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
