Libberhoids -- how in the world could this happen in a gun-free zone where guns are illegal?
Please.... do share your wisdom and logic on how this could have happened.
If we're all the same as the ******* and libtards claim, then why doesn't this happen in all white cities or towns?
Libberhoids -- how in the world could this happen in a gun-free zone where guns are illegal?
Please.... do share your wisdom and logic on how this could have happened.
1. Guns aren't illegal in Chicago. They can't be because of the 2nd amendment.
2. Every major city has crimes. In fact, every city does. Just depends on the socioeconomics of the area and the prevalence of illegal drugs in the area.

Your "every city has crimes" observation is not the issue. Every shopping mall has crimes. Every home has crimes.
The issue is this:
To legally possess firearms or ammunition, Illinois residents must have a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card, which is issued by the Illinois State Police to any qualified applicant. Non-residents who may legally possess firearms in their home state are exempt from this requirement.
So, no matter how many regulations you slap on people - the bad guys are going to acquire, carry and use guns.
Now - STFU
the city has had virtually every gun control law that the anti gun crowd wants
in place at some point over the last few years
yet the city remains one of the worst in the country for criminal activity committed with firearms
