Background checks are an infringement on the 2nd Amendment. You just want to grab some peoples' guns like all the other guns grabbers.It went down after background checks and gun control was passed.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?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%....
Criminals don't go through background checks, and the shooters in democrat cities are not getting federal background checks for their illegal guns......gun control hasn't stopped them and it hasn't stopped the criminals in Britain from getting guns...
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
