St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones (D) is in damage control mode after an open records request revealed private text messages in which Jones noted the ineffectiveness of gun control in cities such as Chicago.
The text messages appear to counter a pro-gun control stance Jones has publicly maintained after high profile firearm-related crimes in her city.
KSDK reported that one of the text messages was drawn from “a chat” with her father on March 21, 2023. Jones’s message noted, “Chicago has strict gun laws as well but that doesn’t deter gun violence.”
The text message is being contrasted with a statement Jones made on gun control last month, in which she said, “Our state’s lax gun laws make our challenge even more difficult. … The legislature’s lack of action on gun safety laws encourages the proliferation of guns on our streets and puts our responding officers directly in harm’s way.”
On June 3, 2022, the St. Louis Government’s website posted a proclamation from Jones, declaring June 3 as “Gun Violence Awareness Day.”
Jones used the proclamation to push universal background checks, an “assault weapons” ban, and a red flag law.

RE: Jones’s message noted, “Chicago has strict gun laws as well but that doesn’t deter gun violence.”
That coffee has been brewing for decades and this guy finally woke up and smelled it. ☕
She will be gone soon for that comment
The truth is that the motive for passing gun laws is that liberals hate gun owners even more than criminals or Republicans, and the reason they hate gun owners is because they are defiant and unapologetic. That’s it.
oh oh- Tishaura is gonna be ostracized by the left now for looking at facts and coming to a reasonable conclusion
Gun laws only keep guns out of the hands of the law abiding who need them to protect themselves from criminals who do not obey gun laws.
They will never go into the hood and confiscate guns from there.
Let’s go with what macron learned.
His police got into a war with rioters only to learn the immigrants showed up with ak47s and heavy guns.
The best thing government can do for those living in poor conditions is to make there be plenty of jobs.
It’s like chess. Government has then made its move. Then it’s time for individuals to make a move.
I heard this thought as a sermon. There it was God instead of Government.
The best thing government can do for those living in poor conditions is to RESTRICT ALL IMMIGRATION, BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL.
Yep. She stepped off the plantation.
Yes and the illegals in France are using belt fed weapons etc that were supposed to go to the Ukraine.
It’s only to help democrat’s biggest supporters , Criminals
Needs to be a bumper sticker-—
CORRECT
So, with gun control the criminals have guns while the majority are at their mercy.
Shows the value of gun control.
The criminals will control the guns and direction of society.
Here? Now? The criminals are the government. Wanna fight? I have F-16s.
Many of them don’t want those jobs. They want a welfare check. Many of them couldn’t even good jobs if offered because they couldn’t pass a drug test. Thank a Demonrat for laying waste to the Black community.
