Chicago is only proof that what they're doing there isn't working and that they should try something else.But all these people have lots of guns, so why aren't they and Chicago safe? Do they need even more guns?So why isn't Chicago the safest place on earth.So you're saying that guns don't make anyone safer.
They make 1.1 million Americans safer every year, according to the CDC research.
Also, you still won't explain how gun murder went down 49%, gun crime went down 75%, violent crime went down 72% as more Americans now own and carry guns....over 17.2 million Americans who now can carry guns for self defense...and all that crime went down.
You haven't answered that.
You also haven't answered how Britain, who did exactly what you want, banning and confiscating guns...an island no less, now has increasing gun violence and crime..
You can't explain that...
"They make 1.1 million Americans safer every year, according to the CDC research." So in 400 years we might all be safe. Good to know.
Chicago isn't safe because the democrat politicians at the ward level are working with the street gangs. Chicago politicians are keeping police resources out of their neighborhoods because they are working with the street gangs. Chicago judges, who are SJWs, keep releasing violent, repeat gun offenders back onto the streets......they then go out and shoot people...this is the problem.
The same dynamic is happening in St. Louis, democrat controlled, Baltimore, democrat controlled, D.C., democrat controlled, New Orleans, democrat controlled.
They refuse to lock up violent, repeat gun offenders. Why is that?
And yes, the CDC found that 1.1 million Americans, on average each year, use their guns to stop violent criminals.....imagine what the country would be like if they didn't have those guns...
Here...read up on Chicago's revolving door policy for known, repeat gun offenders...
and from the article below, why won't people help the police? Because the shooter they identify today, is back on the street, on bail tomorrow, or out of jail in less than 3 years.....would you identify a killer who will be back on your block in a matter of days?
The Real Reasons for Chicago's Deadly Crime Wave
Because it’s Chicago — where support from “the community” typically hovers near zero — police seldom identify any suspects, much less make arrests. In fact, CPD has made arrests in only 13% of homicides so far in 2018.
A casual glance through the confidential DSR reveals that virtually every victim of Chicago violence last weekend had gang ties. Either as a member of a gang or those (often young females) who hang out with gang members. The other glaring common thread: the victims themselves usually have criminal histories, too.
In fact, poring over the fifteen pages of incidents (pasted end to end, that’s over 10 feet of incidents), only 21 of the 78 victims did not have a criminal history. Meanwhile, those with arrest records garnered a total of 813 arrests between them.
Eight hundred thirteen arrests.
At the same time, Cook County’s infamous “catch and release” criminal justice system only managed to gain convictions in 120 of those 813 arrests.
For example, one 23-year-old Black P. Stone gang member who was shot in the gut had 35 arrests and zero convictions. One perforated 66-year-old had 55 arrests!
Another 32-year-old Four Corner Hustlers member, Charles Green, had 62 arrests, but he won’t re-offend. Not after he suffered multiple gunshot wounds that proved fatal. Green’s colorful past included arrests for dope, more dope, armed robbery, and a murder for which Cook County prosecutor Kim Foxx released him without charges.
Tip for the day, besides avoiding Chicago: mommas, don’t let your girls hang out with gang members. Otherwise, they can find themselves caught in the crossfire, and they don’t always survive.
Three young adult women without any criminal history or gang affiliations suffered gunshot wounds in a single incident at 1338 S. Millard Ave. Two offenders began shooting into “a large street gathering” wounding a total of seven. Tragically, a 17-year-old girl named Jahnae Patterson died there from a wound to her face.
--------------
Meanwhile, another victim at that same location, aged 14, remains in good condition. How terrible, you say? That same 14-year-old named Marion already has two arrests for car burglaries and a Strategic Subject List (SSL) score of 385. The SSL score serves to indicate potential future criminal behavior. As defined by the City of Chicago:
Another case caught my eye. The victim, Miguel, a 19-year-old Hispanic male, told police he saw some people who recognized him emerge from a convenience store. For some unknown reason (he says) they began chasing him in the 3900 block of S. Rockwell. In the alley behind the store, he heard gunshots and felt pain.
Before you start oozing sympathy for this poor teen, know that CPD says Miguel also moonlights as a Satan Disciples gang member and has built his SSL score to 500. With a SSL score that high, Darwin will probably catch up with him soon enough, assuming he survives this hospital visit.
They are criminals with guns.....using them to shoot people to have power over them. Notice that as Law Abiding Citizens started to own and carry guns, our gun murder rate went down 49%, our gun crime rate went down 75%, and our violent crime rate went down 72%.....
If you have a criminal who uses a gun and you keep letting them out of jail regardless of the gun crime, they are going to shoot people......
Chicago just passed Concealed carry, they don't have any gun stores and no gun ranges in the city......law abiding citzens are the only ones who don't have guns...yet.
