Maybe they should consentrate on crime control - let law abiding citizens arm themselves!

No way?! But gun control is in place.. The criminal didn't obey the law? You're kidding right?!
 
A Tax should be levied on guns to fund "Gun Violence Awareness" courses in those communities.
 
Doesn't Louisiana have some of the most open gun laws in the country? New Orleans has a higher murder rate than Chicago does.
 
Gun stores in Chicago are empty.

Guns Flying Off The Shelves Amid Debate On Restrictions, Sellers Say « CBS Chicago

This is a war, pretty soon people will get the message. This is what the beginnings of a civil war look like. Call it what you want, the haves against the have-nots, citizens tired of the wantonness of crime. Not at all so much that the citizens are going to rise up against the government. This is happening because the people no longer trust the government to protect them. This is the citizens rising up against other citizens.

Actually it is a rise against the government. A government that is making it illegal to defend yourself against the criminals. And it would appear the citizens are telling the government to f*ck off in large numbers.
 
Doesn't Louisiana have some of the most open gun laws in the country? New Orleans has a higher murder rate than Chicago does.

Chicago’s murder rate of 15.65 per 100,000 people looks nothing like the American 4.2 rate, the Midwestern 4.5 or the Illinois’ 5.6 rates, but it does look like the murder rates in failed countries like Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. To achieve Chicago’s murder rate, African countries usually have to experience a bloody genocidal civil war or decades of tyranny.

But Chicago isn’t even all that unique. Or the worst case scenario. That would be New Orleans which at an incredible 72.8 murder rate is ten times higher than the national average. If New Orleans were a country, it would have the 2nd highest murder rate in the world, beating out El Salvador.

Louisiana went red for Romney 58 to 40, but Orleans Parish went blue for Obama 80 to 17.

St. Louis has a murder rate just a little lower than Belize. Baltimore has a worse murder rate than South Africa and Detroit has a worse murder rate than Colombia. Obama won both St. Louis and Baltimore by comfortable margins. He won Detroit’s Wayne County 73 to 26.

Homicide rates like these show that something is broken, but it isn’t broken among the Romney voters rushing to stock up on assault rifles every time Obama begins threatening their right to buy them; it’s broken among Obama’s base.

I didn't ask about the politics, I was asking about the gun control laws.

Gun contolr laws are the result of politics.
 
Chicago doesn't want the people hiding in their homes to have a gun, the criminals/gangs are only allowed to carry them.

I go to Chicago weekly without a gun and I don't fear for my life. What all of those who like to politicize Chicago's murders don't realize is that a vast majority of the murders in Chicago are criminals killing other criminals.
 
These seem to make a lot of sense. Beautifully written article by Rep. David Cicilline

Rep. David Cicilline: Enough Is Enough: Congress Should Act on Gun Safety
The fact is, we don't need to wait for new proposals to be put forward -- there are already a number of bills that I and many gun safety advocates have already co-sponsored that would provide significant changes to existing laws.

• The Fix Gun Checks Act would ensure that anyone who should not be allowed to have a gun is listed in the national instant criminal background check system and require a background check for every firearm sale.

• The Gun Show Loophole Closing would require background checks on any firearms sales that take place at a gun show.

• The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act would require in person purchases of ammunition, licensing of ammunition dealers, and reporting regarding bulk purchases of ammunition.

• We can ban the types of devices typically used in mass shootings by passing the Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act which would achieve this and also re-enact the Assault Weapons Ban.

• And the Fire Sale Loophole Closing Act to end the practice by which gun dealers who lose their license can convert their inventory into a "personal collection" and sell them privately.

How dare you call Chicago a shit hole. After all that Maobama, Emanuel, Daley, and Jesse Jackson have done for that fine city of Chicago. Why they have the strictest control laws in the nation. Keep moving folks. Nothing to see here but blood and bullet holes.

The democrat solution? Outlawing toy guns and printing the names of law abiding gun owners in the newspaper for the benefit of burglars and thieves.

You want private sellers to be forced to run background checks? Even if they're selling to a relative?

• The Gun Show Loophole Closing would require background checks on any firearms sales that take place at a gun show.
Already required of dealers, you're pushing this onto private sellers.

• The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act would require in person purchases of ammunition, licensing of ammunition dealers, and reporting regarding bulk purchases of ammunition.
This won't do shit to prevent shootings, mass or otherwise.

• We can ban the types of devices typically used in mass shootings by passing the Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act which would achieve this and also re-enact the Assault Weapons Ban.
As proven by Columbine, this won't accomplish shit.

• And the Fire Sale Loophole Closing Act to end the practice by which gun dealers who lose their license can convert their inventory into a "personal collection" and sell them privately.
What do you expect the ex-dealer to do with them, give them away?
You call this shit reasonable? Please tell me how ANY of these proposals accomplishes your stated goal of reducing or stopping mass shootings?
