From where come Chicago's Guns?

The map does show a few, mostly from the Norfolk area, but nothing like Herr Krause indicates. Let's see, that's from the NYTimes, one of the Krause favorites, so can't be biased. Here's a discussion of the gun control laws in Chicago and just how well it 'controls guns'. Sounds like Chuck's Gun Shop is the 'real' gunshow loophole! http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/30/us...tal-shots.html The Virginia trunk dealers are presently out of stock. Between the two of you, your IQ's might add up to moron. Cook County, Illinois, where Chicago is located, has restrictive laws on the sale of firearms. There are no gun stores in Chicago, and Chicago, thanks to pressure by the NRA, no longer has restrictive gun laws. That last is pure bull****. The NRA pushes for real enforcement of the laws on the books. As usual, you're a liar. Anyone who wants to legally purchase a gun and who lives in Chicago can buy one just about anywhere else in Illinois and, of course, in neighboring Indiana. According to the Chicago Tribue, "When it comes to gun laws, big cities are only as strong as the states that border them. And in Chicago’s case, that’s Indiana. Bull****. In Chicago's case, that's right outside Chicago in Illinois. Thanks to Vice President Mike Pence, the former governor, Indiana has some of the weakest gun laws in the nation. "While Illinois has gone to great lengths to see that background checks are done for all gun purchases, Indiana has done the opposite. To buy a weapon in Illinois, the owner must have a valid firearms owner’s identification card, issued by the Illinois State Police. Wonder how all those Chicagoans bought all those guns in Illinois. "With no permit or license required to purchase a gun in Indiana, it is incredibly easy for a trafficker to drive across the state line, obtain a gun and use it to commit a homicide on the streets of Chicago." Almost 45% of the guns collected in Chicago came from Illinois. Less than 16% came from Indiana. Again, you're spreading bull****. Further, "...thanks to the Illinois General Assembly, which was pressured by the federal courts to pass a concealed carry law in 2013, people can walk the streets of Chicago with a gun attached to their waist and another strapped to their ankle. "Sorry, gun lovers, your attempts to use Chicago as a prop to bolster your claims that gun control laws do nothing to curb gun violence just don’t hold up. "New York, in fact, has stricter gun laws on the books than Chicago. And guess what? Its homicide numbers are heading toward historic lows. Los Angeles has some pretty tough gun laws too. Its homicide numbers also pale compared with Chicago’s. "Those kinds of details don’t fit the conservative, pro-gun narrative, though. To use New York as a talking point, they’d have to admit that strict gun laws might actually have an impact on homicide rates." What this adds up to is John Herring the Racist spreading his usual brand of manure about gun laws in Chicago. You cannot legally buy a firearm in Chicago, but I am sure it is easy to do in Flyover, Illinois, where Groundhog Day Tim sleeps. From where did you copy your bull****? |
