Gun Control & RKBA

(17,502 posts)about your city government's mutually beneficial relationships with the drug gangs. I suggest you read it. As for "lax gun laws in Indiana", it is complete horse shit just like the logical fallacies and the card stacking and well poisoning. There is zero evidence to support the claim and the politicians, many of which are criminals themselves, are lying sacks of shit. They tell that bullshit to distract the people from the fact that Chicago politicians (well shit, the whole state) are just as sleazy and corrupt as the days of Capone.
A street pistol can be purchased for as little as fifty bucks, why would anyone risk decades of prison for such a financial loss on each gun?
Me as in "the evil gun lobby" or those Wyoming hicks your politicians blame for your gang problem. I don't blame your city government for Indiana's laws. I blame your city government for being corrupt fucks that coddle and protect the gangs from the cops for their own benefit.

Not that Chicago is unique

Do I think Yee is unique? No, I don't. You know the odd thing is? I have yet to see a gun control group condemn him. The only thing I saw, IIRC it was Cease Fire, that said that it was sad to "lose an important ally".
Your gangs, politicians, your school system that doesn't give two shit about graduating kids that can't read as long as the graft is passed out, are responsible for the murder problem, not Indiana, or anyone else.
