Chicago, letting criminals out of jail causes gun crime, not law abiding gun owners...

[2aguy]

This article is behind a paywall at the actual paper site....but it has a quote at this site......

It shows that Chicago's gun problem isn't guns......Chicago's gun problem is judges letting repeat gun offenders out of jail over and over again where they go on to commit gun crimes and gun murder.....and then the democrat politicians demand more and more gun control against law abiding gun owners, who are not the ones shooting people....

Notice...when word went out that making simple possession of an illegal gun by a criminal a felony....gang members stopped carrying guns....then, after a these members had been arrested with guns....and were kept being released again and again, they started carrying guns all over again.....increasing the shootings.

Notice who isn't mentioned here......law abiding gun owners....because they do not go out and use their guns for crime or murder.....

This is why we know anti gunners don't care about actual gun crime, they simply hate guns and gun owners......if they focused on keeping actual violent gun criminals in jail.....the gun crime rate in democrat controlled cities would go down...but as we have seen, they could no care less about the gun crime in these democrat cities...they just want to ban and confiscate guns...

Police chiefs plot new strategies against gun violence and mass shootings


Even as it is beset by gun violence, Chicago likes to claim it has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. “I laugh because that’s not true,” Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson said Thursday.

“For the first six months [after the law making gun possession a felony passed], we could not find a gun out on the street. But it actually takes three times for them to be treated like a felon” by Chicago’s courts, where judges and prosecutors were reducing gun charges to misdemeanors, and the word quickly spread. Soon, it was back to violent business as usual.

Sigh, TooTinyGuy, how many times can you repost the same thread.

One more time, we have so many people in jail in Cook County that the jail can't hold them all. We lock up more people than any other country in the world.

The reason why we have a high gun murder rate is that you have guns RIGHT THERE!

They are easily accessable for people to act on whatever they are pissed about.

If these morons didn`t have a gun it`s likely that they never would`ve been in jail in the first place. Chicago`s gun crime is indeed about the guns. DUH!

Have you asked them to turn in their guns yet, tell them it’s the guns that caused them to break the law. I’m sure they will give up their guns if you explain that to them, man you’re smart!

Moron, they are letting violent gun criminals out of jail.....

They are arresting gun criminals and letting them go in under 3 years, it doesn't matter how many are in prison if they let the violent criminals out over and over again, you are such a doofus.

And this is out today....you moron....

Number of longer sentences in Cook County under new get-tough gun law? Zero

The aim of the law was simple: Repeat gun offenders in Illinois would face tougher sentences.

But a Chicago Sun-Times review of sentences in Cook County since that new law took effect in January has found that no one is actually being hit with those stiffer sentences.

There hasn’t been a single case in Cook County in which a judge has meted out those extended sentences that Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police Supt. Eddie Johnson pushed for and that they and sponsor Sen. Kwame Raoul, D-Chicago, said would happen under the law.

That’s according to a Sun-Times examination of the first four months under the repeat gun-offender measure that Gov. Bruce Rauner signed into law last summer.

Thanks to the way the law was written, no one sentenced in that period even qualified for one of the tougher prison terms.

The law was proposed after the shooting death in 2013 of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, the Chicago honors student gunned down at a park on the South Side a week after performing as a majorette with her King College Prep classmates at President Barack Obama’s second inauguration. The measure didn’t go anywhere then because of concerns it was too harsh and would fill prisons with young, black men.

A compromise finally was enacted after the number of killings in Chicago shot up by about 50 percent in 2016 over the year before, hitting a nearly two-decade high.

Because we don't have room for them. Putting out new mandates without the funding to lock them up is like wishing really hard.
