Did you read the stats about the guns recovered by the Chicago police?

Forty three percent of the guns seized by law enforcement in Chicago were originally purchased in other parts of Illinois. And even if the state had stricter gun laws, Illinois is not an island either. The remaining fifty seven percent of Chicago guns all came from out of state, most significantly from nearby Indiana and distant Mississippi.


100% of the crime guns used/seized came from outside of Chicago. Other studies have shown that in places where there are sensible gun regulations in place, crime guns come from places where gun laws are lax. Gun laws DO work, but people like you gunners just have to help the right-wing flood our streets with more and more guns, because you believe that everybody should have, or wants, fucking guns.
