns, areas with higher levels of gun ownership would have more violence. Like Montana.
No, the problem isn't the guns, it's the lefty policies...and the punks they produce.
