You also cleverly ignore the fact that a Chicago (or any out of state)
resident buying a handgun in Indiana is already a violation of federal
law. Both the buyer and the seller could do federal prison time.
Carrying that gun back across state lines is also a federal law
violation along with whatever Illinois and Chicago laws they are
breaking.
Do you really thing that "just one more law" is going to make any
difference at all?
I know you just want to do something so you can say you hope that will
make it better.
Why not just pray? The effect will be the same and it only seems that
way to a true believer.

Ahhh...the Fretwell solution to every serious problem...do nothing and
hope it works.

The FOAD solution. Do the same thing, add som more laws, which are make no
difference. Do the same thing and hope for a difference. Sad, you are
so biased and ignorant.

It is interesting that when Giuliani and Bratton actually came up with
something that did have a dramatic effect on violent crime, he ****s
on it and cries "racism".
What could be more racist than not doing all you can to stop the crime
that makes the streets of Chicago or Baltimore more dangerous for a
young black man than serving in Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria?

There are legit studies that show no real impact of "stop and frisk."
Easy enough to find them. Guiliani was and is a right-wing pig.

You can find "studies" that say the earth is flat and that the planet
is cooling. So what?
How many illegal guns did they get off the street? What happened to
the murder rate during the Rudy and Mike administrations?

BTW is Bloomberg a right wing pig too.

You have carefully researched data that proves what you are claiming was
not coincidental or just following along what was happening generally?

There has been a great deal of analysis of NYC's crime statistics. The
drop in overall crime, as well as murder rates, was attributable to a
broad range of policies and procedures, not just stop and frisk.

From Wikipedia:

---------------------------------------------------
Violent crime in New York City has been dropping since the
mid-1990s[1][2] and, as of 2015, is the lowest of any major city in
the United States.[3] In 2014, there were 328 homicides, the lowest
number since at least 1963.[2][4] Crime rates spiked in the 1980s and
early 1990s as the crack epidemic hit the city.[5][6] According to a
2015 ranking of 50 cities by The Economist, New York was the
10th-overall-safest major city in the world, as well as the
28th-safest in personal safety.[7]

During the 1990s the New York City Police Department (NYPD) adopted
CompStat, broken windows policing and other strategies in a major
effort to reduce crime. The city's dramatic drop in crime has been
attributed by criminologists to policing tactics, the end of the crack
epidemic, and some have speculated more controversial ideas such as
the legalization of abortion approximately 18 years previous[5][6] and
the decline of lead poisoning of children.[8]
--------------------------------------------------------

I happen to agree with your assessment of Guiliani being a right-wing
pig but it's important to also give credit where credit is due. His
strategies for reducing crime were right on the money as proven by
NYC's reduced rates, as other major cities with similar demographics
increased.

The part of stop and frisk that Harry and the rest of the lefty elite
ignores is, to be able to stop and frisk people the cops have to get
out of their cars and walk around. Once they do that, they get to know
the neighborhood, figure out who should be watched more closely and
who should be stopped. It is called community policing.
The NYPD is also running a very effective gang unit and that helps
identify who the troublemakers actually are. Most of the violence in
the cities is gang related. Some estimate that accounts for 80% of the
murders in places like Chicago and Baltimore.
