So if more guns are the solution, why isn't Chicago safe?Our homicide rate is 4-5x that of countries with strong gun control....It doesn't matter what the gun laws say. You keep going on about how everyone around the world should arm themselves to be safer. Chicago isn't safer despite all the guns. Or are you a gun-grabber, and want to take some people's guns away in Chicago?But guns are supposed to make everyone safe, what's happening? Are you saying that Chicago isn't safe? So then guns DON'T make people safer?They have all the gun laws you want, and they don't even allow gun stores or gun ranges in the city....yet.......
You don't want to understand that law abiding gun owners are not shooting other human beings...it is the violent, repeat gun offenders who can't buy, own or carry guns that are shooting people...and who the democrats keep letting out of jail in less than 3 years for repeated gun violations as violent felons....
Every city where you see high levels of gun crime.... you have democrats running the court system.
I know you are playing dumb.....but we don't have to play with you......
the gun control laws in Chicago only effect law abiding gun owners. They do not effect criminals who ignore the law and are willing to face the punishment for getting caught using a gun illegally.
The law abiding gun owners are not using their guns to commit rapes, robberies and murders.... They can have all the guns they want and the gun crime rate is not going to go up....as the United States over the last 20 years has shown...as more Americans own and carry guns, our gun murder rate went down 49%, our gun crime rate went down 75%, our violent crime rate went down 72%.
Now in Britain, they actually banned and confiscated guns, even more extreme gun control than in Chicago...what happened? Their gun crime rate in London just last year was up 42%..... their homicide rate was up 44%...... their violent crime rate across England and Wales is up in some cases 95%....
No...our homicide rate is higher because our criminals are willing to commit murder more often... the homicide rate in Britain went up 44% last year....after they banned guns...
As more Americans own and carry guns our gun murder rate went down 49%....
