Illinois has had a ban on handgun ownership for over three decades and continually ranks highest in its gun violence and homicide rates. It has one of the strictest gun laws in the nation.  Reminds you of DC, which also has one of the highest homicide rates.

Good read on the Supreme court ruling that just overturned the IL gun ban. It will be interesting to see what happens to the crime rate IFF the state actually starts allowing concealed carry and does not make it a legal nightmare application process.

As of last Friday Chicago recorded it's 500th homicie making it the murder capital of America. This along with the murder numbers from the other states with the most restrictive gun laws SHOULD show that the gun laws in these states are not working and never will. The Liberals/Democraps and other anti gun folks don't care about the facts and figures as they show that their arguements are not basedon the truth but their own wants and emotions. The 500 murders in Chicago are more deaths than there have been in the war zone in Afghanistan in 2012 and this is an indicator of the fialed gun laws and failure of the LE in Chicago. As noted in the article the majority of the murders involve gangs and their rivals so it would make sense to focus on these gangs and their " illegally " obtained guns rather than the law abiding citizens simply wanting to protect themselves and their families.

Actually Chicago has a bigger reputation than the  Murder Capital of the USA!

Five so far this year .

Why is that cities with the toughest gun laws typically have the most gun violence? ( grrr I hate that term )

Again, they have one of the nation’s toughest gun policies… Could it be the people, society and not the weapon!!!
